Dating is certainly not what is used to be. A traditional exchange of numbers at the local bar or meeting someone through a friend has evolved into scanning online profiles with dating sites such as eHarmony and Match.com.

However, dating has now become even more radical. Computers aren’t necessary. Just an old t-shirt and your nose! That’s right. You’re smelling out your partner’s pheromones, a little like a dog. But, hey, don’t knock it till you try it.

Pheromone dating was founded by Judith Prays, a web developer. Frustrated with unsuccessful online dating, Prays developed the idea for Pheromone Parties when she entered into a long-term relationship with a man who, on paper, didn’t appear a good match, but caught Prays’ attention with his unique smell. According to the Huffington Post, Prays came to the realization that "Even when he smelled objectively bad, I thought he smelled really good. And so I thought, OK, maybe I should be dating based on smell?"

Of course, something as unconventional and seemingly ridiculous as dating by smell has generated doubters. Stephen Colbert joked on an episode of The Colbert Report that aired on April 23, “It’s doubly convenient because should you suddenly have the agonizing realization that you’ve been reduced to smelling old t-shirts to find a date, your head is already in a plastic bag. Just…just zip it shut.”

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
