Finding Your Soulmate on Craigslist

I know I have talked about Craigslist before, sometimes when I get bored, I go and check out my local Craigslist. I wouldn’t buy anything or meet anyone off Craigslist personally. I know some people have positive experiences with it, I just don’t wanna chance it especially after the whole Craigslist killer thing and all the scams.  There is a section called Missed Connections, where if you see someone you want to get to know and don’t get to talk to them or if they are in a car at a stoplight you can reach out to them in this section of Craigslist.

After looking at it one day, I noticed something about a woman at our local Kohl’s the ad said: We talked about Christmas shopping, dinner with family, and touched on work as we were both leaving Kohl's. After we left, I wondered why I didn't ask to see you. Get in touch!  So, thinking my mom was at Kohl’s that day I asked her jokingly, did you meet a guy at Kohl’s on Monday and talk about Christmas shopping? She was like no, I didn’t; I wasn’t even at Kohl’s on Monday, why what is going on? I proceeded to tell her about the missed connection section on Craigslist. She was like so, these people think they will find someone by posting about them on Craigslist and hope that the person they are looking for goes on there? I was like I guess so mom. It’s kinda creepy in my opinion.  I think if you want to talk to someone talk to them, don’t post about them on Craigslist in some stalker-like fashion. I know I personally wouldn’t be flattered if some guy wrote about me like that. I don’t care who the person was. I would run for the hills as fast as I could. I also personally don’t like to be approached by strangers that are interested in me. I hate being put on the spot and don’t want to be rude, maybe it’s because I am shy or something.

 I don’t think that if I happen to go to the store at the same time as someone else, there is some kind of fate there. I believe that I needed something from the store and so did they. I don’t believe that those “missed connections” are a potential soul mate. I guess I believe, everything happens for a reason within reason. Of course I believe in fate and all that, just under the right circumstance or every person you came in contact with would be potentially the love of your life, which would stink if you worked at a counter job or was like a mail carrier.

Save This Holiday Season with CouponChief

We are approaching the holiday season. I know I like to do a lot of my shopping online. I am a single mom so, when I go shopping my son is always with me. When he was a baby, I could easily buy his presents with him with me and he wouldn’t even notice. I was able to get away with that until he was two. Even trying to hide the presents in the cart under things doesn’t seem to work well either.  I have had to start buying presents for him online.  Sometimes you can find some great deals and toys you can’t find in stores.  I always scout out for coupon codes from different websites like CouponChief to save extra money or sometimes get free items.  I could sign up for every stores newsletter but, I get so much email as is with all the newsletters I have already signed up with. I also like to try shopping at new stores since Noah’s major interests right now include space and sea life.  Both of those are hard to find at just any store.  I also have to support my VS habit, which I couldn’t do without coupon codes.

Scooping up the Field Mice and........

I am sure you have all heard the song Little Bunny Foo Foo. It’s the song about the bunny and the field mice and the good fairy. I loved that song as a kid, I did all the little hand movements and sang it all the time.  Years later I found out they changed my beloved Little Bunny Foo Foo from scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head to scooping up the field mice and kissing them on the head.  I am not sure if there was a rash of children dressing up like bunnies bopping mice on the head or what, but I am not sure that it is as effective now.  Before it taught children that it was wrong to hit others and not to be cruel to animals, now I am really confused what is wrong with kissing someone. It is almost like they are saying you are bad for loving animals. What was the punishment in the story Bunny Foo Foo was turned in to a goon.  A goon is a bad scary creature so little kids wouldn’t want to become a goon.

I must have listened to and sang Little Bunny Foo Foo millions of times. I never turned in to a goon or even touched a field mouse.  There wasn’t an epidemic of violent children roaming the streets, running amok because the child listened to a harmless song.  It makes me really sad when they go and change things to be more politically correct.  I know that Little Bunny Foo Foo had to be an older song because it was something my Grandma knew. There are millions of perfectly sane non violent people in this world that listened to the proper version of Little Bunny Foo Foo.  It makes absolutely no sense to me as there are all kinds of violent movies and shows and they choose to show those and remove the word bopping  from a little kids’ song.  It wasn’t as if they said they murdered and gutted the field mice. I will still remember it as it was, and my son will sing it properly because why would the Good Fairy punish  Little Bunny Foo Foo for kissing the mice, unless they were rabid.

Did you sing Little Bunny Foo Foo as a kid?
