Comments on: Rants: The Craigslist w4w Crisis http://thenewgay.net/2008/04/craigslist-w4w-crisis.html For Everyone Over the Rainbow Thu, 24 May 2012 04:53:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Lana Lorenzen http://thenewgay.net/2008/04/craigslist-w4w-crisis.html#comment-13436 Lana Lorenzen Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:31:08 +0000 http://tngmichael.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/the-craigslist-w4w-crisis/#comment-13436 Thought I'd give Craig's List a try. I'm a 58-year-old youthful blond woman who wants to share a house in either Oakland or Berkeley. I would like to start a pre-school with an educational system that I've developed and copyrighted. It's absolutely new and I am very excited to give it a try. I was born in Portland, Maine on July 21, 1951. I've lived in nearly every part of the United States and in Europe. I was educated at U. C. Berkeley (undergraduate degree in Ancient Middle Eastern History and Archaeology) and the University of Utah (MSW in Social Work). I am a kind, honest, attractive, intelligent, social, spiritual (Buddhism), caring, loving, independent, personable person who is courteous, polite and minds her own business. If you could help me move or put me up for a week so that I could find a place of my own I would really appreciate it. I would be more than happy to pay for my stay. I really need some contacts and support before I make the last and final plunge of my life. Thank you so much. Lana Lorenzen Thought I’d give Craig’s List a try.

when the ladies make missed connections, it can definitely lead to awkward or uncomfortable moments when it’s time to take attendance at the next dyke event.

nevertheless, i was surprised at the lack of post be bar postings as well.

Lesbian news alert: 90% of lesbians feel the same wrath of self pity and emptiness upon loosing their little snicker-doodle; that post requesting just one more night of scrabble and wine is not about you.
