I had a pretty good day off today. I went to my Dr's to get an annual checkup which oddly enough turned into a 15 minute therapy session, which I won't get into detail here. Then I hit up the NYSIM on Transit for a massage which I'm still glowing from even though I thought I felt pretty good this morning. After that I just walked up and down Elmwood stopping in Starbucks for a quick cold tea and read the paper a little bit. Well I read the Buffalo News and saw an obit for a young woman that was murdered in Lockport & didn't think anything of it. Well being that I just rejuvenating my body & that I spent some money today & just decided to take it easy.
Then being the person with no love life that I am I go home and check an online dating service that I belong to, still have a profile on and kind of wonder why I even bother having it up. Well I just was going through the people who viewed my profile & realize that the victim looked at me back on Feb 14th!
There are some things that really jump out at you in what she wrote and how she phrased them that in knowing what we all know, it's kind of really really frightening to say the least. I really don't want to link to things as the last thing the family needs is to worry about creepy internet guys trying to get a date with a woman that has passed on.
But it's just totally weird as the only reason why I notice it was the picture that was used in the news stories and the obit was the same one she used on the site.
She obviously didn't see anything in my & I can't fault her for that but right now I'm kind of freaked out by the whole experience. I wish I had the opportunity to meet even if things did go awkward. It just brings the whole tragedy to an odd place as my only relationship was through some dating site of which we never meet or exchanged communication.
Needless to say I'm a bit weirded out right about now & feel extra bad after realizing this fact as I did feel pretty horrible about reading hearing the news of this violent death of a person that had only the most wholesome intentions of helping troubled kids...

I don't know how I feel about it so far. To be honest I really liked Jay , Kevin and even at the very end Stuttering John. For the last few years I really haven't even watched Conan as much as I did back in the day. But to see Andy Richter back kind of gave me a warm fuzzy feeling as it is akin to brining back Ed McMahon from really back in the day.

BPO & BisonsCategory: bpo
I received one of those "Family 4-pack" brochures with my internet bill this month. It's July 3rd You get 4 seats to the game, 4 hot dogs, 4 Coke product drinks, a program & the BPO & Chorus after the game followed by fireworks. All for $99, anyone interested?
If it's the lockport murder I'm thinking of- she worked at a... "house for troubled teens" type place, and was beaten to death by 3 of the "residents" after she started playing checkers with them.
:(((((
I can see why you are freaked out a bit, it is odd that thing about it being the same picture also.
that is a weird coincidence for you. My friend had posted something vague about it. His GF was very close friends with her and was quoted in a news article, so I finally made the connection. Anyway..small world and very strange..
(e:paul) "New York State Institute of Massage" ..cheap rub downs on Transit.
What is NYSIM?
