I've been intrigued by tales I read about matches being made over the internet. It even happened to the daughter of someone I know. She virtually 'met' someone in a forum discussing literature; they subsequently really met and last I heard were engaged to wed. So are there any tales of Mudcat matchmaking?

The singles clubs, I understand, have taken quite a hit because of chats, e-mail, etc. I know that ours here in Houston has. It would be interesting to know who among the mud catters are single. Or who is about to be because of spending so much time on line. Zorro

Still single after all these years.
Crazy too of course, but thats a different issue.

I'll get married when I meet someone of the right religion, temperment, looks, age, intellegence, talent and goals. All of these are personal things, and although I know the right church to look for the religion part in, the rest is not something I can define. I'm not the type to follow the mainstream fashion in looks, and demand that. (maybe if fashion today wasn't so ugly) Also that list isn't in any order.

In the mean time I'm avaiable, and not really looking that hard.

Single today. Will be Wed Tomorrow. 12/12/98 3:30 pm

Have been looking for a woman with a 4WD pickup, bass boat and enough money to support both me and them.
After years of searching I've given up that dream and chosen instead to marry a woman who has a wealth of beauty, love, careing, intellegence, understanding,
and too many other great character and personallity traits to mention.

Now does that sound like a man in love, or not?

Well so much for early retirement.

Here today, Groom tomorrow.

Mike, I think you made the right choice. The pickup, boat, and money wouldn't last forever. Love can, if you work on it.

May Best,

Ach chan fheil mise leam fhin a-nochd. Tha an Mhaighdean Mhara ann an rum agus feumaidh mi falbh. Tha sinn a dol a-mach a-nochd aite air choireigin.

Chan ann tric a gheibh sinn an cothrom.

Is "May Best" a person or a value judgment? I'm certain someone out there knows that you May be the Best---but Maybe not! ;-)

Bert--You said, "That sounds like my wife!" Well, let's hope it's not YOUR wife! ;-)

Bill, You said you're "preparing for a son's wedding"! I was hoping you weren't gonna say, "I'm preparing for a son's birth."---Different strokes--as it were... ;-) Were you at Winfield this year? I do remember you and those briallantly RED outfits the family wore!!! Don't recall the music, but those shirts... ;-)

Hank, lookin' "for all that" these days will keep you safely single. ;-) Me & mine (she & hers also) are totally different---to say the least. We've agreed to disagree for almost 32 years and counting. Never have been happier--or more in love. Could be the medication though...

And, YES, I'm flirting---'cause m' love cannot see well enough to know what I'm posting now even though she's lookin' right over my shoulder!

"love" to all,

Art

The post-honeymoon edition of our show was scheduled to be broadcast a month ago, but the Mudcat Cafe Forum was off line. Since then, discouraged by the various technical difficulties plaguing the site, out company has decided to switch our programming to another website. This thread remains here, however, for your use. After all, Valentine's Day is approaching. On behalf of presenter Drusilla Black and all the production crew, I leave you with best wishes.

Ta-ra,
