Just keep going, man. I think probably everyone in the world by now has a bad story about a first online date. Dating's not always fun or easy. I've had some terribly awkward online dates. Only one of...

I speak often at my job, sometimes over a radio, and I remember my first job dreading this (I had to use a radio then, too) but after awhile I got over it. Exposure helps ease the burden and makes sel...

My fiance and I are planning on saying, "I do.' The judge or JOP will read a passage that will essentially be our vows. This is what my fiance's brother and sister in law did and it was really sweet. ...
