1) Favorite Dating Service Reviews

Senior Friend Finder
The motto for SeniorFriendFinder is, "Dating for people with experience," and experience is something that the FriendFinder network has in enormous amounts. They know how to bring people together and they know how to create a website that supports the dating service better than anyone. The entire FriendFinder network of members is about 20 million strong, and the SeniorFriendFinder segment boasts about a quarter million members. There are generally a couple thousand members online at any given time, so you can feel confident that you will meet some wonderful, experienced adults who are looking for someone just like you for dating or correspondence.

A wonderful feature of SeniorFriendFinder is that the free membership allows you to do many of the things that you must pay for on most dating sites. There are two sections to the site, the Friend Network and the Dating and Romance section. Your profile in the Dating section will be more extensive than your profile in the Friend section and you are welcome to use both sections freely. You’ll be able to search among members for those that interest you most. You won’t be able to initiate contact with others using the standard membership, but those who are interested in you can contact you. That’s a great feature and may allow you to have numerous contacts and dates without ever leaving the standard membership area.

Yahoo! Personals
The Yahoo! website is one of the most frequently used websites on the entire internet, so not surprisingly, the Yahoo Personals dating service is one of the most frequently used dating sites. The membership is huge! You’ll notice that when you do a search for profiles of eligible singles in your immediate geographical area that you will receive more results than with any other dating service. No wonder their website title is, "Discover great singles near you." And if you don’t live in the U.S., don’t worry. Yahoo! has their site interfaced for about 9 different countries and 6 different languages. Take a free Tour of their site, a wonderful flash presentation, and then start searching for a friend, a date, a relationship, and more.

One of the key features that makes Yahoo Personals so successful is the personal profile which you can create for free. It will take you a little more time to create than most because it encompasses about 5 pages and over 60 important areas.

2) Jerry Maguire Movie Review

What a great story, being able to couple a movie about football with a love story! Seems like genius to me.

Do you remember the part where Tom Cruise says, "You complete me?" To which Renee Zellweger says, "Shut up. You had me at hello." Great lines.

Cuba Gooding Jr. is my favorite character in the movie because he is so passionate about everything. His Oscar acceptance speech was just as passionate and memorable.

Rent it and watch it with someone special.

Here's a review by Amazon.com editor, Jeff Shannon.

"One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, this box-office hit cemented writer-director Cameron Crowe's reputation as "the voice of a generation." Crowe could probably do without that label, but he's definitely in sync with the times with this savvy story about a sports agent (Tom Cruise) whose fall from grace motivates his quest for professional recovery, and the slow-dawning realization that he needs the love and respect of the single mom (Renée Zellweger in her breakthrough role) who has supported him through the worst of times. This is one of Cruise's best, most underrated performances, and in an Oscar-winning role, Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the football star who remains Jerry Maguire's only loyal client on a hard road to redemption and personal growth. If that sounds touchy-feely, it is only because Crowe has combined sharp entertainment with a depth of character that is rarely found in mainstream comedy."

4) 10 Tips For Frugal Daters by Dateable.com

"You have found a possible soul mate, but now you are worried of the cost of the whole wooing process because you’re on a thrifty budget. Well, do not fret over it because there are alternative ideas. It is possible to date with little or no cash flow and it can allow you to be creative while having a frugally fun time.

1. Do some star gazing at a local college observatory. It is open to the public during the school year and it’s absolutely free.

2. Feel one with nature. Have a picnic and explore a state or national park (admission is typically under $10 or free).

3. See a music laser show at a planetarium for around $6.00.

4. Check out a poetry reading or other events at a bookstore. Sometimes snacks or beverages are provided.

5. Create a food themes night and cook each other a dinner and appetizer at home."

5) i carry your heart with me by e. e. cummings

Love poems have the power to inspire us and to warm our hearts. We should take a few minutes each day to recall an inspirational line or stanza.

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Did you know that contrary to popular belief E. E. Cummings never legalized his name as, "e. e. cummings.?" His name properly should be capitalized.

Read interesting notes about the backstory of i carry your heart with me.

6) Love Song: Can't Help Falling In Love
by Elvis Presley

This was one of Elvis Presley's best songs ever. In fact, Elvis usually ended his concerts with this song.

Read the lyrics below and you'll see what an excellent love song this really is. Then recall the smooth voice of Elvis and you won't be able to help falling in love with the song.

Can't Help Falling In Love

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

That's all for now.

Make it a great week.
