We all have to live with each other and showing compassion for someone else’s values is what helps keep our community together.

Would it be okay if I posted it here? If nothing else, you may get a good laugh, or at least agree with it. I wrote a song about Craigslist w4m ads, which includes CAPTCHA.

But NOT today. There must be a better way. I gave up posting after several attempts. I know for a fact that I typed the word correctly There are times that the words are hard to read. Looks (at times) as if it has a comma at the end. With the wavy line even makes it more difficult to read. At times I see only part of a letter and must guess.. Needs some work! Sometimes… it works.

My sister's cat was stuck up in a tree for 5 days (two of them rainy) because the Firemen in Pasadena CA couldnt be bothered with a three block drive to help out the poor soul. A tree trimmer in this case also came to the rescue (but he was paid). It's unbelievable that anyone would have to weigh in bad on someone who lends a hand to assist someone in trouble. Take heart good people. Good always prevails over evil (and stupid and lazy!). Cheers to the Rescuer - and jeers to the Fireman and Mopargurl!!!

If one guy doesn't work out there are always lots of other men out there waiting for their chance. All quite liberating for a woman - but truly some men aren't ready to deal with a woman who likes to play for play sake - just like they do...that old double standard. And it really sucks when you run across them. Anyway - just like the ladies in the article, not a week goes by when I can't meet at least one guy for coffee, drinks, lunch or more with absolutely no problem. If I like them, I'll see them again - it not, well that's life. Playing safe aways and having tons of fun!

I have been an apostle for craigslist for years now and have been happy selling, buying, giving stuff for free and tithing some to the Foundation. I even post for my retired neighbor who fixes up bikes and sells them through craigslist. But my boyfriend and I had a conversation just yesterday that craigslist is going the way of eBay - first it was the individuals that were selling their stuff. Now is it all stores and businesses. Where's the community? I don't want to see rugs offered by someone in LA if I'm in Denver - I want local and I want to see ads by individuals! I would love it if you added a search checkbox for excluding businesses from the search results. Then it would be my choice to include the on-line or brick/mortar business selling its wares... Congrats again. Anne in Denver, Co area It is a mixed congrats to you and the crew!

I know I am in a different situation, but I never had sex with them. I just stuck to oral (giving and receiving). It takes a while to weed through all the fake people, shady people, and people pretending to be someone they're not but it's worth it. So great women are actually around here... Glad you two had great times. I have actually met a handful of women from Craigslist. I know I am in a different situation, but I never had sex with them. I just stuck to oral (giving and receiving).
