Fool's Gold

My CL ad was up for all of 12 hours (9pm to 9am) and I got 30 replies.  Frickin a.  There are more desperate, screwed up men out there than I ever imagined--which means I have struck gold people!!!  Fool's gold is still gold right??

My ad:  I have issues and baggage....for starters I am a divorced mom of two kids...so if you can't imagine dating a woman with kids go ahead and stop reading. Believe me, I have tried to leave them at Walmart and the grocery store and even stopped picking them up from school at one point but they always manage to find their way home....so basically I am stuck with them and unless you are okay with that then this isn't going to work. Second of all I am emotionally stunted and if I didn't have a $40 copay I would probably be in therapy. I'm a little nutty but I'm definitely not what I have seen referred to as "bat shit crazy." I am well within the normal range of crazy (and I would like to point out that I stay within this range without medication). Moving on.

You are cruising CL for a lady so in all likelihood you have your own issues and baggage (I'm not judging--just pointing out the obvious)...so I am willing to assume you have low expectations as to what sort of person you might come across on CL. This is a great thing! By keeping your expectations low you have a better chance of being pleasantly surprised. I like your thinking. So where do we go from here? Well....you send me an email (and I beg of you--please use spell check)...we share some witty banter being careful not to share too much or else we will have nothing to talk about when we meet for drinks/coffee/slurpees/whatever. Is anyone still reading this?

Time to weed through all my replies...
