The Prescription
Welcome to My Dating Prescription. This is how this all began... I'm sitting cross-legged on my therapist's couch 4 months after my husband's announcement that he wants a divorce when my therapist informs me that he thinks I should start dating again.
Seriously??
I had told myself and others that I was going to take time off to concentrate on myself for once. Between a husband and three boys, I didn't know who I was anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my girlfriends, drink martinis like a fish, and let the hair grow long on my legs if I wanted. I had even gone so far as to announce to my friends that I was going to take a full year off from any kind of relationship.

This is a little off topic today, but as I work with a web designer to move My Dating Prescription from its humble, free WordPress.com platform to a WordPress.org platform where I can sell advertising I have been reading anything that catches my attention on the subject. Typically, this information comes from other bloggers who, through trial and error, have figured out what works and what doesn’t.
The other day, through oDesk, I received an invitation to “interview” for a writing job. It said,
“$1 for 2 – 500 word articles in 2 days with perfect grammar.”
Seriously? They had apparently mistaken me for someone who lives in Haiti. I simply deleted it. Then, they sent it to me again. I deleted it again without responding.
Jenny Lawson, AKA The Bloggess, is my blogging heroine, not to be confused with heroin. Even on my best days, with a slight buzz, I’m not as funny as she is. I always wonder what she’s smoking and where I can get some. After reading her recap of the dialogue that took place between her and an online marketer I feel inspired. The next time someone offers something ridiculous, I might have to have a little fun with them.
Tell me if this post doesn’t make you laugh out load.

The interaction with the “marketer” was interesting. I’ve always enjoyed negotiating with people like that, although I’m a little less abrasive when doing so!
Regarding the move of your blog, not one thing that I find very useful on the current WordPress platform: I can reply to someone’s comments. On the ‘Blogess’ web-site that’s not possible. I like that you and I, or a group of us that doesn’t necessarily include you, can have some focused and fun follow-up, all sorted and organized. In short, be sure you don’t lose too much as part of gaining certain financial freedom.
“not one thing” instead of “one thing”?? *sigh* I’m seriously going to have to consider proof-reading and not typing with my eyes closed. Oh, and I’ve just proved my point about replying to comments!
You did that shit on purpose, didn’t you?
That blog post you liked to is hilarious! If wordpress.org really is better, let me know so I can jump on that bandwagon. I don’t really know what’s the difference from just having your own domain name on wordpress.com…
I’ll let you know. You’ll know when it happens because the header will change.
