Online Dating with Matchmaking Momma

Wow what a subject. Since I found out my daughter was having a boy we have talked about this and I find that most people are not educated about the process. This is the era of the Internet, type circumcision in any search engine, google it, read a book. I actually found a book at the midwives office and it scared the heck out of me. My son’s were not circumcised as one was born in England and they do not do it there unless it is requested and the same here in Canada for my other son. You have to pay $300.00 privately in Canada. OHIP does not cover it, as it is listed as an operation that is an option.

Here are the arguments:

1. the old locker room story, but I do not want my boy to stand out. If your son had a bigger penis then other boys or a smaller one they would stand out and there is nothing you can do about that. to me this is a lame argument
2. it will cause a disease in women. This has been proven to be wrong! Education is key, and cleanliness.
3. It is harder to clean an uncircumcised baby’s penis. It is actually harder to clean a women’s genital area then a boys.
4. My husband is circumcised and I do not want them to look different. So you are going to put your newborn baby through the pain and suffering so he looks like his Dad?

Times are changing, and we have more information at hand. Do not do it because your relatives did, that is not a good enough excuse. Watch a video on how they do this operation, google the term and see for yourself. There are a lot of people in the Jewish faith that have started a webpage against circumcision. Jews against circumcision, JAC for short. So the argument for religious reasons is being challenged here

Check out this website, they even talk about women being forced to be circumcised

Well, the baby is due in 15 days, that is IF he knows when he is supposed to be born. It is fascinating how a baby knows when to be born. I have been watching my daughter’s stomach can increasingly bigger and hearing all her pregnant friends say the same thing.

1. Why is it that strangers want to touch you, they would not do it under normal circumstances
2. Everyone has an idea of how to stir the baby up…if you are over due go for a bumpy drive, drink this, have sex…come one!
3. If anyone ever wants to know where the public washrooms are in any mall you have them all memorized.
4. So much fun to see your little bump grow and buy your first maternity clothes, but by month 8 you just want your figure back or at least see your toes.
5. When you tell people you are having a midwife deliver your baby they look at you like you have two heads. I had a midwife in a hospital in England and it was a great experience. Midwives offer a more personal experience, they are there for you throughout the pregnancy and they come to your home for the first 5 days. Does your OB or doctor do that? They use to
6. Rent the movie the business of being born. It will open your eyes, Rikki Lake came up with the idea after researching midwives.

Well being as I am the grandmother to be, I just have to wait for the call and jump into action and witness my daughter giving birth to her first child, our grandson. I am over the moon because my daughter has to live here for awhile while her house is being re built (they put on an addition) so I get to share in all those great moments for the first few months.

Stay tuned for more news

The popularity of Senior online dating has skyrocketed over the last few years. If you’re willing to search cyberspace for potential love, then you might get lucky. All you need is a computer and an Internet hook up. A few clicks of the mouse and boom! You have instant access to millions of potential love connections.

There are two primary types of dating sites: sites that require a yearly or monthly fee, and sites that are free. While the free sites offer the obvious advantage of “no fees”, there are many drawbacks that lie beneath their fee-free surface. On the flipside, paying a fee gets you a little more for your money: these sites are set up to elevate your user experience and you can also expect some general safety measures to be in place which is beneficial for Seniors.

Not all dating sites for Seniors are created equally; remember that! You’ll get what you pay for - or don’t pay for, in the case of the freebies. You are also putting yourself at risk using a free dating site and opening yourself up to many dangers.

They say every website is designed to make money, and if that rule applies to dating sites, how can they operate without charging fees for their services? First off, the free sites just don’t offer the perks the paid sites provide. You will most likely not find free webcam chatting or video hosting capabilities on a free site. But maybe most important - you won’t find responsive customer service. And that means no one ready to answer your questions. And surprise! Your free dating website might not even offer a phone number for customer support.

In place of the tech dating toys and quick-to-reply customer service, you’ll get another feature in abundance: you will see lots of advertising. Expect a whirlwind of banners that pop up and pop under when you sign on. Get ready for e-mail advertising to slam your mailbox at least once a week. Worst of all, your personal info could end up in the hands of a large advertising network.

Are you still considering free dating sites as a viable choice?

OK, let’s pretend you join one of those free sites. And you meet someone who interests you. Your e-mail conversations go so well that after a few weeks, you start talking by phone. After enjoying his or her virtual company, you decide to meet face-to-face. But - here’s the problem: there were no membership fees for the dating site. So this person could be virtually anyone. He or she could have uploaded false images and provided false personal information in their profile. And it all could have been done to lure you to meet face to face! Unfortunately, this is a story that constantly repeats itself. Now, not everyone who does this intends to hurt or harm you, but sometimes that’s exactly what he or she has in mind.

Suppose you agree to meet someone from a free dating site. And then suppose you’re robbed or otherwise assaulted, what do you tell the police? Here’s the problem: there’s no credit card on file. In fact, there’s no official payment information at all. So where do the police start to look?

None of the problems mentioned in this article exist on a paid Senior dating site. While these sites will definitely charge you a fee, you’re also guaranteed a more pleasant user experience - you won’t need to sift through paid advertisements or spam e-mails.

Members will have more features on paid dating sites; you’ll be able to perform detailed, elaborate searches. And when it comes to communicating with potential matches, you’ve got plenty of options: besides e-mail, you might also be able to instant message or even have a webcam chat.

Perhaps the best feature of a paid dating site is a subtle one. If you found someone from the site that you liked enough to meet face to face, that person’s real information is definitely on file with the dating site.

Over the last few years, online dating has opened new doors to new relationships. Are you looking for love? Willing to look online? Then you are in luck! A live Internet connection and a computer will get you started with online dating. Then a few mouse clicks, you’re on your way. At your fingertips: millions of potential love matches.

You’ll find two basic types of dating sites: free sites and paid sites. Not having to pay fees is an obvious advantage. But under their fee-free surface, these sites also have many drawbacks. On the flipside, the fee at the paid sites does get you a little more: they are set up to give you a better user experience and you can expect certain general security measures for members.

Not all dating websites are created equally. So keep this in mind when choosing between paid or free. You only get what you pay for - or don’t pay for, in the case of free sites. Using a free dating site could open the door to risk and unknown potential dangers.

Dating sites are businesses, just like any other service. But if that’s the case, how do the supposedly free ones work? How can they stay around and not charge members for their services? To begin with, the free sites just don’t offer the fancy communication tools. You will most likely not find free webcam chatting or video hosting capabilities on a free site. But of more concern, possibly, is the lack of customer service. If you get into trouble, you may not find anyone who can solve your problem. Don’t even think of calling their customer support phone line; you won’t find one.

But you will get something for nothing from the free dating sites: you’ll get tons of advertising thrown at you when you log on. Expect to swim through a sea of pop-ups and pop-unders. They’ll also be dumping e-mail advertising on you - at least once a week. And perhaps worst of all, your personal info can be sold to a large advertising network.

Are you still considering joining a free dating site?

So, let’s pretend you go ahead and sign on with a free dating site. Next thing you know - you find someone interesting. You start by e-mailing each other for a few weeks. Then you move on to phone conversations with this person. You’ve enjoyed his or her company virtually. But now you both say you’re ready to try a face-to-face meet. This person could be virtually anyone. Since there were no fees paid to use the service, there was probably no membership screening done. Hi or her images and personal information could be completely false. And this person could have done it all just to convince you to meet in person. Sadly, this isn’t unusual and happens all time. Not everyone who does this is malicious or intends to hurt the person being deceived, but too often, that is exactly what he or she means to do.

If you were to meet someone from a free dating site and you were to be robbed or otherwise assaulted, what information can you give to the police? How are they going to find this person when there is no credit card on file or other form of official payment information?

You won’t have to worry about any of these drawbacks on a paid dating site. While they will certainly charge you a fee, you’ll also get much more in exchange. You won’t be sifting through paid advertisements or dumping spam from your e-mail box.

The user interface for paid dating sites lets you do much more, such as performing elaborate search functions. And many offer alternate ways to communicate outside of e-mail. For instance, some sites offer instant messaging or webcam chatting.

Paid sites offer another perk, one that is very subtle and often undervalued. If you eventually found someone you liked, and you set a date to meet, you have some assurances; the other member’s real personal information is on file with the dating site.
