I was looking at back posts to see what I was writing 3 years ago at this time and came across this post from December 2011. I had to laugh. I had forgotten about this! I had put a personal ad on a dating site and this is the response I got and my actual reply to it. Hope you get a little laugh.

Bwhahaha. Oh my, his note is rich! As I read his reply I thought, “Well, at least he’s not some scamming scammer asking you to send him a Western Union money gram. And bless you, Carrie, your reply rocked. l especially loved the bit about you bringing your two protective dogs along with you. BTW, I’ve recently heard people refer to that dating site as OKStupid, which I also find quite funny. I have to think that the next guy who gets any chance of getting to know me is gonna have to bring a stack of reference letters, a verified background check, a clean bill of health and be fully approved by three very good friends before I would go out with him.
O. Me too, I told a friend that I want 3 character references, fingerprints, a criminal record check, blood test, and his financial statement and I want to talk to his exs. If he stick around for all that I might date him. Oh yeah he has to love my dog but not have any of his own. and be taller than 5’10” and any kids have to be grown and not living with him. But i am not picky.
Good list. Think I will also add your criteria of ‘must love my dogs but not have any of his own, taller than 5’10” and any kids have to be grown and not living with him’ to my own list. And I’m not feeling that I’m being picky either, just being practical & well-grounded in the understanding of what will work for me now that I’ve gone thru what I’ve gone thru with my ex.
