Are all men like that?

That was the question posed to me by a secretary in my office the other day.

She had gotten a new haircut recently, which I snapped a couple of pics with her cell phone so she could send them to her daughter. She?s also lost some weight recently, & takes pretty good care of herself.
The problem was that her husband thought that maybe she had done all of that because she was seeing someone on the side!
And T is definitely not the kind of woman, though just about every man I know looks at her wishing she was, if ya know what I mean.

Oh, well; hopefully with a weekend to get over it, her man will feel self-assured again, & just be happy to have such a hot wife!

Pakistan quake victims still living in Shelters

If you want them to quit supporting the Taliban, help the people of Pakistan recover from this earthquake that happened almost one year ago.
That would certainly be money better spent than sending our brothers & sisters to Iraq to be killed on the streets in a Liar's War.

Nearly two million Pakistan quake victims at risk from winter: Oxfam
At least 1.8 million survivors of last year's massive earthquake in Pakistan are to spend a second harsh Himalayan winter in makeshift shelters, aid agency Oxfam has said.
The 7.6-magnitude quake on October 8, 2005 killed more than 74,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless. Aid agencies say they prevented deaths from disease and cold last winter but fear for survivors this time around.
"With snow already falling, this winter seems to have arrived early," said Farhana Faruqi Stocker of Oxfam International on Wednesday.
Only 17 percent of people living in the 450,000 households destroyed or severely damaged by the quake have started building permanent homes, Oxfam said, quoting government estimates.

Creative debt consolidation

Man hands over wife to pay debt
A Romanian man has handed over his wife to a creditor as payment for his debts.
Emil Iancu, from tIghisu Nou, gave his wife Daniela to 72-year-old Jozef Justien Lostrie when he turned up on his doorstep to collect a £1,800 debt.
Iancu said: "I had no money to pay the debt and when I told Lostrie he said he would take my wife instead.
"I was scared of what he would do and so I signed a document saying Daniela would live with him."
But Daniela says the deal has proved better for her.
"Before I had to clean the house and look after our three children on my own, while Emil did nothing, but now I'm treated like a guest and hardly have to raise a finger," she said.
