Prescription for Love

Have you heard about this online dating site specifically created for people with a health condition? Ricky Durham was inspired to create a site for his brother to meet people who battled with an illness that few people in the dating scene understood. Once Ricky saw how helpful it was for his brother - he opened it up for other people dealing with chronic conditions that would otherwise get in the way of breaking the ice.

These days, many people are seeking others online and consequently, specialized alternative dating services have emerged. Dating with a specific health condition can be awkward, especially when it comes time to divulge your situation, so an online service such as Prescription 4 Love could be just the outlet for you. Finding others with similar circumstances is a natural desire for everyone. Honesty is important, but finding an opportune situation to broach the subject can be difficult. By using Prescription 4 Love, you can be honest in advance and progress to the next stages of friendships and relationships.

Although the site was pioneered to meet the needs of Ricky's brother - he has since expanded the site to include many more conditions, including but not limited to: cancer, diabetes, obesity, IBS, allergies - and of course the more discreet conditions like HPV, herpes, and little people. As a commenter pointed out, little people is also the condition of dwarfism, a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women. Wow. Thanks to the insight of a reader, I learned something new today!

The Lady will have the Lobster

I'm the lady and the Lobster is brought to us by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. On Friday, December 1, 2006 there will be a Lobster Bash held in Babylon, NY. The event will take place at the Venetian Yacht Club. I would like to find 9 guests to join me. The table costs $1,000, so it will cost $100 a person - the balance of $55 is fully tax deductible.

I'll pay for my ticket. I'm inviting anybody within a convenient distance to join me. Come to the event, meet me, and tell me what's on your mind. Oh, and if none of that wets your whistle, maybe this will excite you: open bar, silent auction, and dancing. I've been told I dance like Elane Benes from Seinfeld. It's not true. I don't think so, anyway.

Ladies and Gentleman please don't send me out to the wolves in the CraigsList platonic neighborhood. Yes, I've been known to dabble in the singles scene, shamelessly. This is a different call to action. This is for philanthropy, supporting the research efforts of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Lobster buffet, open bar, and good times. Need a girl ask for a more socially-rounded experience? You are all cordially invited to attend! Leave me feedback or email if you would like further details.
