No, I'm still only a voyeur, but I did say that I will join for real and so I will...very reluctantly (I'm insanely private in real life and the whole online thing, with a photo no less!, is way public for me). I appreciate your encouragement and I'm so happy for your big day.  Thank you for sharing such a happy ending/beginning! Wow.  Bethany, how exciting.  Mazal Tov!

I dated many guys from that site, but eventually found the one of my dreams. We are getting married in 10 days! Did you ever join? If not, then you should, unless you already attached of course.

Even on the jewish sites. I encourage you to do it and I will look further at your other blogs for your progress. This was funny to read, I often have people spout off antisemitic comment in my presents or even to me without realizing that I am jewish. I am often very surprised at the level of thought (or rather lack thereof) that these individuals put forth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It hasn't gotten me under a chuppah yet, but the people you don't want to meet will leave you alone, in my experience. As for that ignant dude in the restaurant, I'm really not surprised at all by his unabashed expressions of anitsemitism. There are plenty of ppl in this country who subscribe to stereotypes whithout any attempt to examine them; unfortunately, since one of those distortioons is that Black folks are anti-Jewish goyim, there have been many occasions when one of those idiots cme up to me and started spewing that detritus. The fools all thought it was a declaration of togetherness. ("We've got one thing in common, right brutha?") Lu,
