Ha ha, jk. A thermal camera would almost certainly fail to get the most interesting part of Huggy's life. Snakes don't show up on thermal cameras, so you can't make a man-snake sex tape with it.
Also, I talked about one attempt that didn't work out not that long ago:

Which painting? Just fucking guess.

Yes I’ve met 2 and they both perfectly met expectations and were delightful.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I could probably write a book about everyone I've met online. I spent my mid to late twenties and early thirties using online dating. I have met very very very strange people. I wouldn't even mind telling every story (or what I can remember of them) it would be fun to jog my memory back to those days but I wouldn't be able to talk about most of it on the main forum.
I will say though that my experience was overall very good. Considering the amount of times I've been pretty much at the mercy of whoever it is I'm meeting sometimes. Especially if I was staying at theirs, it's far from home or I'm relying on them for transport or something.
I've probably met over 50 people from online, and in regards to if they were like I thought they would be, looks/ personality wise I'd say it's worked every way for me. Sometimes it's been as expected, sometimes way better, sometimes way worse.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Sure, met up with a couple of friends, also had semi-LTRs with gals whom I'd met online and then in person.

IRL and VL I do not mix, after an extremely disappointing experience during my BBS days.

A long time ago, on an Atheist forum far away, I, a person with the handle DHL and another with the handle Banjo all organised a meet-up when one of them made it to our fair city.
It was a wonderful night, much fun and sharing of tales.
Wishing you both well.
Actually, wishing everyone from that place that made it here the very best, as always.
Cheers.

I think that the effects of the chemo didn't help the situation. He's really a cool guy, I hope he's still around.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Online dating, which has been referenced in previous posts, is very different from online buddying. For one, the very reason to type the message is to online buddy or "baptize junior," as I used to tell the gals on Christian Singles.
Making friends through ideas we write and send, to the point we decide to get together and talk in person, may be the best thing that has come from this or any media. It's seriously cool. Almost letter in the mail cool.
