This article is the reason I decided to join AARP.org, so thanks!
You have some really good assessments of the various social-networking utilities, as I use a number of them. The only one I'd really try and stay away from is Reunion.com, as they tend to spam your e-mail if they even HEAR that you're online. They go into past phonebook entries and just post them at will. It's a little scary if you ask me, but oh well.
As far as dating sites, I've tried Match.com, Yahoo! Personals, and eHarmony, only to get rejected by eHarmony. How's that for a confidence-builder?? :)
Not to plug anyone, but I have a notion that the people at http://www.dreamdatingonline.com/ take this seriously, too. They go in-depth with some of their "dating site" reviews. Anyway, take that for what it's worth.
Hope that helps anyone else looking out there!
Thanks, Kevin!

Hi Kevin,
I have done what you suggest and found that what I do not need is a 2008 Volvo C70. I am not sure that with this economy is a good idea to sell it. Do you know where can I find more information about selling my car and if it is a good idea?

Hi Lucy,
You can get an idea of the value of your car in several places, including www.kbb.com, www.nada.com, and www.edmunds.com. Another great way to find out what it?s worth is to go to www.autotrader.com and search on your car model to see what others are selling it for. You can also take it to a large used car dealer such as Carmax and have them give you an offer. With the price points from the Internet and the Carmax offer, you should have a great idea what your car is really worth. If you decide to sell it, options include a dealer like Carmax, using autotrader.com, or trying www.craigslist.com. I hope that helps
