This year will be somewhat different than previous times with April Fool's day due to this COVID-19 outbreak. Many people are self quarantined or considered non-essential workers and can't enjoy pulling pranks on their coworkers this year as may have in the past.
During this time, it still helps to lighten the mood so that doesn't mean those people can't pull some pranks with family members or roommates still. Those of you that don't have anyone living with you can still have some fun with your friends online or via texting.
If you're the kind hearted person, you can instead of TP'ing someones house, leave a roll of toilet paper on their porch. I'm sure they will appreciate it. Better yet, if you want to go further, leave some fake poop next to it.
For those with family, swap out the family photos with a celebrity or photoshop someone bizarre looking into the family photos. Do you have teenagers that are constantly texting? On iPhones, you can edit the Text Replacement so they will send something else than what they intended with the word replacements. I'm sure you can do something similar on Androids. If you're spending your day instant messaging friends, loved ones, or family online with some messenger app that shows the other person typing, get a conversation started and at times just start to type something and then pause for a long while.
Then there is the ever popular fart apps. Rarely have encountered someone that doesn't enjoy a good fart joke. Do you have one of those aerosol fake fart sprays? Peel the label of your air freshener off and put it on that instead. If you are intending on using the spray instead and someone is nearby, ask them if they smell popcorn. No one can resist popcorn and will take a big whiff.
So these are just some ideas to go on and I would love to hear your ideas on what you are planning or have done for April Fool's this year during these trying times. Post in the comments and thanks for stopping by.
Remember, laughter is the best medicine.

The great Social Distancing of 2020

The term Social Distancing was rather a new phrase to me until recently. I thought several goofy, corny things when I first heard it because that is the type of person I am, I try to find humor in things. Technically, we've always had social distancing via the internet, of course. Which brings me to the point of today's blog, with social distancing and many places under some sort of "lockdown" at this time, you'd think there'd be more people online. Although this site may not be the best medium for typical socializing, a majority of us do have something in common here. It's the main drive that we have joined this site and that is to meet others with similar wants/needs especially intimately and physically.
I was expecting more in my areas I frequent to be online. Maybe it's my timeframe I am on when off work or maybe it's just the areas surrounding that don't really join up here. Maybe some don't have the free time due to family being home since school closings, business closings, etc.
I've met some cool acquaintances in two of the chat rooms I frequent and hope to meet more in the future. Typically i am observant type until something breaks the ice and then it's hard to shut me up.... well, if in person and you're female, there's always a way to shut me up. hint hint, wink wink. LOL.
So I get some flirts and visits from members (new and ones that have joined a while) that are like 100s if not 1000s of miles away. It's cool and great and I do like to chat with them. Never hurts to talk and "meet" new people.... Yes, there's a butcoming and not the one that some of us on this site are here for. lol.
But....at least respond back when possible, even if you're not interested, it's the kind thing to do unless you're into BDSM and like to make someone suffer. lol. That's not the real but though.
Here, we have as much or as little anonymity as we choose. We choose how little or how much we want to share of ourselves and what we are here for. During this challenging time of not being able to go to our "normal" or typical places to meet people and socialize, Face to face meeting eliminates a few things that people can get away with just being online only. Trust is one of the most challenging things to accomplish over the internet because you can't see the body language as you get to know another person. It also allows you to be yourself without much risk of exposure in a virtual atmosphere. This brings me to the but of today's blog.... But be aware that what you pretend to be online will eventually be caught by someone if you're not being honest/truthful with your intentions.
I've not noticed much change with this corona virus and it's effects on my area other than a little less traffic on the roads to and from work, maybe a third less people showing up at my place of employment and the lack of convenience we typically take fro granted with closing of some businesses. For example, normally if I go to "eat out" I typically go inside a fast food place so I can make sure my order is right before I drive home. It's odd seeing the workers wearing gloves, holding out a container for you to place your card or cash in to pay for your meal. I'm glad they are taking those precautions to help ensure the safety of their employees. At the same time, there is so much fear and ignorance from some people about all this. I had a coworker, whom suffers from asthma and sometimes has coughing fits, that was working an area and several customers nearby. The coworker started having one of their asthma coughing attacks and all those customers cleared out from the coworker as quick as possible. Mind you, this coworker is coughing into the inside of their elbow as you should. Now I bring this up because these are the same customers that will sneeze, cough or wipe their nose with their hands and then touch things in the store and not even use social distancing with them crowding others.
It's amazing how people will react to others but then don't even think how their own actions have an effect. If you don't need something, stay at home. Why go out and risk either spreading this or taking the chance of catching it from some other person that is more ignorant?
So, I agree with social distancing as long as others observe it. No one has been diagnosed as being immune to this yet as far as I know. Take the time to pay attention to your own actions if you choose to go around some place that will bring you into contact with strangers.
Oh and back to this site and social distancing, if you contact me or flirt with me and you're 200+ miles away from me, don't have a multiple photos (and not the same identical one uploaded twice) and taken the time to even fill out your about me and what you're looking for sections. I'm all for social distancing but that's not what I have in mind if you're that far away and don't put much effort into showing me what you're here for and what you'd want or expect from me. lol
Anyway, I felt the need to write something today since not many are up and chatting.
Thanks for reading if you didn't just skim through this all. You know whom you are...

So I've not been on this site long and it's been a challenge find the real people that are here for the true purpose of this site. Instead I get hit up by either fake pictured profiles, incorrect locations listed on their profiles, or the scammers that start off buttering you up and eventually working the out of you.
Here's a list and story of some that I have come across thus far.
I have a few to list. Found one today after talking offsite for the past week and a half. None of these in the following list are where they claim to be located at on their profiles.
Mzzpitt345 claimed to be in Pittsburgh, PA. Through email she was supposedly working with UNICEF in West Africa. No ask at the time.
jenncahx34 i forgot the exact details but through searching the profile image and tineye. uploading images she sent , found it be the image of some celebrity gamer on thechive.com when image searching thechive.com
idokido665 now this was an interesting one. she hotlisted and according her profile is mute. We started chatting in Hangouts around 3/13. Was no ask in the beginning but was not very giving in details about herself when asked, was evasive most times. Seemed genuine through most of the talks. Profile shows Aurora, Colorado. She stuck the story claiming to be taking nursing classes and living with her uncle and 2 young cousins. Talked each day on hangouts and sometimes via after we exchanged numbers. On the 18th of March began the talk initiated by her come and meet me. She claimed have a travel agent she goes through as she has an "emotional support" named Muggles that would travel with her. I had found some booking deals for her from supposed aurora, colorado for around $400 for 2 night/3 night stay. She came back with info from her "travel agent" that the cost with her (needing pet insurance for the flight) would be roughly $950. I discussed that I couldn't and wouldn't cover that much. She got upset at first and signed off. Next day she got back with and we chatted a little about other things not related a trip then it came that she said she had a little saved up and if I could cover $400 then she could be here this next wee Told her i'd look into it. Today, 3-20-2020, she said if i could cover $500 then we could make the arrangements with her "travel agent" and I could use cashapp to end the her and she could give that her agent for the booking. Cashapp failed verify my info and wouldn't allow between $250 and $500 amounts so she talked about moneygram and i mentioned paypal. She signed up for a paypal as we spoke, she claimed. She gave me the email her "travel agent" send the . I tried checking out the email address she gave and at the time it wasn't a valid email according email checking sites. I showed her screenshots from my PC where I had sent the via paypal and it was showing unclaimed by the recipient. She said she'd chat with her "travel agent" and try sort it out. I went and took a nap. an hour later she hit up on hangouts and told try canceling the paypal payment and we'd do moneygram instead. I canceled the paypal payment 40 minutes after I woke up and saw this hangout response from her. She came online and started acting upset about this not working and trying figure out what do since i told her I couldn't do anything until paypal returns the back my bank account within 3-5 working days. So we chatted about some other things and she had wanted me send a pic of myself her earlier. I asked if she had received them in her email she gave. Yes was the response followed up by how attractive i was and why would I be on a site like TSdates.com or Passion or any dating site. The usual butter you up type of responses help lower your guard. So i asked her where the pic was she was send . (here is where it starts unfold) She sent it via hangouts and being knowledgeable about past scams and tineye. image searches, I right clicked on it for search and found 4 results of which 3 were her accounts on Twitter, Bigsta.net and tineye. showing this same picture and her same likeness on the profile photos she uses on this site. I shocked her when I asked her why she presented herself as E Basulto to me but on these social media sites it's Candy Basulto. Got some story that Candy is her nickname. So i started asking why her , Muggles, wasn't in any of these pictures like she had shown a pic of just the before. No response on that but evasiveness when she asked why I was poking into her personal stuff. I laughed to myself and told her that once you put it on social media like those sites, it's not personal anymore. She got a little defensive but stayed a little persistent about meeting. She claimed her Ex hacks into her social media accounts (supposedly he's a computer science major) and posts stuff and she can't change the password or prevent him from getting in it. I know a bit about 2 step verification and all that so she was digging in too deep at this point. I started playing it cool shrugging it off for a bit to see how far this would go. I noticed a few pics on her twitter with her boyfriend that was posted just days ago as well as all her social media shows her location listed as Compton, California. She said she hasn't changed the location on her social media. She claimed to have left her ex whom was a stalker and financially controlling almost 2 years ago. So I ask when her last relationship was while I was looking at a photo of a recent birthday with her kissing her boyfriend and it was tweeted by her on march 6th "surprised my boyfriend" she evaded that question. Again she starts getting defensive as she knows i am onto her. She starts asking how I know all this stuff so I let her know I've been scammed in the past and learned a lot about computers and the internet and how to find things out if need be. Keep in mind, she's suppose to be born mute with congenital CMV according to her profile. She starts talking about how she's been up front and honest and finds me "interrogating her" to be old and frustrating to her. She said she was pushing to meet so quickly so we wouldn't be strangers even though she's dodging questions left and right about this time trying to come up with some cover story behind a new thing I find on her social media that She posted as recent as an hour or less ago while we're chatting on hangouts. So i present an idea of me traveling to meet her instead where I'd have more time to be with her and it'd cost me less to travel since i wouldn't have my pets with me. She gets really defensive now and said she explained how she lives with family. I responded that it'd be better than her to have to come up with a cover story of where she's traveling to for 3+ days. She comes back with saying she prefers coming to me and if that's an issue never mind. Also states then that her pet peeve is people who think they are sleek or corny. I respond that I don't have to think I am as I know I am intelligent and already proved that within this recent conversation. I go on to mention some of the places she's been in her social media photos that I have been to and when it was. I present the Ex question again on how long ago it was as she had a photo just on March th outside the Bellagio in Vegas with her "Honey" and his arms around her waist as they posed for a picture. She blocks on hangouts at this juncture. I start looking at her other social media site, tineye. where she posted 3 hours ago a video while we had been chatting on hangouts. I find a this video where she's Talking her followers! I texted her as she hadn't blocked there yet and told her what I found. End of that story.
At least of these profiles have been deactivated since reporting customer service here on this site. The recent one I just reported a few hours ago as of this post.
So that's my experience thus far here. Not been great as too many fakes.
It must be hard for some people to actually be genuine here and not waste others time or dig for . I'm here, as I said before, for sex and fun albeit some of this has been fun digging out the scammers but not the fun I am interested in.
