    Probably for the best. After all P.M. is short for Private.

    No, it was just accepted before you went out that everyone would pay for their own meal, their own ticket to the theater, or whatever. Only lovers would get a free ride from the other... :)

    And then there were the weird birthday parties. You'd all sit in chairs in a circle, you each get one cup of coffee and one cookie. Only tiny gifts, mostly jokingly, would be given.

    There is a book called "The Undutchables" which goes over all their weird customs, funny reading!

    Now I'm wondering how long it takes Candy Gal to "check" on all these visitors!
    Usually, when I see someone who appears hinky, I just file that away somewhere and move along. Only once has someone stepped far enough out of line to send me to others. I see a lot of hinky people and posts, and I don't want to be like that clown that scams the scammers. Been there, done that. Boring. I got better stuff to do. Enjoy, everyone, and follow Candy's advice!

  11. Hmmm...does this mean that our private messages aren't actually all that private?

    We admins can not read your private messages... they are just that. Nobody except the people you add to the conversation can see that... but what they share with other people is another story. :)

    We value peoples privacy, it is important to have a safe place you feel comfortable in.
     
  13. Thank you, that does make me feel a lot better:D

    for some of us this IS the only place we can feel safe and comfortable!!
    But i understand you can't add more than one person to a conversation unless you are more than a member is that right

    There's always going to be people who ruin it for others...I've been on this site for a while, mainly quiet and to myself but I've even experienced catfishing on here. I will say the moderators do a fantastic job with this page and always have. We all need to use better judgment when entertaining someone because the Mods can only do so much.
