Have you ever wondered just what is in some of the foods you’re eating? Sure you can read the label, but with all the unpronounceable words to contend with (what the heck is monosodium glutamate anyway?) and the small problem of putting all those numbers into context (is 240 calories good or bad?) you may be scratching your head over what to make of the information.

Dating can present a host of difficulties for those who still frequent the scene. Getting to know a new person, learning what makes them tick, and trying not to mess up a good thing by being too, well…YOU…can be a frustrating and disheartening experience. You’re going to meet a lot of Mr. or Mrs. Wrongs before you find THE ONE, and the dates you choose have the potential to make or break a prospective relationship. If you knew the person better, you could definitely come up with something to impress, at least you could if you had the cash on hand for a 5-star restaurant, roses, and a limo. Unfortunately, you may have found yourself a little lighter in the wallet since the onset of the recession (when will it end?!).
