Happy Easter to everyone who’s celebrating this holiday!
I wish I can dish out some tips on “Easter” dates but I’m afraid I don’t have any. Funny, I just remembered asking my mum a couple of days ago on whether people get married during the lenten season, more specifically on a Good Friday, Black Saturday or an Easter Sunday. All she told me was that it simply wasn’t done. Curious thought, wouldn’t you say? Perhaps someone can tell me more about this bit — answer my question, if you may.
Anyway, I’m leaving you with this light reading courtesy of …read more

Just when I’d thought I’d seen just about every niche’ possible in the dating arena, along comes one that makes me smile!

Officer Ken Bachman, an eight-year veteran, launched TheBadge.org earlier this year. Currently the only dating site on the Web catering exclusively to emergency service workers, TheBadge.org is free to users and offers a number of useful features.
