    first: I hope ma got permission from daughter before submitting article.

    second: I hope she's not overrun with creepy weirdo letters.

    third: noticed--she's 24 with a 6 year old son... maybe why it's hard to date??

    Even though everyone seems to be having a good sense of humor about it all...I shudder to think what kind of mother-in-law she would be.

    *lol* that is a good point e. still, for those interested it may be worth checking out. parents do strange things out of love and maybe she wouldn't be too bad. definitely something to watch out for though! :)

    sam - that was my impression. i think the mom and the editors will go through all the letters. yup, shit happens. that's not the only reason it's hard to date though as many of us can attest to. i'm also sure it doesn't make it any easier.

    actually, that would make a good discussion point. i was watching "Sex and the City" last night and Carrie was pondering whether all (or some of them) might stay single forever in the foreground of Miranda wigging out about being single and moving into a new apartmant with her cat (where the previous single female tenant died with her cat).

    earlier that day i was reading PostSecret and the first post was from (quite presumably) a woman who said that she feared that she's become the person she used to look down on - someone desparately looking for a husband.

    one doesn't need to look far to realize that the older one gets the more singledom becomes a malady. it's kinda sad that in this overpopulated world people have a hard time finding someone right for them. i guess just another notch on the pole of human suffering. hehehe... seriously though. it seems to me the biggest problem is that we all get so busy building our perfect little lives that meeting people becomes hard. or another way to look at it would be that we're too busy earning our daily bread to have a chance to engage in leisurely activities that would enable us to meet more people.

    cause that's really what it comes down to - there is someone (and multiples of 'em) for everyone and the trick is just meeting enough people in order to find them.

    hey... I was done being single about 4 years ago. But you don't see me submitting to the Washington Post. Can you imagine the by-line? "Wanna Be My Baby Daddy"... heehee

    You was Sex in the City? I could never watch the show... I hate girl shows (as in, the cast is all girls).
