Miscellaneous Annoyances

My Jdate subscription expired last week. That means, should someone send me an email, I no longer have the ability to find out who sent it or read what it says. And of course, as Murphy’s Law would have it, in the entire month I had the paid subscription, I received only a handful of emails, none of which ever progressed further than a phone call. In the one week since my subscription has ended, I have already received four emails. What’s up with that? Sometimes I wonder if it’s a big ploy on Jdate’s part to scam people for money.

On a totally unrelated note, I think it’s really lame that when you run the Blogger spellcheck, it wants to replace the word blog with bloc. Give me a break, Blogger is a blog publishing tool. Couldn’t the programmers have added blog to the dictionary?
And on another unrelated note, I can’t get past level 17 on >Gold Miner and my friend’s husband, who has been playing it less time than me, has gotten to level 21. He sucks.

I SAID THE SAME THING A WHILE AGO!
HOW can the BLOGGER spellcheck not have BLOG in it?

And yes, I realized that was in ALL CAPS! (I was shouting with ya sista!)

Yeah, time for bed for me!

(ps. I wouldn’t resubscribe, I think it is a ploy…)

That sounds like a total scam, especially considering they leave your profile on there without you being a paid member. Even worse for the people who DO pay for their memberships. It seems like a pretty reasonable expectation of joining an on-line dating service that your potential dates would actually have the ability to READ the emails you send them.

(no)match.com is the same way. I wasted quite a bit of time composing emails no one could respond to, since they weren’t paid members. Personally, I found internet dating to be extremely good at increasing the amount of rejection in my life.

Could be Murphy’s Law, but it happens to EVERYONE. So my theory is that it’s a ploy. I’m with Smoove on internet dating, though. Makes me feel rejected by my computer, in addition to rejection in real life. A real talent!

OK, that is just stupid. How can they not include blog in their spell checker?
