Diamonds in the Rough

Singlegal
You all know @goodbyegal and I have been playing around with Plenty of Fish since our respective break-ups. I’d heard it was amusing and I’ve not been disappointed. I’m gearing up for coffee with the Vegan Poet tonight, who, out of approximately 50-ish responses I’ve received on POF ( note: and this is without me [...]
