I am a sixty-five year old grandmother. I have seen a lot of BS donkeys in my day, and the Republican party is full of them. I was married to a man like their leader trump. Cruel, cold, liar, and hates women. A thankful child of The Lord under the blood of my Savior Jesus, I own no guns, don't need any. He has my days numbered. My prayer for this nation is that love for ones neighbor is greater than ones hate. Just a note to our designer, ROME CRUMBLED, but the Kingdom of Jesus Christ never will, his is eternal. Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away, said Jesus Christ of Nazareth. My name is Jackie Allison Waggoner. A Truthful Light.

Comfortable shoes, along with good digestion, are important to a good life. Maybe the lack of these points to our real problems. This is the sort of thing Nietzsche used to say, especially in his later years, when he came to appreciate the sunshine and good food of his adopted Italian landscape. (He did spend his summers in the Swiss Alps.)

Good luck to everyone!

The dating ads are sweet to read. I hope they all find love they’re searching for.

I would suggest - no, that’s not strong enough - declare that if you are allowing Singer to influence your dietary decisions (not just Singer; Michael Pollan belongs on that list), I do not want you as my doctor.

Good luck to the 3 people here looking for love. I hope to see more future stories of TFP readers meeting and marrying.

Lessee. All three heteros. Compared to zero amongst those selected to write the kickoff essays. Hmmm.

I LOVE the write ups each person did! I have no need for romance because I have my husband of 47 years still. However, because I would love to be a part of this adventure, I will pray for a romantic relationship for Bonnie, Preston and Claire each if these three are okay with my small contribution! It may sound kind of nuts but I feel a thrill about this whole idea!

I for one think the available singles all sound lovely. As a 28 year old wife and mom, I’m off the market, but I will be rooting for all three!

Alas, there is a lot of luck involved in finding the perfect mate. Kurt Vonnegut wrote “if you have an odd foot you have to find an odd shoe.” My wife and I just celebrated the 40th anniversary of our first date, and I’m about to celebrate my 82 birthday.

Blocked and Reported podcast is going to resume personals soon. Wouldn’t it be great if a Free Press personal matched up with a Barpod?

I am anti-snob, anti-gynocracy, anti-henhouse, pro-Scarlett O'Hara, and especially pro-earth tones. Wishing her the very best.
