Oh, and is your inquiry for yourself or another?

This is but one reason I love you.

"Technically"?!? Like "sort of" being pregnant?

It has been made clear to me that I would earn more as an escort . . . but I meant that I was the one who was curious.

My post OddMan ex made a "joking" overture this afternoon, so I wanted to know if he was being cheap or generous.

I refused, of course, because I have an SO and I am not a whore (aside from that whole talking for money thing we do).

To Fresno?

Did you really expect to be able to post this and not have someone ask "I don't know. What do you go for?"

Seems high for cab fare, low for anything other than a quickie in the alley.

Usually true, but remember, Less often travels in low-cost districts.

So what did the ex offer? You can't just toss this out there and leave us hanging.

This piece seems to be a good summary of the Craigslist Killer case. I can't say I learned anything new about the reported facts but there was at least one shocking revelation:

Few Americans, even those from the younger, Internet generation, seem to understand how easily their clicks and text messages can be detected, and how little privacy any of us have anymore. Every search, every posting, every text message or Twitter, leaves a cyber footprint.

Does anyone here still visit CL with any regularity?

my daughter found an apartment, and then a roommate with it.

It's the best way to advertise an apartment. My uncle owns a rental duplex in town and that's where we advertise. Reading about this case does make me feel a little bit like I should consider bringing someone else along when I show it.

I've also bought tickets and stuff from Craiglist. But with that I usually meet the people in a public place.

For dating or for selling/buying stuff? I never did the former, but certainly do the latter (although with not as much success as I'd like).

BTW, has some group of spammers figured out how to autogenerate messages trolling for email addresses? When I've posted stuff recently I often get an email within a day or to that sounds suspiciously generic, like "is this still available? I'm happy to put a $100 deposit down if you'll hold it for me." I assume they hope for a reply from a real (non-CL) email that can be added to the spam list . . .

$500, which to me sounds about right for 15 minutes of work.
