actually this thread is haunted, so that might explain a bit.
before my grandfather died he wrote me a letter saying that if i ever started a thread on a message board about personal ads he would haunt it, and make all of the posters wishes come true, except mine.
seeing as he died in 1977 this was very forward thinking of him...

You're thinking -
Yeah, said it's all right
