This was her first episode of The Show, her weekly broadcast on WNHH. Listen to the full episode by clicking on the audio file above, or searching the iTunes store or any podcast app for WNHH Community Radio.
While future episodes of The Show will include a little bit of everything, her first episode was dedicated to the logistics of online dating as a Boomer, whom she classifies as folks who are 50 plus ... or 46 and over. She offered suggestions like Black People Meet and Be Naughty, as well as advice on what to put and what not to put in a profile picture or on a social media page.
Turner started with a basic premise: According to the U.S. Census bureau, 29 percent of adults aged 49 to 55 are now single, compared to a smaller 19% in 1980. For boomers who want to get back in the field, what should they be doing? The radio pro had a few tips.

Some people dont want relationships. Some people ... are looking to have sex, to hook up, no strings attached. You may get dinner, you may not. You may get breakfast, you may not ... it is http://www.epickayaks.org/not-every-one-of-these-situations-is-going-to-be-a-soap-opera-about-forbidden-love-and-sexual-corruption-sometimes-it-really-is-just-about-two-people-who-really-like-and-resp what it is.
You have to accept yourself for who you are if youre going to online date ... that means dealing with your body image, she added later in the episode.

With it, she brought a voice to the station confident and calm enough to match a more traditional view espoused every Thursday http://www.roxanejammet.com/relationship-with-disability-some-safeguards.html on Alisas Culture Cocktail. Why?
You have to remember that were living in the 21st century, and therefore you have quite a few options open to you in meeting people. This is just one way of doing it.
