1. Stanley is a Star Wars fan. He loves all the episodes of the Star Wars movies. Needless to say, he used to have all the episodes on video tapes, but has since replaced his collection with DVDs. How old is Stanley? 40! He has been a Star Wars fan since he was a little kid. He has a fair amount of Star Wars collectibles, which he plans to pass on to his two boys. He plans to go as Darth Vader, to a special Star Wars Halloween party his friend hosts annually.
2. Tanner and Trevor are both in the middle school. Their dad is Stanley. They remember lining up with their dad to get tickets to the opening night of "Revenge of the Sith", when they finally convinced their mother they were old enough to do so. They did not mind the long wait because it was a Star Wars event just to be out there standing in line. Daddy dressed up in his Darth Vader costume, and Tanner and Trevor in their Skywalker costumes. Everybody in the line seemed to be Daddy's friends. There were a lot of other people dressed up as the other characters in the Star Wars movies.
3. Heather is Stanley's wife. She likes the Star Wars movies too! However, growing up, she was not as big a fan as her little sister. She remembers the only dolls her little sister would play with were Star Wars figures. She would make Heather play with her, and they made up conversations, and enacted plays. Heather used to put up with her sister. Little did she know she would end up marrying a Star Wars die hard! Her housecleaning includes dusting Stanley's sanctuary (study) of Star Wars collectibles, which include his Darth Vader costume, various Jedi robes, Star Wars game sets, and several display props!
4. Gerald is in his 50s. He has been for many years, and is still a Star Wars fan. He joined the force when he was barely a teenager. He hosts a Star Wars Halloween party every year. He has enough props collected over the years, to transform his house into a scene out of the Star Wars movies. His friends look forward to the event every year. It is a family event. They watch all the episodes of the Star Wars movies on his big screen TV, re-enact scenes from their favorite Star Wars movies, and use language like the characters in the movies. During such a gathering, it is not uncommon to see various Jedis, some princesses Amidala (the little girls love to dress up as her), one or two Chewbaccas, and occasioanlly one or two Jar Jar Binks.
5. Rose is Gerald's wife. She's as crazy a Star Wars fan as Gerald. Gerald proposed to her during the first Star Wars movie. She remembered feeling like Princess Leia when Gerald popped the question! Therefore, she always dresses up as Princess Leia during the annual Star Wars Halloween party she and her husband host. She still sees her husband as Han Solo. She's as crazy about Gerald, as she was when he popped the question in the movie theatre!

5 Reasons to Join in The Fun of Bidding
1. It's easy to play. Carol's in her fifties. She loves to play games like Bingo, and crossword puzzles. Her son introduced her to this game site recently, and she has been having quite a ball, just bidding for fun! She used to just use the computer for e-mailing. When her son showed her how easy, and user-friendly the bidding game was, she went on board, and has stayed on board!
2. The lowest unique bid wins a prize! Daren does not have much money. He just graduated from college, and also just got married. He and his wife live in an apartment. It's a small apartment, but in the living room is a HDTV! Daren would not have been able to afford one, with him being new at his job. However, he won it at this bidding game site, which rewards a new winner every day! Daren's bid was the lowest, and nobody had the same bid as him, so he walked away with a HDTV!
3. It doesn't take up much of your time. Just type in your bid, and click! How much time does that take? Robin uses his lunch time to place his bids. He has a little fun, using very little time, and stands to win something big!
4. Lots of grand prizes to be won! Prizes include Apple I-phones, cars, HDTVS, designer bags, and cash prizes! Sharon's a housewife. In between e-mailing her friends and family, she shops on-line, and also plays the bidding game. She has won a designer bag with her lowest bid, and made a present out of it to her husband on their wedding anniversary!
5. You don't have to pay anything to bid! Shawn likes to play all kinds of games, but he does not like to lose money. He found this bidding site recently, and has been able to enjoy a game that does not require him to lose any money. The only time he has to pay something is when he wins the prize by paying the lowest price!

5 Guys Go A-dating
1. Guy number 1 meets gal on the net. They start chatting regularly. He's cautious. He's looking to start a serious relationship. She's gorgeous-looking. They progress from chatting on the net, to chatting on the phone. It comes to an abrupt end when gal tells guy she just wants to "hook-up" - apparently a popular trend among gals in their 20s this generation. Guy decides to try a free dating site, recommended by his friends, who have used it, and like it.
2. Guy number 2 is a computer geek. He spends all his time working. His best friend signs him up to make friends on the net. He starts chatting with gal. He feels comfortable doing that because he's sitting in front of the computer, not unlike working. He does not feel the least bit intimidated. Gal likes messing with computers too! Their first date takes place at a computer fair!
3. Guy number 3 is not looking for a serious relationship. He just wants to widen his circle of friends. He pays to talk to a number of gals on some sites. He decides to minimize his expenses. He tuns to a free site.
4. Guy number 4 is in his late 30s. He's shy and extremely uncomfortable in the presence of gals. He discovers this dating site on the net, which allows him to get to know gals who are as shy as himself. They take it slow, and only agree to meet beyond the net, when they are good and ready.
5. Guy number 5 is a "big bad wolf". He's married, but wants to have some fun outside his marriage. The good gals he meets on the net drop him after a few chatting sessions. He expects to catch some sheep, but the gals prove smarter than him, and call his bluff!
