BeFun, BeWild swinger parties and dating site provides social variety, adventure, and the opportunity to live out fantasies as a couple or single girl. Comments and photos below are from real members.
Great swinger site full of supersexy members, and after attending our first party we are happy to be part of a great circle of not just members but friends.
Will see you at the dinner party, thank you for the invitation!
Plimav Couple 37/34
I have to say thank to the couple that told me all about this swinger party site and you should take a minute to read my recent Libertine party comment!
Wildaddiction single girl 25
Finally a sexy and young dating site that is actually true to it's words, unlike like others that promised young and sexy parties but most of the couples are too old and very ugly and not sophisticated at all. Well done for organizing something so unique.
Natasha single girl 39
Brilliant website, gorgeous members, we definitely recommend it.
Funx2 couple 39/41
Befunbewild is certainly a dating/party site that stands up as one of the most exclusive and sexiest, and for us the way they select and verified their members is absolutely brilliant - as we have witnessed at their recent November Libertine party.
Aphrodite couple 35/40
After searching the internet we found this sexy party site, and just after few weeks and an amazing Libertine party we can definitly say that is the best bunch people we ever met and we are looking forward to the fabulous dinner parties.
interested couple 34/30
We tried the 2 biggest dating sites in Australia without success and no doubt about it, BeFunBeWild is the best website and circle of members we came across.
It was worth the trip to come down just for the Libertine party, amazing!!!!
CuriousTwo couple 28/28
We are loving it! It's been really exciting jumping on together and looking at the profiles. We made a great decision joining the site! We have been chatting on the website to a few members – in particular, Curious Two, Letmein, Just for Fun – and can't wait til the next event and we get to meet everyone in the flesh! October seems like so far away now hahaha! We are both really happy and very excited to meet you both as well xxx Thank you for all the advice and support, we really appreciate it!
As single girl I could not have asked for a better or safer site where I can explore my fantasies. I met some really genuine hot couples and I'm looking forward to meeting more at the upcoming Libertine party, as I've heard from chatting online with members that it is quite amazing.
Hey, I wanted to write a little thank you to G & E for creating this website and having rules and regulations in place to stop what happened to us on the weekend.
My Hubby and I got invited to the couples club in Surry Hills by friends and decided to explore what it had to offer... we were very soon to be disappointed. Apart from parties G & E have thrown we have only visited one swingers club in Amsterdam, and it set our standards EXCEPTIONALY HIGH!
Etiquette is high on our priority list, and as far as I'm concerned (and I hope all of the members on here!) IF YOU WANT TO JOIN IN, ASK! Under no circumstance is it ok to join in with a couple without asking. Hubby and I had decided that on this particular night that we only wanted to play with each other, yet one of the males decided it was ok to "join in" without asking. I was horrified and needless to say we didn't stick around and wont ever be heading back.
G &E - I know there must be a lot of work involved trying to separate the time wasters and pushy males from the couples who just want to have a genuine good time, and I never appreciated this fully until last weekend. All the members we have met through your parties have been lovely and we have only had positive experiences. Thank you for everything you do, even finding the right venue with sophistication and cleanliness! I'm sure we are not the only couple that appreciates this!
We joined BeFun, BeWild a few weeks ago and have already met some really hot couples and can't wait to go to the upcoming Libertine party for some dancing and play!
I've been member on other swinger sites, the usual suspects, and I wasted so much time at pretentious parties where many the guests where sleazy and unappealing (no quality control!). After only few days on Be Fun, Be Wild I was already pretty impressed and decided to check out an Inferno party. And it ended up being the best party I've ever been to!
After spending a few years in two of the big sites we were so disappointed and about to give up on finding the right couple to swing with. Then some friends told us about this unique swingers site called BeFunBeWild, but we never expected it to be so good and so full of quality swinging couples.
We are not snobby or have unrealistic expectations, but we we want to choose who we swing with and know they will be as described. And honestly, in the other sites, we just wasted our time with all the fake and dishonest profiles.So we absolutely love the high standards of BeFunBeWild. We don't need thousands of useless profiles to choose from. The intimate group of sexy, honest couples at BeFunBeWild is an absolute winner.
Thank you again for restoring our faith in the swingers scene and making our fantasies come true.
I went to few parties via other sites with, now, ex boyfriends and now I know for sure befunbewild is the only site where I feel safe to join as a single girl. So I'm back into the full swing and ready to have some fun :).
G & E thank you for welcoming me back and I'm looking forward to having fun with you and meeting new sexy couples and single girls at my first Libertine party. Talking to the other members, Libertine sounds even more sexy than the awesome Inferno parties, and I'm really excited about dressing up and wearing a mask… can't wait!
We're back after a year overseas and we are so looking forward to meeting some of the sexiest members in what we consider is the best swinger site around. See you in few week for our first Libertine party. We're sure that it will be the same fun as the Inferno parties, where we met and played with some great couples.
Actually, unbelievable. Since joining just a few weeks ago we have already met with two great couples. Last night was amazing. The best night ever. The first couple we met we a few weeks ago we only did soft swap. Last night we did full swap and we all had an amazing night!
Thank you for making this site one of a kind.
We can't wait for the Libertine party, I'll have to find an outfit for the night.
Talk about one to one customer service… nothing comes close to BeFunBeWild. We loved our profile verification, not only checking that we are a real couple but also the one in thousand where the male partner was not pushing – that already made all the difference. If they go to all that trouble with us, then everyone else who is already a member has too, and they will all be great, real people!
Because we came from interstate and value our privacy we did not want meet anyone close to home, so they organised a special Socialé just for us so we could have the opportunity to meet members from Sydney, and if you're interested about our thoughts just check the party testimonial page!
We can't wait to come to back to Sydney in few weeks and we are looking forward to meet up again with G&E (what a couple) and few others that we met that night. Thank you again for your hospitality, we felt so humble that you went so much trouble just for us.
What an exceptional site, what exceptional people!!!
Gr8pair Couple 38/40
Your site is great and so far we loved all we've seen. Very classy, with a European touch. Even my husband seems to show more interest than I anticipated, I guess it's the power of the photos on men...We're so looking forward to meeting some sexy members at one of the upcoming parties, but hopefully not in the next 2 weeks when we're still overseas!
CheekyFrench Couple 39/40
After endless searching the web for an exclusive swinger website where we can find other couples like us without being mislead, we honestly can say that befunbewild is one of a kind. As usual we were sceptical, but the fact they called us for a short interview made a huge difference. We became members last Friday and decided to go to RAW the next night!
SarandBrett Couple 23/31
You have the most truly amazing swingers site we have been part of. Finally great looking couples like us, no trash or fake people.
Thank you!
StylishPlay Couple 26/26
We were advised to join by our friends FunKreature that are close friends with the site's founders, so far we are really impressed. Anyway, after we went to the RAW party last week and had a fantastic time there and at the after party we know now that is no doubt the sexiest site and group around.
Thank you for approving our membership and making us part of this amazing circle.
SweetAndDeliciouso Couple 23/27
We're very keen to meet more members at our first Raw party in June. We heard so much about RAW, it is exactly what we are looking for, nothing sleazy, and we love the venue you have chosen, very nice.
Thank you again for organising this unique site and we are looking forward to finally meeting you two, you are quite the legend!
Flirtyfun Couple 33/33
We have been members for a while and only now we found time to thank you for introducing a world of fun. We met few people online but our first experience at the last RAW party blew us away. What a great group of sexy people you have fostered.
Thank you for the sexy experience - we are looking for more. And looking forward to have some fun with you 2!
XCouple29-21 Couple 21/29
We would like to thank you for your handling of our membership application, not only you guys were so nice over the telephone but you make us feel so comfortable and safe as, like us, all the other members have to go through the same process.
See you at the Raw party in June… we can't wait!
BandE Couple 24/26
I've been a member for just a few weeks and already met some handsome couples online, and knowing that they have been all verified is making all the difference. I finally feel secure to explore and be part of a friendly, sexy group. Cannot wait to meet some of them at the next RAW party. And thanks so much for inviting me to the after party in June!!! I really liked the simple style and all the arrangements for RAW, definitely more classy than the competition.
Well done and thank you.
Passion Single Girl 23
We have just joined BFBW and just wanted to say that the process was brilliantly facilitated. Any questions we had, no matter how naive, were handled promptly, professionally and in a friendly manner. The mandatory phone call was simple and non-threatening. So far all the people we've interacted with on-line have been attractive, normal people who just have a common interest in sex.
Thanks guys for what has become an easy, fun little pastime. Can't wait till our first Raw party Saturday 22nd June, the guest list already looks great.
Sjaz Couple 39/42
Much more than we could have expected, so many sexy people!
We're just finding our feet but we're really looking forward to meeting all the members at one of your famous parties we have heard so much about (you guys are a legends), so count us in on that for sure. Thank you for the chat over the phone and for creating such a great community. Your selection process is obviously working wonders, so much better to enjoy a smaller, select group of vetted people. Don't change a thing!
Guilty Couple 39/44
When we received the personal verification call before we were invited to joined the website it made us realise that befunbewild was a really a special and unique couples website.
And once we had the opportunity to go to their parties we felt privileged to be part of a great circle, great fun members and great minds.
Thank you again for creating such nice environment where both are feeling at home.
BandTcouple Couple 42/27
We recently arrived from England and found the parties and dating sites in Sydney really sleazy and deceptive. Then we met an incredible couple (NV75) on a nude Sydney beach who invited us to join this quite unique swinger site.
We fell in love straight away, we love the way they deal with the membership, telephone interview etc
Well done again, super website, we think you can take this concept to England, we are definitely interested in talking further.
Hepburn77 couple 37/38
A community for those who prefer quality over quantity, good times over time-wasters, fun over frustration and sophistication over all. We knew this was for us after the first phone call – and it has only gotten better.
ellentee couple 34/35
We consider ourselves quite attractive and we have previously wasted our time trying to meet other couples with a similar look and age, we also have attended a few parties with the promise that we would meet other hot young couples. Instead we only encountered fake profiles and disappointment. We have been so disappointed that we almost give up our fantasies till we met another couple that told us about this exclusive swinger site.
We signed up after being on the site for just a few days. We always been concerned about the authenticity of website testimonials as they seem mainly designed to build your expectations and entice you to sign up. After such a great experience we decided to sit down and write a testimonial because BeFunBeWild deserved some recognition for creating something so unique and beautiful.
We cannot imagine the hard work behind the scenes, the time BeFunBeWild spend in selecting members. From the bottom of our heart a really big thank you for making our fantasies come true.
hisandherfantasy Couple 27/31
BeFunBeWild is the best swinger website we have ever used, we have already cancelled our other memberships. Can't believe how much time we wasted, especially with the one boasting having 2,000,000 members. Your site boasts more intimate, quality real people not a competition for the most members. After only few weeks on your site we have already met some incredible sexy couple and we have attended the most classy/sexy party ever.
bandtcouple Couple 27/40
I love the site, full of great couples and single girls at the same level as me.
Cutemuppets Single 38
Without no doubt the only swinger site to be in, great people with the best mix... well done!!!!!
lovingit Couple 28/29
I love your site with an astonishing selection of people.
Jade Single Girl 42
Great swinger site, way better than what we were expecting, especially after wasting time on the usual swinger sites. We're so looking forward to meeting some of the BeFunBeWild members at the next RAW party this weekend. We cannot believe how many young, sexy couples like us are members, and they are coming to the parties! Awesome!!!
Twobifour Couple 26/31
We loved that in the telephone interview they were more concerned about us having the right attitude than anything else.
As first timers they made us really feel totally at ease, especially after we had bad experiences in another more well advertised dating websites, where you are just a credit card number to them. We love BeFunBeWild's membership standards, and they don't allow single guys. As the female partner I love the fact that this site is thinking about the well being of me and the other girls. A big plus over other sites.
We are looking forward to meeting a lot of the naughty members at the upcoming RAW party… sounds great!
Love S & M
conexions Couple 32/33
Great sexy site, well done!!! You know how important for me to feel secure and be part fun, young group. I cannot wait to meet some of the them at the RAW party this Saturday night. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your world.
Love D.
Bicurious20 Single Girl 20
An incredible swinger site, well actually it's is a lot more than that, the best proof is to go to one of their parties! Thanks again and we'll see you at the next RAW party, we've got our tickets already. Hoping I get an invite to the after party again!
JessNSam Couple 32/34
We had only been looking around the site for a few days before the style, testimonials and sexy latest members pics easily convinced us to apply. Then, unlike other swinger sites, we got a personal phone call to have a quick chat and make sure we were who we said we were, and both wanted to be part of the scene. But even better, they actually wanted to chat with me, the girl partner, to make sure I was part of the decision making and that my partner wasn't pushing me into anything. That give me a welcome confidence that the site and BeFunBeWild community is all about making sure we girls are happy first! Nice!!!
After our application was approved we didn't hesitate to pay the small membership, as it was pretty obvious the small team were putting in a lot more personal work than the big commercial sites to create something safe and unique. A way better experience and great value compared to other swinger sites we've looked at.
Tipnsqueak Couple 30/31
Best looking people, and most important all real, as we were really sick of the other sites full of fakers. Thanks for inviting us to your private party and we're really looking forward to the new dance party, and hopefully be invited again to the after party as we missed the last one.
JessNSam Couple 34/34
We were told by our close friend fun81 about this site and since we have joined we met already some fantastic couples and feel right at home.
Fantasia Couple 26/27
Be Fun, Be Wild sure did exceed our expectations! After wasting time and money on other sites we have finally found one that is real.
We went to the Special Socialé Night and met so many attractive young couples like us, so we have no doubt that we are now part of the sexiest social network in Australia. Thanks again to let us be your friends and share the experience.
Looking forward to more great encounters.
JayDeee Couple 37/34
After wasting money and time on useless swingers websites, all very pretentious and full of false promises, we were recommended to join Be Fun, Be Wild by another couple. They told us all about it and the unique phone verification, and sure enough we got a call soon after we applied. Right away we could see how serious they are about who can and cannot be a member.
We were also so pleased that they chatted with me personally (J), to make sure I wasn't pushed by my hubby to join the swinger website, as we had bad experiences before where we met couples where she was only meeting other couples and going to parties to make him happy.
That's what makes this site so unique, and after a month we have already the pleasure to meet some sexy members. And guess what, they looked just like their profiles! Perfect.
It must be a lot of hard work but as a new member we feel really protected from the pestering single men and fake profiles populating all the other notorious and more publicised swingers sites.
Thank you again for creating something unique and for the hard work you put in. We love your style, class and integrity. And we are really looking forward to coming to one of your swingers parties soon.
hotyjul Couple 38/31
We are loving it! We love the whole site! We can't believe we found exactly the site we were looking for haha
Hopefully were doing it right!!
See you at the Next Socialé in August, we heard a lot about it and we can't wait to meet some of the sexy members.
S and H
skylajim Couple 21/21
I finally found what I was looking for after years of wasting time with other less exclusive swinger dating websites. Thank to D. in recommending this fabulous debauchery social network.
I was really pleasantly surprised receiving the verification call so soon after I applied, as is hard to believe that a sexy, young swinger website can stay true to its principles, and not just be a marketing trick.
I have now spent more than a month chatting on line with lots of the couples and single girls like me and everyone had nothing but incredible praised about the parties and the quality of members that they already met through befunbewild.
I am dying to meet some of them at the next Socialé in July or August.
Well done!!!! and please keep it selective.
Sweetas Single Girl 42
Not much more to say.
We love it!!!
No doubt about the best swinger website we have used, we cannot believe the most of the members are similar age, sexy and hot like us. It's just what we are looking for, and most importantly no single men, sleazy or too old couples.
We cannot wait till the next swinger party in August.
skylajim Couple 35/33
We have been members of few well known dating websites and we became really weary of the many fake profiles, they wasted so much of our time. Then we heard of Be Fun, Be Wild, a great website with a really genuine swinger community. But we didn't imagine it could actually be so good and so true to what other couples have told us. We were silly to doubt!
So we were a bit skeptical at first mainly because a certain few other couples told us the contrary, and because of a negative post on facebook by a certain swingers group related to a different dating site. We read the link that they ashamedly uploaded on their group profile, and instead of putting us off they convinced us to give it a go, as we thought what has been written in the article what really good, especially for a young couple like us that do not want to meet or mix with older sleazy couples.
We not only were impressed with the speed and professionalism when contacted to confirm we were a couple, but also with the strict policy that unless we both made available for the telephone interview we could have not been approved. This is so important and nobody else is doing it. Why, we think probably because it takes a lot of hard work and makes a better community not more money. Other sites are probably more interested in making money. Soon we were approved, and looking through the site we were so surprised to see so many attractive couples of similar age and look. Then we were totally blown away when we had a chance to go to the Socialé Drinks Event and actually meet a lot of these sexy couples.
We know now why there are some people that love to spread unfounded rumours, simply because they were denied membership. These people should get over the fact they will not be able to join a site like this or be able to attend some parties with real sexy, classy people in some really stylish places rather than at your local pub or some dive.
We also admire the promoters to stand up for what they believe and for the hard work in managing the such unique and sexy dating site. They are are unsung heros.
Thank you so much!!!!
And keep the exclusivity.
PS We also want to thank the swinger groups that uploaded the article link on facebook, so we had the opportunity to read the article. As did many other couples and single girls. Wonderful couples that we met at the Socialé Night Event and, like us, have now left your facebook group and the dating site that promotes you. Be Fun, Be Wild is a much nicer place to be.
Luv69 Couple 25/37
I'm blown away by the shear honesty and efficiency of the site and the members. It's great!
Is there no event sooner? I'm away that weekend in June for the Socialé. What a shame! I guess I'll have to wait for the next one.
MissDannyM Single Girl 28
suzibaker87 Single Girl 25
We have happily returned to your sexy site after a little break - we had some great meets with a couple of couples who are on here. Funcpl81 and Nonfiction.
The site is great, actually fantastic!!!! Our problem is time and time management - busy life means our fun has to take a backseat sometimes. So we really appreciate that some else has done the hard work of verifying the real people from the fakes. There's nothing more disappointing than for us than to have wasted a precious weekend, and that's why we do not use other websites where anyone with an email address can join.
BeFun, BeWild is really unique and is full of such real decent and very nice members.
Well done and thank you for your hard and beautiful work.
oznsuga6969 Couple 36/38
Love it!!!!!!!!!
We went to both parties as well, the Inferno and the Socialé in May.
As first timers on the net and in the party scene we could not be more comfy and happy in joining the site and going to the parties.
Really a true revelation, especially as we previously found it impossible to find a group of people and parties with so many young couples like us, but most importantly with so many nice decent people.
Thanks for creating such nice and SAFE circle of sexy members, and thank you so much for your hospitality.
letmein Couple 26/26
We didn't believe it when another couple told us about the site, but we were curious about especially when we read what the site is all about.
We also didn't believe that the Membership is actually free, other sites have made us instantly suspicious and we thought it was just the usual trick to get you to sign up then only to find out that you have to pay to send messages.
So it's been fantastic to find out that it really is actually free. But what it has been even more unexpected is the high standard of members - finally a sexy site with members of the same age and look.
Well done!!
Dirtyyoungcpl11 Couple 26/27
We've been members of the site for a long time, and tried an Inferno Party. Wow! We are just sad we live so far away, but even so we've met so many sexy people and every time we are in Sydney we have a lot fun.
You have created something really unique and so sexy and we can't thank you enough. And we cannot believe you do not charge for all your hard work! BeFun, BeWild has saved us so much time and disappointment by having a strict verification process and such high standards. Absolutely worth it!
Happydays Couple 33/36
I was intrigued when my gf told me about the site, I never thought something like this existed.
I went to an Inferno party recently and I had a really sexy time. I was surprised there where couples sexier and naughtier than me, just like the website… lol.
I will be going to the next Socialé… but I hope there will be an after party as I like to have some sexy time ;-)
Rosebud Single Girl 27
We love going through people profiles and checking out there info and pics. They all sound like such fun people and we wonder why we didn't do this earlier!
Jadeheat Single Girl 30
May, 2012
philjo Couple 24/25
The only safe website to use, especially for a single girl like me. Like the website and the swingers parties – I love the exclusivity, the telephone interview is obviously working great to keep out the fakers!
Ambrehudson Single Girl 30
Best site, very unique… but most of all we love the most is the exclusivity.
shyfirsttimers Couple 31/32
We were members with RHP and AMM, now we are not using them any longer as we only wasted our time and money…
Once we discovered BeFunBeWild we didn't need any other websites because every member here is just what we are looking for, and we had a first hand experience of the quality of the members when we attended recent Inferno Party. Brilliant!
Absolutely the best dating site, we love it – it's more concentrated on the quality of the members rather than the numbers.
TonguEnCheek762 Couple 24/25
We love this dating site as it is simple and they are obviously building a trustworthy network of like-minded sexy young people. It was important for us to find a website and parties that are suitable for a young couple like us, as we have been members to other website where we had wasted our time and money, and we have been to swingers parties only full of ugly and older couples.
Nate Couple 23/25
Of all the swinger wesbites we have used here in Australia and overseas, nothing compares BeFun, BeWild.
Just like with their parties, we love the high standards and strict selection criteria.
It's wild, it's fun… well done!!!!
Steevecloe Couple 32/38
There is only good things to say about BeFun, BeWild swinger website. We've been happily using it for a while now, and we think the telephone verification for age and appearance etc, is one of the best ideas ever. It is saving us a lot of time and a lot of crap that we have found in other websites.
We had the opportunity to go to the Inferno Party where we realised firsthand the quality of all the members, and we had the time of our life.
Thanks so much for inviting to join such a unique website, for letting us be part of this classy network. It made all the difference for us.
Funfilled Couple 28/38
We only use this site, why change it when you have the best. It's full of really nice sexy members.
bubbles_n_flash Couple 26/27
We agree with all the other members, BeFun, BeWild is a unique, young and very trendy swinger website, please keep it very exclusive that's why we like it.
gr8pair Couple 37/41
Just one thing to say about this swinger network and website… we have cancelled all our other website memberships, this one is "SIMPLY THE BEST ".
Deliciousxxx Couple 39/40
Like the Inferno Party, the BeFun, BeWild website is the best we ever came across, had no idea anything like this existed. We have been using a lot other swingers websites and we were very disappointed with them.
Other sites make you pay to send a message or wink. But we really like the BeFun, BeWild website not because it's FREE, but because is full of real attractive members.
We think this swinger scene is so successful and so good because our hosts are like us, sophisticated, attractive, and very selective! They finally brought some class to a world usually seen as sleazy and dirty. You have to join and go to one of their parties to understand that they have created something really special.
poncho_and_betsy Couple 33/34
I spent time before in other websites where I only found trouble makers, I was bombarded by msgs from single guys even if my profile stated that I was looking for my first experience with a girl or couple.
I love the idea that there are NO SINGLE MALES, every member has to have a phone interview, and they are selected by look and age.
For a young girl like me safety it is important, and I definitely I do not wish to meet and mix with older, unattractive couples.
I have already met few nice members, especially after I went to the Inferno Pool Party, where I had the time of my life.
Hendrix Single 23
It is not just the best sexy website but the best circle of naughty and friendly couples and single girls, as we had the opportunity to meet some of them at our first Inferno Party.
Sxeduo Couple 25/35
Wow. This is the best website ever, no contest. Thank you.
Dex14 Couple 32/37
We came across the website after we had been recommended to join, and since the start we loved it, it's full of great friendly and sexy couples and hot single girls. We couldn't have asked for more because all the hard work had been done for us - we had wasted so much time with other websites that are full of fake profiles and pestering single men.
Thank you again for spending so much of your time and energy in creating something so unique and beautiful, we feel so honoured to be part of the BeFun, BeWild circle.
Chilemango Couple 31/38
After joining BeFun, BeWild we quickly came to feel at home. Everyone we have spoken to is nice and respectful. We feel secure in searching and in being found as we know each member is real, and no single males means no hassles. The site itself is easy to use and fun. Very sexy site, thanks for making this site, we love it!!!!!!
We can't wait to come to the next party, we have been chatting with other couples on line and we hear great things.
Jaznaz Couple 28/40
September, 2011
After I met our hosts, the couple behind this site, at their Inferno Party I fully understood why they created the website and parties like no other. They're not only an attractive, sexy couple but their sophistication is quite impressive, and their astonishing venues are a testament to their taste and class.
Thanks again for letting me be a part of your sexy social network.
Juniper Single Girl 33
Great, great, great website. The perfect mix of couples and single girls for us, it is exactly what we are looking for.
Euroz Couple 33/38
We were invited to join the site and we love it, it has the right mix of the couples that we want to meet and best of all they have been verified.
We just attended the Inferno Party where we meet a lot of the members, if all the members are like the ones we met you guys have created the best sexy website and social network in Australia. We are glad that we are member, now there's no need to pay for other sites full of single men pretending to be couples or older couples pretending to be young.
shire_2230 Couple 31/33
We have been members just for few weeks and we love it, we met already some couples with similar ages and we went to the Inferno Party. We are closing our membership to the other websites where we have wasted our money and time. Just so glad that someone told us about BeFun, BeWild, it's like nothing else we have experienced.
Lucky to be members!
barty208 Couple 23/26
Great website, great social network, easy-to-use but the best is the quality of the members. Well done and keep the standards high!
coupleonfire21 Couple 26/36
Thanks for starting a real site like this. We have been on a number of sites of late testing the waters and we only found scammers, well my husband did anyway, and the boys I find are only Boys!
fubunsari69 Couple 27/31
We want to thank our great new friends for giving us such a fantastic start to this lifestyle. While we are yet to meet anyone from this site... yet (travelling at the moment!), they have given us some good advice as to what to steer well clear of! It can be so confusing as a new couple to become a little overwhelmed with everything, but thanks to a phone call or two, we were guided away from what could have potentially given us a really bad experience.
We love the way this site is so secure and that it's selective and people are really friendly. Looking forward to our first Socialé in August and Inferno in September! Thanks again guys and hope to meet you soon!

We heard about and were very curious if a site like this really existed. We were really very pleased to find out that it actually exceeded all our expectations. Very classy, very well designed, easy-to-use and great to see more select members joining every day! But keep it exclusive, do not lose the concept as it is a brilliant idea. We will come to the next Socialé Event as we have spoken with other members online who gave us fantastic feedback. Well done!
Thanks again, L & S XO

I cannot believe how many attractive, hot young couples there are here and we are very happy to know that you personally check everyone, it definitely made us even happier once you called to verify us.
We can't wait to come to one of your famous parties.
Flirt101 Couple 24/26
We've been members on a few other dating sites for swingers, but BeFun, Be Wild is in a league of it's own in every respect. We've met so many cool and funny people and, unlike other dating sites, NOT had to worry about fake profiles, men pretending to be girls etc. We've had sooo much fun since we joined ;-) Thank you!

Awesome website, with so may super hot couples and singles!!! We've never seen a site with such high quality AND genuine members.
funtimes85 Couple 25/26
G and E have done a first class job with the website, it's so easy to use and looks great. Such a great mix of fabulous people, and no imposters!!!
Great work with the website. You bring class and style to the potentially sleazy world of swinging... keeping standards really high, ensuring an exceptional selection of genuine, interesting, and beautiful people. Finally someone has sorted out what we have all wanted for years!

Love the party groups on your website!! Great idea. Our hosts are running the warmest, most genuine community ever. Totally welcoming!
Thanks so much.
bigkids Couple 27/29
Wow, what a find. Absolutely love that you personally check members with a phone call. Thank you, thank you! Straight away we were meeting people online and making connections for future friendship - and possibly more! Then we went to one of your wonderful parties and guess what, the people there were just who they said they were!! Better than we could have expected in every way.
We could not have been made to feel more welcome than we have since joining this site.
Thank you so much!!!
kally_with_Boy Couple 25/29
Finally it's easy for us to meet genuine people!!! I don't know how long we have spent wasted on other websites just to find out that heaps of profiles are not real or - groan - single men pretending to be couples or single girls.
A lot of fun, sexy people... heaven ;)
hot_pleasure_AX Couple 29/30
We were a bit hesitant about the scene after our experience with other websites. They all had so many fake people and you never felt sure who you were dealing with. BeFun, BeWild is soooo different!!!
We feel so welcome here and were very pleasantly surprised by all the gorgeous and exciting members. There's no pressure or expectations and everyone makes us feel at ease. Our hosts are such truly wonderful and relaxed people both online and off!
adam_and_eve69 Couple 25/37
Love all the great features, especially being able to chat with and see who's coming to your amazing parties.
badkitty Couple 38/40
We really love your website. From the the front door you feel this is a top quality place run by people who care. Personally vetting your members... well as soon as we saw that we knew we were going to find lots of genuine friends without wading through heaps of dodgy profiles! And we were right!!
fun81 Couple 29/30
I am really keen to attend your next inferno party - just joined the group! I've spoken to a lot of members on this site about it and mentioned I was a little anxious as single girl, but all have said confidently that you make us feel very welcome and relaxed, and your parties are amazing. Lovely feedback. The website is great, especially as more hot young members come online :-)
See you in March at the 5th Inferno Party.
letgo2 Single Girl 37
I feel safe, secure and welcomed on this site. I take comfort in the security of knowing that everyone here is genuine and respectful - and that thankfully that the creators have taken the time to build such a safe environment. It's a no pressure fun site with like-minded people, where you can participate as much or as little as you like. Makes life so much easier, and so much more FUN! I feel like I've made some great friends already and I only joined yesterday!
violet Couple 38/32
I finally found what I was looking for.
For a single girl nothing is more reassuring than a website where the hard work has been done for you. A great selection of people. I am looking forward to meeting some hot couples and having some fun - I think the next Inferno Party, my friend Rach has highly recommended it.

Best website ever!
Thank you for finally coming up with everyone really wants, a brilliant idea.
sexiarssabel2 Couple 42/44
In creating this fantastic website you made so easy for us to meet finally the right people. We have spent months and years in other websites just to find out that most profiles are fakes or even worse are single males pretending to be couples or single girls.
We know how much time and effort you put in. We know that you want to keep this site very private but we will be more than happy to recommend it to people that we know and trust.
Keep the good work and thank you again for letting us be part of your fantastic, fun and naughty circle.
crystalsrich Couple 32/30
Finally a website free of time wasters and single males. And everyone looks real nice and they have the right age.
LoveandHarmony Couple 41/33
Be Fun Be Wild is our preferred adult site because it's run by real people who like the members, are also looking for good clean adult fun = they know what members want in a site. Happy hunting.
Drsuess Couple 34/36
The BeFun, BeWild website is the best place my partner and myself have found for the scene. It is a website full of genuine fun loving people. Everybody is verified over the phone before they are allowed to join. This ensures 'real people' only, and weeds out all the fakes. It is created and run by swingers, for swingers- this means for them its a passion, not a job. The site is of the highest quality and has many features, from live video chat rooms to picture contests! I particularly love the ability to join groups within the website, allowing you to easily find people with similar interests.
wildthings Couple 26/30
The site is fantastic, well done, we have had quite a few messages and chats already from some very sexy (and real) people just after one day we had signed in.
The private chat function is great, the site is easy to navigate, so yeah, thumbs up from us.
And ditto on the Inferno party, we sure will be coming along to one soon enough, we had a ball at last party at Huber House (Fantasy House Party), but we heard the the Inferno is even more fun and we heard that the venues are always stunning.
Rock_n_Bambi Couple 35/27
BeFun, BeWild is without doubt the best introductions and community website for Australian swingers clubs.
We have been on the site since practically the beginning, and love it, mostly for its security.
We are always confident that we are talking to REAL couples and single ladies, and not men pretending to be women, or company employees trying to make us pay to upgrade.
This is because the site is run by a real swinger couple, who verify by phone every single applicant, and apply a very realistic set of criteria to them.
Because this is a lifestyle thing to the BeFun, BeWild owners, membership is completely free to those who successfully meet this criteria, as are all the facilities of the site.
Regardless of your experience or involvement level, if you are a hot couple or single lady, you live in Australia, and you want to meet genuine people just like you, BeFun, BeWild is the place for you.
Ask us govandlis, and look us up when you're 'inside', he he.
govandlis Couple 36/28
A real example of "point of difference". That's the best way to describe BFBW. Real people, genuinely screened, and genuinely interested in meeting and playing. This takes out all the crap we have found on other dating sites with non-genuine and fake profiles.
BeFun, BeWild has perfectly achieved this point of difference which gives us real piece of mind. Knowing that members have been personally verified by and extensive telephone interview is a blessing - and you are three steps ahead to fun as opposed to other sites. The parties and functions are very classy and very sophisticated, as are the couples allowed on the site. Since we have been associated with BFBW we have, let's say ENJOYED the pleasure!!! Keep up the good work!
stephie0157 Couple 40/40
BeFun, BeWild is a great site. Everyone is individually validated, so there are no time wasters or fake profiles. Everyone that we have met from the site was well groomed, pleasant and very attractive.
The site is really cool, easy to navigate and very functional. We highly recommend this site as we have found it to be very classy with higher standards than other websites that we used and swingers clubs that we have been to.
crux32 Couple 34/36
We really liked the personal vetting procedure.
It is the only sexy dating site and swinger club among all the other swingers club and dating site that personally do an extensive telephone interview before they will accept your membership application.
It's nice to know that there's no possibility of fake profiles. We don't have profiles on other sites anymore because of all the time wasters and single males posing as couples we came across on them.
We also like the fact that pictures are mandatory on this site. We find that makes it easier to find couples that we're attracted to. It's a fantastic idea that every member can set up their own personal group. The Nudist Beach, 4WD groups, Girls night out, BDSM etc. are great ideas to get people outdoors and having a social life.
Although we haven't managed to get to one yet, we think the Inferno Party idea is great. We've tried clubs in the city before, but have stopped going because it's too hit 'n miss. Your parties really take the guess work out of a night and give everyone a chance to meet the other couples online first.
In this day and age when we all lead such busy lives, these features really make it easier to connect with the right couples sooner. We've met some really great couples in the year we've been part of the site. Thanks for all your hard work.

I have just started using this website the last few days, a couple referred me and what a breath of fresh air, it's about time that someone came up with this idea to set up some standards, love the idea that they call people to check them out, well done and thanks for letting me be a part of it, I will definitely let my "naughty" friends know about it.
rachelicious Single 32
We have recently joined BeFun, BeWild. We are also a member of a number of other dating sites. We have found this site to be quite different. Because of the strict vetting process from the administrators it ensures people on the site are genuine and are who they say they are. Unlike other sites we want to respond to every message received since it feels like a much more intimate and sincere community on BeFun, BeWild.
We are new to the lifestyle and are looking forward to not only having some sexual fun but to make some acquaintances / friendships with like minded people. We believe friendships built on honesty without the taboos of sexual tension will be open, rewarding and long lasting. We believe that we have a greater probability of fulfilling that desire on BeFun, BeWild than anywhere else, and in the process have a great time searching and playing.
Thank you for what you have done here with BeFun, BeWild.
tallnaughtynice Couple 38/37
For those of you that want to explore the sexier side of the couples scene... don't miss joining BFBW , where the members are REAL, and administration actually cares about your time and experience there.
Curious_cupl Couple 33/31
We have been part of this wonderful Wild network for around three years now. Firstly the hosts are pleasant, fun and amicable people - which is how we met them originally in a social environment.
We have always been impressed that everyone we have met through them has been through the personal interview and personal chat process, and we have met some attractive, decent, non-pushy, relaxed people at the well organised parties at exclusive locations.
We have observed over and over their genuine and generous concern for the enjoyment and welfare of attendees. The website is easy to navigate and has more options for chat and meeting other couples than we ever have time to explore.
This group seems to have a good a balance between social and sexual play unlike other sites which are solely profit orientated, with less to offer members who are new or curious.

Caregivers provide services and assistance to individuals who are too ill or injured to care for themselves. Many times, that person is referred to as a "loved one" because he/she most often is a family member: spouse, parent, partner, child or sibling. However, the term "caregiver" is universal and includes anyone for whom a caregiver provides care, comfort, support and other services – directly or indirectly.
Caregiving is often a full-time job – if not physically, then certainly psychologically and emotionally. Individuals who assume the responsibility of caring for another person are most successful when they:

N.Y. Mets 11, Atlanta 1
Jose Reyes hit two triples and drove in four runs, and Oliver Perez tossed seven strong innings to lead the New York Mets past the Atlanta Braves 11-1 Friday night.
The Mets are 4-0 for the first time since 1985, when they opened the season with five straight wins for their best start ever. New York can match that start by beating the Braves on Saturday.
The Mets won their first four games, including three against St. Louis, by a combined margin of 31-3. They scored six runs in the eighth against the Braves to turn the game into a rout.
Atlanta suffered its first loss after sweeping three games at Philadelphia.
Perez (1-0) continued the Mets' season-opening string of terrific starting pitching. He gave up only five hits and one run and did not walk a batter. He struck out six.
Perez gave up Jeff Francoeur's first homer to lead off the fourth inning but otherwise wasn't threatened.
Perez, 0-7 in road games for the Pirates and Mets last season, won on the road for the first time since Sept. 24, 2005, when he earned the victory for Pittsburgh in an 8-3 win at Los Angeles.
Perez was 3-13 with a 6.58 ERA for the Mets and Pirates last season. The left-hander won the No. 4 spot in the New York rotation by posting a 2-3 spring record with a 3.51 ERA.
Reyes led the majors in triples with 17 each of the last two seasons. He led off the game with his first triple to center off Mark Redman, and scored on Paul Lo Duca's fly ball to left field.
Redman (0-1) made his first start for Atlanta after signing with the team in spring training. He gave up nine hits and five runs in 5 2-3 innings.
David Wright doubled and scored on Shawn Green's one-out single in the sixth, and Reyes added a two-run triple. Reyes and Carlos Delgado had two-run singles in the eighth as the Mets took an 11-1 lead.
Reyes hit two triples in a game for the third time in his career and the first time since May 26, 2005, against Florida.
Philadelphia 8, Florida 2
Pat Burrell and Jimmy Rollins homered to support Jamie Moyer in Philadelphia's first win of the season, an 8-2 pounding of Florida.
Burrell hit a three-run blast and an RBI single as the Phillies bounced back from a three-game sweep by Atlanta. Rollins belted a two-run shot for the Phils, who scored four unearned runs thanks to two Marlins errors.
Moyer limited the Marlins to two runs and seven hits over six and two-thirds to get the win. He outpitched loser Sergio Mitre, who was tagged for five runs, one earned, and six hits in five frames.
Hanley Ramirez homered for the Marlins, who are 0-2 since winning their first two games.
Arizona 7, Washington 1
Micah Owings and Chris Young were the stars in Arizona's 7-1 rout of Washington.
Owings allowed one hit over five shutout innings to earn the victory in his big league debut. Felipe Lopez had the lone hit off Owings, a single with two outs in the third.
He was supported by Young, who homered and had four RBIs in the Diamondbacks' second straight win.
Losing pitcher Jerome Williams retired the first ten batters he faced before faltering. He surrendered four earned runs and six hits in six innings.
The Nationals have trailed by at least four runs in each of their first five games, going 1-4 to open the season.

If you plan to get this phone and don't have or want to spend time going to the tmobile store or on the phone with an employee DONT get it.
I got this phone for my birthday and it's been nothing but a pain since then. It doesn't read any memory cards now and when it did read them
it would delete my pictures automatically. The phone over heats BADLY and also randomly even when it's not being used. The Cliq2 freezes, turns on and off randomly and also, it charges for roaming every month after being set to no roaming. I take good care of it but if it still has this many problems its NOT worth it!
Hi alexw,
With you having multiple issues, we recommend you do a master reset. This will clear out any issue that you are having with your phone. As far as roaming, your account is only charged roaming if you have used your phone outside of the United States. If you plan on traveling out of the country, or would like to disable data roaming, you do have that option within your phone's settings.

Over the past 18 months I've taken Enbrel and MTX for moderately severe RA. I've gained 20lbs in that time, despite regular exercise and no junk food. What's going on?READ MORE
Does Enbrel cause weight gain?
Probably just that you are healthier than you used to be. Personally, I've noticed that when my RA's active, I get nauseated and lose weight, but when the meds are working, I eat better and gain some weight. I'd recommend you see your doctor and ask them questions about your weight gain - 20 pounds isn't much in 18 months, so it's entirely possible that you are at a healthy weight. Keep in mind that our culture tends to value an unhealthy level of skinny, which means that people, especially women, tend to set a weight goal that isn't normal for their body and therefore hard to maintain. If your doctor tell you that you have no reasons to worry, enjoy your curves as a positive thing -that I said above, they may mean that you are healthier than you used to be when your RA was active.
I just finished reading a site that had over 50 people saying that they all have gained weight, escepically around their waist while taking methotrexate. I have gained almost 24 pounds and do nothing different, I thought it was menopasue but now I think it is the mtx.
I take the injectable and it is killing my stomach now and bad GERD very painful. i also take enbrel, but enbrel by itself is not enough. i was told to start remicade, but I read it also causes weight gain, I need to lose eigth and if I keep taking meds that cause weight gain that will not help me as I am getting mroe over weight and it is harder on your joints,
Anyone have any RA drugs they take that don't make them gain weight?

When I was on Enbrel, I lost so much weight I had no body fat left, not even on my stomach where even most really athletic women still have a bit of pudge. I looked ike I was anorexic. Over the two years I was on Enbrel, I talked to several people about it and heard many, many stories of people losing a lot of weight on it.
How a medication affects you varies from person to person. What may play a role in someone's weight gain will have no effect on someone else or may even be a factor in them losing weight, so it's impossible to say how you'll react on any specific medication. As well, other factors may play a role - for instance, you mentioned you are menopausal, a period of life where every woman I have ever met gains more weight around the middle. When you enter menopause it changes how your body works and how your body looks.
That said, if you're having bad stomach related side effects, obviously something needs to done. Has your doctor given you a prescription for a stomach medication like Pantoloc or Nexium? Many people with RA find such meds very helpful in managing GERD that can be aggravated by RA meds. you may also want to check out my post on managing side effects for more tips on how to get your stomach to simmer down.
It's a bit of a Catch-22. Without the meds, the RA will damage your joints and that can impair your mobility in the future. I'd recommend that you discuss the issue with your rheumatologist and perhaps ask for a referral for some physical therapy to develop an exercise program that can help you stay fit while protecting your joints.
I have been taking Enbrel for 6 weeks for my Psoriatic Arthritis and noticed that I have gained weight or bloat or fleshiness.... whatever it is I don't like it. I should mention that I spin three days a week and walk three miles on the other days and I don't eat carbs, fat, or junk. Yes, it's mostly in the middle and I have been so fatigued I can't get through my day productively. So I googled gain weight from Enbrel and found your post like many others and then looked it up on Enbrel. Well, I immidiately emailed my doctor to tell her that Enbrel causes weight gain and fatigue and these are deal breakers for me so I will not be taking it anymore.READ MORE

VSNL and Tata Teleservices Build First Nationwide Intelligent Optical Mesh Network in India Using Ciena's CoreDirector
Self-healing network featuring automated provisioning maximizes network reliability and accelerates time-to-market to capitalize on India's high-growth telecom services market
Linthicum, MD — 10/23/2007
Ciena® Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN), the network specialist, today announced that VSNL, a leading communications solutions provider and member of the US $29 billion Tata Group, has deployed Ciena's CoreDirector® Multiservice Optical Switches to create the first nationwide intelligent optical mesh network in India. Fully operational today with live customer traffic, the new network enables VSNL to offer its customers maximum network reliability and service agility using automated service restoration and provisioning. The new network will also be used by Tata Teleservices (TTSL), one of India's premier mobile and fixed service providers.
As a leading international communications provider in one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the world, where teledensity is expected to more than double by the end of 2008*, VSNL's new backbone network features a fully-meshed architecture throughout India. The mesh design enables the network to survive multiple failures caused by either natural disasters or man-made issues, such as accidental fiber cuts. Based on CoreDirector's industry-leading, standards-based control plane, VSNL's mesh network automatically routes traffic around network failures based on its real-time knowledge of the network's available bandwidth and ability to find the best alternate routes. Based on this network intelligence, Ciena's CoreDirector restores traffic within milliseconds, instead of the hours or days typically involved in manual restorations.
"By delivering the first, true nationwide mesh network in India, we are offering our customers the industry's highest level of reliability to support their mission-critical traffic," said Matthew Ma, vice president, Ethernet and Transmission Engineering, VSNL. "More importantly, based on the intelligent, automated provisioning and multiservice capabilities of the network, we can quickly address customer requests for increased speeds or new services with the simplicity of remote, point-and-click provisioning. Overall, this architecture enables us to deliver better overall customer service in a telecom market that is expected to grow more than 20 percent by 2009.**"
VSNL already has extensive experience with mesh networking based on existing CoreDirector deployments throughout its global network, and is now leveraging that experience and technology to deliver the same benefits to its customers throughout India. By interconnecting the new CoreDirector-based network in India with the existing network, VSNL now has the ability to offer its customers the benefits of a truly global, mesh-based network.
"Ciena is pleased to be a strategic partner of VSNL as it deploys a critical core infrastructure throughout India that combines the scalability, performance and reliability needed to deliver communications services to help support the country's rapid telecom growth," said Mike Aquino, senior vice president of worldwide sales, Ciena. "This expansion of our business relationship with VSNL, along with our growing presence in India, highlights Ciena's continued commitment to serving this fast-growing economy as the network specialist."
A key element of Ciena's FlexSelect Architecture and the global market leader in optical switching, CoreDirector is a multiservice, multiprotocol optical switching system that consolidates the functionality of a multiservice provisioning platform, digital cross-connect and Ethernet switch into a single, high-capacity intelligent switching system that not only improves network reliability but also can reduce network operator capex by as much as 65 percent and opex by as much as 85 percent. The embedded intelligence of CoreDirector's FlexSelect OS standards-based optical control plane provides 99.9999 percent reliability and real-time resource inventory discovery, databases synchronization, intelligent mapping of service requests to network resources and fully automated activation and deactivation of network resources.
Ciena is the network specialist. We collaborate with customers worldwide to unlock the strategic potential of their networks and fundamentally change the way they compete. With focused innovation, Ciena brings together the reliability and capacity of optical networking with the flexibility and economics of Ethernet, unified by a software suite that delivers the industry's leading network automation.

Debt relief can be construed as any option that allows you to lessen the burdens. Everyone has a little bit of debt because they want to or because they are unable to pay for everything right away. One of the most common debts for people is a mortgage. Getting into a mortgage can seem like a great thing because it means you are buying a home and you will eventually own it outright. There are actually very few people who can purchase a home or anything else outright without incurring debt. Unfortunately, when debt becomes an issue there is a time when you need debt relief.
Out of control debts will always require some form of debt relief like debt consolidation. Consolidation is a process of putting all debts into one loan. There are going to be recompenses and shortcomings for this type of debt relief. You have to decide if the advantages outweigh any of the shortcomings consolidation can have. Below we will focus on the advantages first.
· Interest: you can save money on interest with consolidation. Rather than have two or more loans with an interest rate of over 5 percent you will have one loan with an interest rate. With simple math you can definitely tell if you have five loans at 5% and one loan at 6% the consolidation is a viable option.
· You can pay your debts down quicker with consolidation. This is due to the lower interest payment. You are paying more to the actual principle of the debt when you have one interest payment.
· Most consolidation makes it possible for you to lower your monthly payment in the event that your current debts are too much to handle. If you have one loan with a monthly minimum owed of $400 versus five loans with a total of $600 you have already saved $200 a month. You could potentially pay the extra funds to the debt consolidation loan in order to pay the debts off quicker too.
· Consolidation can be combined with other debt relief such as lowering the overall debts. A company can negotiate your debts down so that you do not owe the full amount and then tie up the rest that you do owe in a debt consolidation loan.
Recompenses and Shortcomings of Debt Consolidation
Like any product you will find available there will be shortcomings. Debt consolidation does have a few. Consolidation requires you to be in a specific scenario before you can be helped. It also requires that you have some type of agreement where you promise to pay a certain amount. In other words, if you have great credit and can manage your debts without collectors bothering you, you may feel that debt consolidation is not for you. You can always get a loan to pay off the debts thereby combining them in one loan, but traditionally debt consolidation is for those who are struggling and need debt management.
Living in a pit of financial crisis is extremely daunting. You can find your own self falling from one debt to another just to settle your daily living expenses. With the help of these debt consolidation companies, you can get all of your financial burdens disappear and live a debt free life.

Although the unflattering flight-attendant-style uniforms of the staff might suggest otherwise, the luxurious One Aldwych seems intent on proving that hotel lobby bars don't have to resemble airport lounges. It's hard not to be wowed by the soaring space, with its triffid-sized flower arrangements, elegant pillars and ceiling-height windows; but the majesty of the room is lent intimacy by high-backed armchairs, comfortable sofas and shimmering candles.
Staff at the sleek black bar dispense a selection of expertly mixed cocktails – starting at £12.50, or £14.50 for champagne varieties – from a seasonal list that might include an aromatic Olor Del Mar (Gin Mare, basil infused white vermouth, basil syrup, violet liqueur and lemon bitters). On our last visit, we were served house champagne instead of the requested Louis Roederer, but service is otherwise slick and friendly.

Post subject: Folic Acid
Hi there, quick question about folic acid.
I am in France, due to return to Britain on April 8th. I found out I'm pregnant yesterday (whoohoo) but I can only purchase 5mg tablets of folic acid. All of the information I have read reccommends 4mg of foloic acid per day for the first 12 weeks. Will it do my baby any harm if I take 5mg per day?
Really worried about what's best to do cos this is my first pregnancy and all of my family and fiance are in Britain! Please help .... )

Post subject: Folic acid
HI! My uncle is a GP in France and he says this is the normal dose they have in France. I don't think it will be a problem for you and if you're worried maybe you could take one tablet every 2 days until you get home. Nobody had it in the old days and babies still turned out just fine! My uncle says you should be fine though. All the best, Marien

Hi Marien,
Thank you so much for your advice on folic acid, it's really helpful and very kind of you to respond. I don't think I'd be so worried if I had my fiance or family here with me. I can't wait to see my fiance on saturday! )
Take care, love Jo x

- Congressional/Advocacy Update. Several of the industries' top players will share the very latest news and information regarding legislative initiatives that could prove to be game changers for the water industry, including the proposed Water Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Authority and efforts within Congress to remove volume caps for tax-exempt private activity bonds for water and wastewater infrastructure.
