    Free child labor is the best labor.

    Ftfy

    I can't wait till mine gets older so I can reap the benefits of it.

    It’s actually more work than it’s worth. Invest in a good cattle prod

    And it doesn't get any easier the older they get...

    And whip. Make sure your threats are solid.

    Cattle prods and whips, got it. Gonna be kinda strange not being at the receiving end of those for once.

    So you can vouch for this method then? A lot of work up front ...

    The key is not to let them see you.

    Yes! It did not go as well as I hoped. We are no longer friends...

    I haven't formed any close friendships here but yeah after a year or two if I made a close friend I would meet up. I've met some good friends via different communities over the years and I'm still in contact with many of them.

    I think you can learn a lot about someone online. It's rare to catfish for over a year without some kind of validation (call or video chat) at some point! You can also tell a lot about a person from their FB posts - if they have no internet history then avoid.

    I've met a few in person... and my husband is a member here as well, so like a few of you, I live with someone. :) AND I have a few friends in RL who decided to join up once they saw the site working for me. Most of them do not participate in the community, though.

    What happens if they either have a common name OR have strict privacy settings? Avoid? And just curious why?

    You're going to love the Pickled Pepper Restaurant when you come into town.

    When I was watching TV at the hospital, I saw this commercial a dozen times about a salt gun that you kill flies with. I want to shoot salt at you. I don't know why though.

    Hahah.. Whatever TJ. You are a stand up guy. I enjoyed meeting you! Wish we had longer to talk.

    I have met 5 people so far. #6 will be @skctilidie in several days!

    All have been pleasant, although I am no longer friends with 3 of them, by choice-not because of the meeting.
    Several more on my want to meet list.

    That's the whole point of the restaurant.
