    My one foray into online dating began as a disappointment, turned bizarre, and then became worth it for sheer hilarity.

    I enjoy life because I can laugh at it.

    Okay. This is a direct, unaltered quote from the last person the site suggested to me as a match.

    Every girl should prepare herself for marriage and for domestic responsibilities. You are not reading that in the magazines today, but it's true nevertheless. She should be encouraged to be proud to prepare for true womanly service. She should become skilled in things that are useful and enriching to her family life. She should become a career woman in the greatest career on earth-that of homemaker, wife, and mother.

    I should stress that I have no issue with women-- or men-- who choose to stay home and raise the kids. In fact, it's preferable than kids shuffling to day-care or whatever. But that is contingent on two important probabilities: the family finances should support the decision, and the person who stays home should really, really want to stay home.

    But to put on a dating site that you're essentially looking for a prostitute, chef, cleaning lady and nanny isn't exactly appealing.

    Totally. That's why I only demand any 3 of the 4.

    Well be honest, the first part is required, then it's choose 2 of the following three.

    Nah, prostitute's get paid for sex. I'd much rather have it for free, but I include it as an option to sweeten the deal.

    Anyone fly Southwest?

    If so, what were your experiences?

    I love Southwest. Friendly people, laid-back attitude, no baggage charges, no assigned seats.

    Alright. No complaints I can recall, except they seem to have upped their prices recently.

    The no assigned seats parts makes me raise an eyebrow.

    I'm probably going to start booking with them to St Louis, 'cause American no longer goes there, and Delta just raised their rates, unless I take the goddamned 7PM flight home when I'm done working before noon.

    It's only obnoxious if you are traveling with someone and want to sit next to them. And I always travel alone.

    Why would no assigned seats be a problem, other than what Mara just said about traveling with someone?

    I've flown them a lot and never had a bad experience. Try to check-in online as close to 24 hours before your flight, so you're in group A, though even the few times I've been in group B, I had no trouble snagging an aisle seat.

    If you're tall and don't want to be miserable in a middle seat, it would be a problem. That would probably only happen if you didn't check in until you get to the airport though.

    It's not like elementary school. You actually get to pick your own seat when you book.

    Most airlines let you pick your seat when you buy your ticket, so you'll only get stuck with an undesirable seat if you're purchasing at the last moment.

    The one year I was a high school teacher I got seriously power crazy with the assigned seating. It was actually really hard to get the students into a configuration where they weren't cheating/sleeping/exchanging sexual favors under the desks.
