Middle-aged women find sex easier on Craigslist
It takes a woman about a thousand words and a condom to get laid on Craigslist. But for a woman to be laid properly -- by a passionate lover who knows what he's doing -- well, that's a whole different ball game.
We are both middle-aged women who have spent the past 11 months sleeping around Craigslist. At an age when most women were sending their firstborns off to college, we found ourselves -- through chance and circumstance -- single, tumescent and ripe for adventures. Those adventures have spanned 10 counties and four states and involved roughly 45,000 e-mailed words, 27 phone calls, 36 face-to-face initial dates and 13 actual lovers -- and re-aggravated our carpal tunnel syndrome from all the typing.
Years before embarking on Craigslist, both of us had experienced sexual abandonment. We were both hungry for intimacy and physical touch after years of wandering in the desert. Our lives were on similar trajectories. It takes a woman about a thousand words and a condom to get laid on Craigslist. But for a woman to be laid properly -- by a passionate... more -

Another baby goes up for sale...this time on Craigslist
For sale: Week-old baby, $10,000.
A B.C. grandmother was browsing the popular classifieds website Craigslist last Friday when she came across the shocking ad that prompted her to call police. "A new baby girl, seven days old, healthy and very cute," read the ad. "Can't afford and unexpected. Looking for a good home. Please call ASAP."
Within hours of her call, officers tracked the number of a stolen cellphone listed in the ad to an apartment in downtown Vancouver.
When officers arrived, they found four adults inside, including the 26-year-old father and the 23-year-old mother breastfeeding the baby. Police didn't identify the couple.
"Of course, the first thing out of their mouth is, they said it was just a hoax," Const. Tim Fanning, of the Vancouver Police Department, told a news conference on Tuesday.
"Only they know whether it was truly a hoax or not. If they had a viable bite from somebody that came, who knows what could have happened."
The baby's parents were initially arrested and later released, though police say they are still contemplating charges.
The baby was removed from the home, but the provincial children's minister wouldn't say where the child was Tuesday.
The woman who first came across the ad said she was horrified when she saw it, even though she assumed it was a fake.
"I was shaking, and I thought, 'Come on, how did this even get through?"' Marilyn Bateman, a 62-year-old grandmother of five living in Pitt Meadows, B.C., said in an interview.
"I said, well, somebody's got to do something, because what if it isn't (a fake)? Because if it is a hoax, somebody needs their wrist slapped."
Bateman, who was looking for furniture, phoned police and e-mailed them the ad, then left it at that.
"I was in bed, late, and a phone call came in from another detective saying that the girl was safe," she said. "And I went, 'Oh my gosh, thank God."'
Both parents were initially placed under arrest.
Fanning said the baby's mother was released at the scene. The father, who is from Port Coquitlam, B.C., was held on charges of mischief but later released without charges.
The baby was removed from the home by a special police unit that includes a social worker, and provincial authorities have now taken over the case, said Fanning.
The province's minister of children and family development, Tom Christensen, said he couldn't comment about the baby's whereabouts due to privacy laws. For sale: Week-old baby, $10,000. ... more -

Ebay Sues Craigslist
The online auction giant eBay is suing the popular internet community ad site Craigslist to "safeguard its four-year financial investment".
In a statement, eBay claimed that in January, Craigslist executives took actions that "unfairly diluted eBay's economic interest by more than 10%".
No details of those actions were given by eBay.
In its company blog, Craigslist said it was surprised and disappointed by eBay's "unfounded allegations".
The company said eBay's legal action "came to us out of the blue".
The case, which is sealed, has been filed in a court in Delaware, where Craigslist is registered.
In a press statement, eBay claims that Craigslist's founder Craig Newmark and its chief executive Jim Buckmaster adopted unspecified measures in January that have disadvantaged eBay and its investment. The online auction giant eBay is suing the popular internet community ad site Craigslist to "safeguard its four-year financial in... more -
Craigslist's feelings are hurt
Love is so fragile -- here today, gone tomorrow. And so it goes for eBay and Craigslist. What started out as a casual relationship (eBay has a 25 percent, minority stake in the classified site) has turned into an ugly little fight.
EBay launched the first attack yesterday by filing a lawsuit against Craigslist. The claim, though vague, is that Craiglist "adopted measures" that dilute eBay's stake by more than 10 percent. How much money are we talking about? Unclear. But let's assume Henry Blodget's $5 billion estimated valuation of Craigslist is at least in the ballpark. If so, we're talking about reducing eBay's $1.25 billion stake by $125 million. Love is so fragile -- here today, gone tomorrow. And so it goes for eBay and Craigslist. What started out as a casual relationship (eB... more -
