Many single sites ask about your income, but leave it optional to answer. On the one hand I think the income question is irrelevant because you could probably figure it out on your own by just by punching in their job title on salary.com. But then on the other hand, it could let you know that you and your potential BF are on level playing ground, if that is important to you. What do you think? Any theories on this subject?

I’ve recently been spending some time on OKCupid.com, an online singles site. It’s free and easy to sign up. No kidding, there is this woman Inga there to guide you through the process (you’ll have to try it yourself to find out). What I like best about the site is that you can write and take these fun tests. Tests that make you feel good about yourself. See, OKCupid says that I am capable of dating a doctor, yeah! (It’s actually hard to see, but it says I scored high on the test).
I’m also keen on OKcupid because you can specify if you’re interested in flings, long-distance relationships, friends, activity partners, etc. So regardless of whether you are looking for your husband, this is a fun one to try.
I suffer from chronic neck pain. It’s probably not fair to throw the word chronic in there because no one has ever told me that my condition is chronic. All I know is that my neck seems to always hurt and frankly, I’m just annoyed by it and I’ll call it chronic if I want because it makes me feel better. Sigh. Anyway.
You don’t think about the importance of your neck until you can’t turn your head to change lanes. Or until you can’t get out of a yoga move without someone spotting your noggen.
Needless to say my neck pain/frustration has gotten the best of me and so last week I visited a chiropractor for the very first time. Not knowing anything about chiropractic work all I expected was some popping and cracking here and there; the last thing I expected was a lecture on my fashion accessories.
According to the chiropractor my eight-pound Golden Goddess Satchel is pulling my right shoulder and hip out of alignment. The dull aching in my back is a direct result of carrying my Satchel around all day and the shooting pains in my neck are a secondary result of the bag because of the way I baby the rest of my body to accomodate its shape and size.
He said he’d pop my body back into shape for $35 a whack, but he needs me to give up the bag for awhile. I said, “Heck no, the bag won’t go. I just spent a big chunk of a pay check on that thing.”
I will, however, take my water bottle, 600-page book, running shoes, lunch bag, and journal out of the Satchel. That should lighten it up a bit. Ya think?
Beautiful, isn’t it?
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Take the next few weeks to really take the time to learn about the issues and educate those around us. There are many statistics that I could list here that would be depressing and scary, but all that stuff doesn’t really explain how someone feels when they are assaulted anyway so I won’t even try. But what I will do is give you these resources if you want to know more.

Oh, and one more thing. The blog Menstrual Poetry wrote a nice post about the documentary Searching for Angela Shelton. It’s a nice tie-in to this ever-important issue. I suggest you check it out.
