I just don't buy it.

Milwaukee is a fit city!?!? WTH? With all that beer, sausage and cheese, there is no way that city can be fitter than Chicago!

There are more "double-wides" in Milwaukee than Mom and Dad's old FLA trailer park

Internet dating isn't really considered "dating", is it?

Your question is invalid...

The thing that blows my mind is how many obese kids there are these days. It's sad that our youth are more interested in sitting in front of the tube or playing video games instead of playing outside in the fresh (ok, maybe not fresh) air playing sports or at least staying active.
You couldn't keep me inside when I was young. I considered that punishment.....

no, but there were quotation marks around it earlier which gave me some leeway, plus - I met her only after I helped get the ball rolling on the "singles" shin dig.

Fair enough. i'm not at the level with anybody that the "singles" event would be a problem at the moment. Just looking out for you...
