Announcing New Services!

1) *Dear Miranda*

I think a fun way to get this blog really rolling is to turn it into a vehicle for one of my secret career dreams: advice columnist. Readers are all hereby invited to email me at pullingamiranda@gmail.com with requests for advice on just about anything: dating, single life, breakups, relationships, cooking, cleaning, careers, dealing with relatives, wedding planning, and whatever else you can think of. After 5/24/08 I might entertain requests for sex-related advice, but until then, if I'm not gettin' any, you're not gettin' any advice. I will not answer requests for legal advice. Sorry.

I'll publish the letters and my answers (redacting names, of course).

2) *I Have*

The second part of the news is the launching of the "I Have" project, whereby I will endeavor to match up all my single Orthodox friends either with each other or with random Internet strangers. Random Internet strangers are encouraged to apply. Don't be shy -- I met Fiance online, and he's (fairly) normal. We met on orthodoxchristiandating.com, but unless you are into Russian brides (or are a Russian bride), I fear you might be disappointed by that site. Plus, this way I get to indulge both my Orthodox Christian side and my (paternal) Jewish side, by finally letting my inner Yenta set up all my goyish friends.

Again, contact me at pullingamiranda@gmail.com if you wish to be set up. I will require a brief description of you, a photo, your location, and what you are looking for in a mate. I'll add you to my index, and if a suitable match arises, I'll contact you again and put everything into motion. Should be fun.
