| For people over 50, getting back onto the scene can be hard and often scary. If you think all decent guys in their thirties are married, finding decent men in their fifties or sixties is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So what did this guy do for his mom? He began looking in a really big haystack – the entire world. He shot, edited and uploaded to YouTube one of the most original profiles you’ve ever seen and his mom’s reaction when she saw it is just priceless. |

Is it just me or do present day relations in China sound more like Jane Austen with each revealing peek into the intimate details of what it’s like to date and marry?

Sugar is sugar. Regardless of where it comes from. Refined or fruit. Your body will process it the same way. Just stay away from it.

Interesting that the hired male has his identity hidden but the girl doing the hiring doesn’t.

There is absolutely no nutritional value with sugar… It is not an electrolyte, does nothing but add calories and aggravate the pancreas.

Sugar itself is not bad for us, it’s the large amount of sugar that is bad for us. If we didn’t have any sugar at all and our blood sugar is too low, then that is not good. However, we must maintain our diet and not eat too much sugar. I’m addicted to doughnuts and junk foods because they tasted so good, but it’s not good for us which is more important.

This Rent A Boyfriend thing sounds like a jigolo service without the sexual features haha. I’ll pass.

For starters, Krispy Kreme donuts are probably 95% air… So naturally I would expect them to have less sugar than any sweet tasting foods that are more dense (and filling)…. Also, comparing only 1 aspect of a food is very misleading – you need to look at the big picture…. If it has more sugar, but also more fiber, protein, etc. it may balance out…. Krispy Kreme donuts are dough that is fried and then coated in a sugary glaze… Probably zero nutritional value…. Some of the other comparable items at least had some nutrients in them

Great article about the camping sites in New York. Although it’s hard to get solitude, NY is a beautiful place to go hiking and camping. 🙂

Rent-A-Boyfriend is a joke. When a girl is about 25 years old or more without a stable relationship , her parents are anxious about whether she could get married this lifetime or not LOL. So the girl rents a boyfriend to pretend that she has one to lull her parents.But I think nobody really does it.
