Friday’s Conversation Topics
When you need something to say, to avoid inadvertently giving someone the silent treatment, you need to be prepared with something to talk about.
I present to you these news stories to discuss when the silence threatens.
Elderly Flasher Arrested
Because it’s not so funny when kit’s an old guy waving his dong at the neighborhood.

Friday’s Conversation Topics
The weekend is upon us and you’ll be doing your thing, hanging out, partying, whatever.
And you’ll need some things to talk about so this is your conversation cheat sheet.
Man fakes own death to get out of marriage
So, you meet a guy and he’s mister wonderful. You meet his mother and things are great between you. You’ve fallen head over heels and when he proposes you happily say yes. Then, unknown to you, he has second thoughts and plans a way out of the impending nuptials that shocks even this writer: he fakes his own death.

A hell of a job, travel, women, sex…. this article features NSFW photos of women turning themselves on to the point of climax, complete with their “OW” face.

New ‘Walking Dead’ trailer is out
Prepared to be scared in 10 seconds!
Dating in the News
Here’s another batch of dating related stories you need to read.
It give you something to think about while you try to figure out why you’re still single, at the very least.
The Mommy Penalty
This is a bias of single men against dating single mothers. Yes, having children in relationship is hard and as a good thing mom’s shouldn’t introduce their new boyfriend for at least a few months until the relationship has legs and is going somewhere long term. Kids shouldn’t see a revolving door of men. At the same time there isn’t the same bias against single dad’s. I know from personal experience it’s one of the hardest relationship types to be in. You’re the man but not the husband or father. You have a good idea of how your kids would behave but need to keep quiet about how her kids behave. It’s a tough balancing act and love often in’t enough. Single mothers can improve their chances by understanding a few rules about finding a good man and still being the mom they want to be. Men could use a relationship primer too.
How Geeks Find Love
While there’s no real shortcut to finding a partner that will make you happy, understanding yourself better is a great way to start. There’s an inherent investment in yourself that you need to make so that you truly shine when someone comes close enough for you to consider them a romantic option in your life. The article lists a few points that I’ve oft repeated over the years and it’s worthwhile to refresh, or learn, them now.
Friday’s Conversation Topics
It’s another weekend coming up and you have missed a whole week of news, what with your busy (cough, cough) life.
No worries, I’m here to help you out with some interesting news stories that you can read and share when it’s your time to speak. Avoid those awkward pauses and fill the air with your take on this:
Good Samaritan Gets Scammed
It really breaks my heart when people are taken advantage of and it’s that much worse when they’ve already helped the person and still get robbed. That exactly what happened to one sweet soul in Atlanta. Of course, people will steal anything! (Toilets are worth money too.)
Son Wrecks Car, Dad Sells It For Cheap
It’s the right thing to do, in my opinion. If the son can’t handle a 1.4 litre engine car and ends up crashing it and rolling it over, well, a dad has to do what a dad has to do… and in this case sell the car. You have to like some life lessons, don’t you? I like it!
Will Google Forget you?
Google loses a privacy case brought out by a citizen of Spain that could cause ramifications for the search giant. If you ask does Google have to help the internet forget you? This will be interesting to follow, if I remember to.
5,000 Facebook Messages = 0 Dates
This guy needs to seriously up his game. I mean, I’ve heard of rejection before but being rejected by every woman he sent a message to has to hurt as well as point to some other anti-romantic condition afflicting the guy.
Geesh.
Dates Gone Bad
Was it a date, a photo-shoot, a wine drinking party or something more?
No matter, the judge found her guilty of beating the dominatrix with a bat and she could get 5 years in prison.
If you’re going to invite someone that you met online over to your trailer to drink wine and perform some “task” for you, you really want to know what you’re getting yourself into and how to get out of it.
Geesh!

There’s someone pooping in a park, for the last six months, and the authorities really want to catch him. So an advertising firm helps out with a billboard to raise awareness and possibly wipe this criminal off the green grass of the play park. I’m hoping the original discovery of these crimes were visual and not tactile!
While everyone has an opinion about UFOs and monsters that lurk in the deep I’m quite certain the eventually the myths will be exposed through the increasing surveillance technology provides us in our daily lives. With this thought I bring to you the story of the Loch Ness monster seen, more or less, by Apple Maps satellites. The truth will out, eventually.

Beyond Sexting?
If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve probably heard of big sports stars, politicians, and teenagers getting in trouble for “sexting” outside their marriages.
But what you probably didn’t know is that there are tens of thousands of women and men around the world using simple little text messages inside their relationships to create amazing romance, intimacy and passion literally at the push of a button.
Text The Romance Back?
Relationship expert Michael Fiore created a step by step system for using tiny little text messages to create a private “intimate channel” between you and the man or woman in your life… even if you don’t have much time together (due to kids and jobs) or if your lover doesn’t seem very “romantic” now.
“The great thing about texting is that it’s private and you can do it anywhere” says Fiore. “Just by sending a few tiny little text messages you can ‘wake up’ the romantic center of your partner’s mind… give them a private ‘text massage’, tell them how you really feel, and really create an amazing level of heat… just by pushing a few buttons on your phone.”
Proven To Work On National TV
Fiore was forced to put his money where his mouth is when he was featured on the Valentine’s Day edition of The Rachael Ray Show. Live, in front of millions of viewers, Fiore showed a couple how to use his “romantic texting” techniques to amazing affect. Every woman in the audience sighed and Rachael herself said that Michael gave her “chills.”

Hostess, the company behind treats snacked on for generations, presented to a federal bankruptcy judge a plan to shut down 36 plants and sell off the company’s business. Their liquidation plan was sparked by a nationwide strike orchestrated by the snack maker’s second-largest union, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers. “People are going crazy because they think they’re not going to be able to get any Twinkies or Ho Ho’s or Wonder Bread,” union President Frank Hurt said in the interview. “They’ll be produced somewhere, some time and by our members.” (Editor: Words that shouldn’t make any reasonable person hopeful.)
