This is an interesting story : And you think lawyers don't have hearts. The best lawyer story of all time...bar none:
The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, 'Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?'
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, 'First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?'
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, 'Uh... no, I didn't know that.'
'Secondly,' says the lawyer, ' did it show that my broth er, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?
The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again.
'Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?'
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, 'I'm so sorry, I had no idea.'
And the lawyer says, 'So... if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost $499 or $599 depending on cup size. This has been hailed as a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them

Some people do know know how to put a photo in their profile, others might not have one, because they do not want friends, co workers, relatives..... or spouses to know they are on there. :-)
Ha Ha.... get the lamp an artist uses.... it is used to help with the winter blues. :-)
Ireland..... land of lots of sun???? Depends on which young ladies eyes you are looking into Kid.
With luck, eyes that know and I will hook up for a quick cuppa in Whitehorse. She is there at the moment, and I'm on my way there now. Leaving the my boyfriend in his 18 wheeler on a road trip. Even the pooch is coming along for the trip.
As for lots of sun, there is already snow up North and have a feeling some snow might be on the ground when I get back home.
TOKYO - Japanese police say a 43-year-old piano teacher's sudden divorce from her online husband in a virtual game world made her so angry that she logged on and killed his digital persona.
She used his identification and password to log onto the popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May.
A police official in the northern city of Sapporo on Thursday quoted the woman as saying that she was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning and that made her angry.
The official said the woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world.
She has not yet been formally charged, but if convicted could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.
Players in "Maple Story" raise and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters and other obstacles.
The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed the character.
The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.
Sometimes it is because they have not read the profile, (Scammers are the same), and some guys (gals), like to go for someone that is already taken. Some because they feel a person that is taken, is better than someone single, others like the game of taking away what belongs to someone else.
It happen all the time. (JMO) delete the messages with out sending a response usually works. If not block them from contacting you.
The parent that set boundaries etc, will make teenagers, or younger act up and treat you as the ex has shown them.
Stick with it, because it is worth it. I can almost guarantee 95%, they will respect you later when they are an adult.
I have seen it with friends kids, mine (now grown up), and the former foster kids that have grown up, and come back to visit my parents. They hated when they were younger, but appreciate it now.
Parenting is not easy, give yourselves credit for doing your best for your child, and what makes you feel better, (or is easiest).
