    Owl, we may not make the NC shore this year because we are going to Hawaii to see our granddaughter and her family

    BTW, I was using a telescope when I peeked just to be sure he was not wearing pants.... had to disinfect it afterward ::: shutter :::

    If we get a singles area I'll have to work on my molestache and creepy smile. Then become a donating customer and upload it as my avatar.

    I agree with you.

    Theoretically--it is a reasonable idea. However, in reality, it would quickly become a Moderator's nightmare. Furthermore, just imagine the problems that would arise within in the entire WhiteBlaze community when relationships went badly. People would be making all sorts of allegations against each other. People would be picking sides. We have seen that scenario plenty of times before--even without a singles forum.

    If WhiteBlaze was the type of place where the members had to vote on these kinds of changes before they were implemented--I would vote "No"

    Do not talk about hobos!
    I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.

    Sorry, the 'do not discuss' rule does not apply to those of us who are not members. The hobos get discussed frequently in other private groups and not in a good way. I'm glad they found a home - Rock did a huge favor for WB when he gave them a place other than WB to act out.

    I'm pretty sure ATTroll has expressed no interest in a singles forum. There is the Hooking Up forum but most posts in there are platonic. Singles type posts have been attempted in that forum but they have not usually gone over too well. Based on past history I don't foresee creation of a Singles Forum.
