"No petites please"

Millionare taking wife applications!!

Gold-diggerory has reached an all-time high. It use to be that the woman had to cleverly seduce an established and extremely financially secure gentleman enough to get him to add her name to some paperwork but now, the millionare moguls are wishing this upon themselves.

The only catch was that the women needed to be 5'6 and over.
Hmm. I'm still in the running. . .

"Paid for lack of perfomance"

Man sues neighbor for failing to get his wife pregnant!

Oh, how I love a good scandal.

At first, I thought this story was just unfortunate because this sterile guy paid another unaware sterile guy to impregnate his wife and allowed them to repeatedly hook up for months - but then it just got better and better. This is the stuff good neighborhood drama is made of, I tell ya.

A GERMAN man is sueing his neighbor after he failed to get his wife pregnant.

Demetrius Soupolos, 29, from Stuttgart, Germany, paid his neighbour to have sex with his wife so that she would fall pregnant.

But after several months and no pregnancy the neighbor went for a test and was also found to be sterile.

Now Demetrius is sueing to get a refund." [Source]

However, what they didn't mention (which I discovered through very clever further investigation because this just wasn't making sense) was that the neighbor who was paid to repeatedly sleep with Demetrius' wife for about six months found out he was sterile after Demetrius demanded he see a doctor. Of course this didn't make sense said neighbor was married with children. . .

. . .How'd that happen? Well, his two children weren't his and his wife was force to confess to it after he started questioning how he could possibly shoot blanks but still have two kids running around. Tsk, tsk.

All this drama because he needed $2,500. If everyone would have just kept minding their own business this would have never happened.

"I scream, you scream"

Woman fined for EXTREMELY loud sex!
Overdoing it, for real.

I don't know that there's any kind of sex out there that will have you screaming out in other languages, tongues, and dialects and willing to pay close to $1,000 just to do so. Just for screaming though? Come on now.

SUNDERLAND , England, April 18 (UPI) — A 47-year-old Englishwoman has been convicted of flouting a city order to keep her love-making sessions quiet, officials said.

The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday that Caroline Cartwright, 47, was found guilty of breaching a noise abatement notice served on her after police received 25 complaints about her loud sessions with husband Steve.

She was fined more than $760, The Sun reported.

“I am not making the noise on purpose,” she told magistrates in Sunderland. “I have no desire to hurt anybody or damage any property.”

One neighbor reportedly said she had not gotten a decent night’s sleep for two years because of the Cartwrights. Another neighbor said she was forced to move out because of the noise, the Telegraph reported." [Source]

Disrespectful neighbors. I mean, it's fine if you wanna get yours in the comfort of your own home but when it's seriously interfering with numerous people's sleep patterns perhaps it's time to tone it down. I'm not hating, I'm just saying.
& don't worry, the lady insists it was worth the money.

"What a nice surprise"

Mich. man helps deliver wife's surprise baby !!

So, I don't believe it.

A western Michigan man helped deliver his wife's baby boy despite not knowing she was pregnant. The Grand Rapids Press reported the man called 911 early Thursday as his wife was in labor. The man told the dispatcher that he had not known his 27-year-old wife was pregnant. He said they recently quit smoking and thought her recent weight gain was related.

The couple has two children, and the mother has an additional child from a previous relationship.

Following the successful delivery, the dispatcher talked the man through post-birth procedures. The child was taken to a local hospital." [Source]

So you thought the major weight gain was because she quit smoking? I mean, I guess. I know there are different reasons to not realize you're pregnant for a while but not finding out until the kids' already halfway out? That's just downright negligent on her part.



It could happen to anyone, right? Props to him for delivering the baby boy instead of just remaining in a state of shock about the pregnancy like I probably would have.

"Sure you can have my husband's face"

Wife of Boston Face Transplant Donor Says Husband Appreciated 'Value of Life'
BROOKLINE, Mass. — The wife of a Massachusetts man whose tissue was donated for the nation's second face transplant said her husband told her before heart transplant surgery that he wanted to donate his organs if he didn't survive the operation.

Susan Whitman told The Boston Globe for a story in Wednesday's editions that she was surprised, however, when organ bank officials asked if she would approve of the donation of Joseph Helfgot's face.

"It's easy to sign up and say you are an organ donor," Whitman said. "It's another to have your family understand and facilitate that. It's painful and it takes strength and a will to do it." [Source- Fox]

That is some kind of wonderful =]

I thought this was interesting because my initial, uninformed thought was that some other man would literally be walking around wearing her husband's face. . .and well, that just didn't sit too well with me. But common sense should have told me that bone structure plays a major role in facial re-construction and so while he'll have his lips, nose, facial skin, muscles, etc, he won't look anything like him.

& when you think of being an organ donor you're thinking of giving up a kidney or lung or some other vital organ, right? Think again.

"Gun control gone wrong"

Soldier Shot, Killed While Teaching Wife Gun Safety

OLYMPIA — A Fort Lewis soldier is dead after being accidentally shot in the head and killed by his wife in Olympiam the Thurston County Sheriff's Office says." [Source- Seattle Times]

This woman "claims" her husband, a Fort Lewis soldier who probably has a somewhat extensive background in gun usage, was accidentally shot while trying to teach her how to correctly use a gun. Apparently he decided to teach her how to shoot around 1:30 in the morning and she was holding it when she unintentionally shot him right between the eyes.

Um. What?

I've heard of some freak, ironic accidents and I'm a big fan of the series Dead Like Me because of its malicious humor but come on now. Who is she trying to fool here? As of right now authorities have not named her as a suspect but with the investigation pending I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Then again, everyone's innocent until proven guilty - so what do I know?

I'm just sayin'. . .

"Backlash for spreading seeds"

Man jailed for dodging child support for 14 kids

Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 different women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support.

The Flint Journal reports 42-year-old Thomas Frazier was jailed Thursday. Court records say he hasn't made a support payment in six years.

The newspaper says the unemployed man could be held for 90 days if he doesn't pay $27,900.
Frazier says he thinks he fathered only three of the children and that it's unrealistic for authorities to expect him to pay child support that was $3,000 a month at one point." [Source- AP News]

Ugh.

I have no words. Just take him off to jail. You have 13 women claiming you're the father of their 14 children and you're not a celebrity or anything? It's not like you're loaded. . .you know you're the baby daddy. At this point (now that six years have passed) I think these women are secure with the fact that money from this man is just not an option, and his punishment should be jail time.

And a MAJOR deduction from any check he earns from now until the cows come home.

"If you blinked, you missed it."

Is love at first sight real?

Everyone has their own thoughts about that and I for one think that lust at first sight is the only think you can count on. Pure, unadulterated physical attraction -- you can get that from looking at someone one time, but not love. Ideally it would be lovely, but not in this world.


Love's such a strong emotion - like hate. Do you hate at first sight? Of course not. You might be turned off by someone initially, but you wouldn't conclude that you hated them until much later. After an experience, a bad memory - something. But that's just what I think. Some geneticists (because I love having scientific back up) have looked into the idea of "love at first sight". . .

According to a study published in the April 2009 issue of the journal Genetics, a team of scientists from the United States and Australia discovered that at the genetic level, some males and females are more compatible than others, and that this compatibility plays an important role in mate selection, mating outcomes, and future reproductive behaviors. " [Source]

The article concluded (after examining the behaviors of fruit flies toward their mating partners) that the female flies in particular cared about the character of their counterpart. In other words, they were attracted to them at first sight and strong feelings were involved that quickly. Hmm. . .it would be the females who would screw up my hypothesis. Read more here.

"Catch a falling lover"

Man dies trying to catch suicidal girlfriend as she jumps from 7th floor

I understand the intent, I do, but come on, Wang. . .
A Chinese man was killed last week after trying to catch his suicidal girlfriend as she jumped from the seventh floor of their Quanzhou apartment building in south-eastern China.

The young man, only identified as Wang, tried to break the woman’s fall by holding out his arms, witnesses said. He was killed by the impact of her body landing on top of him, according to Perth Now.

His girlfriend survived the fall, suffering only from bone fractures and other injuries. She was not in critical condition and expected to make a full recovery." [Source]

I know it happened in China, but I could definitely see someone exercising this type of nonsensical behavior here in the US. I always side with the victim, so I'm furious at the fact that the suicidal girlfriend is expected to make a full recovery while Wang is six-feet-under for being her human fall breaker. Ain't that about a b*tch?

I'm sure now more than ever that she's ready to make a second attempt at that jump.

What would you do if you saw someone you loved hurdling towards the sidewalk? I'll be honest -- I'd probably have a panic attack and start crying on the spot. Even with a hysterical flowing of tears I'd still know I can't catch them and live. Not even a little bit.

"I love you, but. . ."

Boyfriend freaks out on his girl -- pours chili on her head!!

STUART — A man accused of pouring chili on his girlfriend and ripping off her bra following an argument involving television watching is facing charges, according to a Martin County Sheriff’s Office report released Friday.

The 26-year-old victim told investigators her boyfriend, with whom she has two children and is nine weeks pregnant, came home Thursday evening and wanted to watch TV in their bedroom.

Boyfriend Edd M. Johnson, 21, is accused of kicking the TV and breaking it after she asked that he watch TV in the other room of the residence in the 2900 block of Southeast Delmar Street.
The victim went to slice the power cord of the other TV with scissors when police said Johnson grabbed her neck and pulled her away.

The victim called her sister, who called the sheriff’s office. She grabbed her kids and got in her vehicle when Johnson came out with a can of chili."

This is an OHNawllian story, as you can expect. Just wanted to notify you all to watch out for the above man [who looks way closer to 40 than 21. They might need to check that], and keep your distance. Throwing chili on people all willy nilly over television. . .shame, shame.

& then, in true Chris Brownian fashion, he had the nerve to tell police he should have "whooped her a**." Because that's exactly what they wanted to hear. *rolls eyes*

"Naked for nuggets"

Pimp team pay prostitute with nuggets!!

Ronald Vikash Gander, 27, and his 16-year-old girlfriend devised a plan to prostitute a teenage girl so they could afford the weekly $1,050 rent on a serviced inner-Brisbane apartment, the Brisbane District Court was told.

The court was told the girl made $4,500 for having sex with five middle-aged men in June last year.Gander and his girlfriend used the money for living expenses and paid the girl nothing except for the occasional box of chicken nuggets.

The court was told Gander's girlfriend - who cannot be named - threatened the student, who had run away from home, with eviction if she didn't continue having sex with clients to earn her keep." [Source]

So this needs to stop.

I don't hate the player - I hate the game, so I'm not mad at the pimp for paying her with nuggets but rather her for accepting. The whole thing is ludicrous. This man who is damn near 30 teamed up with his underaged girlfriend to pimp her underage classmate and didn't even have the decency to pay her with actual cash. Not that anything I ever post on here is decent, but still. . .
. . .you see my point.

"More to love"

New Dating Reality Show Looking to Cats Overweight Contestants!!

Average Joes and Janes will get to pursue their shot at love with the launch of the new dating-competition series developed by FOX called “More to Love.”

The show has been billed as a dating show “for the rest of us,” and will feature overweight contestants.

FOX will be teaming up with producer Mike Fleiss (known for his work on "The Bachelor"). The show will feature a group of women competing for the love of one man, whom producers describe as a Kevin James-type (James was the star of “The King of Queens.”)

"For six years it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like," Fox president of alternative Mike Darnell said. "Why don't real women — the women who watch these shows, for the most part — have a chance to find love too?" [Source- Fox]

Um, I don't like how they're insinuating that the rest of us - the ones who happen to find their guilty pleasure is reality TV - are overweight and even want to partake in the f*ckery. However, I'm sure they'll find people who want their shine and will end up on the show and then milk it for all it was worth just to end up on another.

A reality dating show for real people this time. Imagine that. And it's true that the people featured on reality shows are nothing like what the dating world is. Reality TV can never hope to really be realistic if someone's heart is involved.

"Dear wife of a trifiling man,"

Cops snitching to the wives of prostitute clients!

Stop snitching? I think not.

Soon wives could receive letters from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department letting them know when their husbands are arrested for soliciting prostitutes.

“I don’t think it’s people’s right to do that. I really don’t,” said Trishanne LaFreniere, a woman who opposes the letter.

“She has the right to know,” said Laurie Thuma, who likes the idea of alerting wives. “This impacts her on many levels, including her health.”

Even the men in Escambia County can’t seem to agree whether or not the letter is a good idea.

“This letter’s making you guilty before you get your day in court,” emphasized Jeff Hughes. “You need therapy. You need help. You don’t need to be lambasted by your wife.”[Source]


I don't know about you, but from what I've seen [okay, read] when you're eager to enjoy the company of hookers usually you're also not willing to admit to it - and you're definitely not going to tell your wife/girlfriend. Come on now. Of course some men are arguing that this "snitching" from the police isn't giving them a fair trial with their wife and making them guilty before proven innocent. . .

. . .They must not have read the memo that said with relationships you're always guilty until proven innocent. It's sad, some say you have trust issues but the fact still remains that this isn't the United States Justice system - this is real life. If you can survive being accused of soliciting sexual favors then maybe I'll be quiet, but until then the woman has the right to know if you're coming home with a smile on your face but sharing chlamydia with her.

"Handcuffs & more love biting"

Wife handcuffs herself to husband (& allegedly bit him)!!

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Police in Connecticut say a woman attempting to reconcile with her husband handcuffed herself to him as he slept and then bit him on his torso and arms.

Police say 37-year-old Helen Sun told them she wanted to have a conversation with husband Robert Drawbough without him leaving. Police say she changed the locks on their bedroom and handcuffed herself to Drawbough while he was sleeping Monday.

Drawbough used a cell phone to call police. Officers heard his screams when they arrived at the couple's Fairfield home. He was treated at a local hospital." [Source- MSNBC]

Reconciling is highly unlikely after you've tried to bite off a chunk of my skin, but maybe that's just me. This might have just been a little playful matter between lovers that her punk of a husband wasn't prepared for. However, them hearing his "screams" must have meant she was seriously going in on her bondage exploit.


They slapped her with a bunch of charges (third-degree assault, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment, unlawful restraint). Next time she tries to reconcile with him she should consider something a little more, well, legal.

"The consequence of love biting"

Man strangles woman over a hickey -- yes, a HICKEY.

But don't fret, she's still alive.

Police responded to complaints about a disturbance at a Sheboygan apartment around 8:30 p.m. Friday and found the victim with dried blood on her lip and scratches around her neck.

She told police Jerome M. Lucious Jr. of Sheboygan strangled her with both hands and threatened to kill her after she questioned him about a hickey on his neck and slapped him.

Lucious admitted that he threw the victim against the wall Friday and put his hands around her throat after she slapped him, according to The Sheboygan Press. "

Now before I read the story I thought that this fool attacked her for leaving a hickey on him -- I was thinking she was the other woman and he didn't want his main one to find out. Then I read on and see that the reasoning behind his madness is much, much lamer. All she did was ask about the miniature neck bruise and homie went apeshit. It saddens me.

There goes another 21-year-old who had a world of opportunity waiting for him. . .

*cough* okay, maybe not. He was actually a repeat offender and is now facing seven years in prison and three years on probation. Tsk, tsk. If I'm getting strangled for asking about a hickey then I'm sorry, I guess we're both dying that night because there's no way. . .& the truly disturbing part of this is that there's a good chance the victim will go back to him.

"How far is too far for a friend"?

Ohio Man Kills Self After Realizing He Ran Over Friend!

So that was completely uncalled for on so many levels.

SAGAMORE HILLS, Ohio — An Ohio man fatally shot himself in the head moments after realizing he had run over a friend, who also died, police said.

Summit County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Cottle said witnesses saw Erich Schultz and Stacy DiJulius arguing Saturday night in a parking lot after both had been drinking at a bar in Sagamore Hills, about 20 miles south of Cleveland.

Schultz, 38, tried to drive away in his Jeep, but DiJulius attempted to get into the vehicle as it moved and fell under one of the tires, Cottle said. He added that it appeared Schultz accidentally ran over DiJulius and that he felt so bad about it he then took out a gun and shot himself." [Source- Fox News]

The woman died at the hospital, and the "suicide victim" was pronounced dead later as well. What boggles my mind is how authorities just assume he killed himself because he accidentally ran her over. There are some missing pieces here, but from what I understand drinking + arguing in a parking lot ='s the recipe for some bad decisions.

Nevertheless, plotholes or not - you heard it from me. If he in fact did shoot himself in the head because of an immediate wave of guilt I know he is kicking himself looking down on this. . .or up at it. Whichever works.

"Obamas Philosophy on love"

Five Lessons we can learn from the Obamas

I'm all for entertaining news that allows us to sit back and be glad that we're not the ones featured on this blog, but every once and a while I like to throw in some optimism. I also have an unhealthy infatuation with the Obamas and thriving black love. So, for your reading enjoyment here's some dope philosophizing inspired by the one, the only. . .our President of the United States and his lady: Barack & Michelle Obama.

If I believe there's anyone out there who really is engaged in a healthy relationship while still being in the public eye, it's them. The Today show on MSNBC.com has a sex therapist who compiled a list that caught my eye and really made me sit back and admire them. I know we may not know a whole lot about their sex life/relationship, but there are some things you just can't fake when you've got America as a whole watching your every move.

Maintain a sense of surprise- “Sometimes, when we’re lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. . .," says Obama, "Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that’s it’s important that a partner continues to surprise the other." I think that's ridiculously adorable on so many levels and very true.

Show tenderness- Obama also spoke about how Michelle exhibits a certain level of vulnerability (Imagine that!). I never took Michelle for the vulnerable type, but I also don't think she wears the pants in the relationship. Not all the time, anyway.

Some other ones mentioned were opposites attracting, becoming friends and staying friends, and then my personal favorite: Being a relationship role model.

I honestly don't think they even realize how great of an example they're setting as a couple, color aside, by simply being themselves with each other at all times. They maintain eye contact with one another in interviews, joke like America's not watching, and their whole chemistry just flows naturally - whether the cameras are on or not. Check out videos/pictures where they were not prepped for the paparazzi to see what I mean.

Follow-up: "Cruelty to Elders."

Lady who got caught exercising husband to death finally getting sentenced!



Last month in Middlefield, Ohio I mentioned this 40 y/o transgendered woman trying to kill her 70-something-year-old husband by having him swim lap after lap in the pool for no particular reason. Now they believe that she was doing it so she could get his retirement benefits [of course].


Police say she forced James Mason, who had heart disease, to do stressful activity in an indoor pool for more than two hours. He collapsed and died the next day after Chris Mason authorized his removal from life support.

She is to be sentenced Friday and could get up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to reckless homicide."

Foxnews recently mentioned that after interviewing family members, their relationship didn't even seem to be romantic. From the history provided in the article I'm going to have to agree that they weren't exactly a match made in heaven.

The whole story is just kind of, well. . .cooky. For lack of a better word. Not that I don't cover other unusual stories, but this one just doesn't seem to be sitting well with me.

"I'm having problems with my other wife"

Man allegedly kept 2 wives in same complex!

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - Authorities said a 61-year-old man allegedly married to two women who lived in the same apartment complex faces bigamy and other felony charges.

The man was married his first wife 22 years ago. Court records said the second marriage occurred in January 2006. Both women are in their 50s.

Officials said police were called to the complex in November when the second wife went to the first wife's apartment to confront the man and found out he was married to someone else." [Source- MSN]

At 61-years-old you're awfully bold for marrying two women and keeping that mess going for 2 decades. The sad thing is that I don't even think this is an uncommon occurence. There are men out there with different families in different states - it's just that none of them were bold enough to use their deceased father's social security number.

I guess he was determined.

"Do-it-your-self Insemination"

Lesbian threatens to inseminate wife with brother’s sperm; faces charges

"An alleged Massachusetts lesbian has been charged with domestic assault and battery after she tried to artificially inseminate her wife with her brother’s semen.

Artificial insemination - Do not try this at home
Stephanie Lighten was “all liquored up” Tuesday, her wife, Jennifer Lighten, told Pittsfield police. Stephanie had been talking about trying to impregnate her for some time, she said.

When Stephanie came home around 4:30 p.m., she threw Jennifer on the couch and threatened to inseminate her with a large catheter-tipped syringe, according to the Berkshire Eagle.

A witness called police who arrested Stephanie at the scene. They retrieved the syringe in its original package and a container of semen. It was unclear how Stephanie obtained the semen from her brother. "[Source]

Obviously not one of their best ideas. I feel like she could have saved herself so much embarressment (whoever Stephanie Lighten is) by doing this the old-fashioned way. And no, I don't mean by actually finding a man to physically impregnant her wife. . .just by looking for a sperm donor.

Then again, with this recession I can't imagine paying for some extra test-tube-safe jizz being cheap, so doing if you feel like you can do it yourself - more power to ya.

"Oh, the irony"

Florida Man Wearing 'I Heart My Marriage' Shirt Arrested for Allegedly Choking Wife

Shirts are so misleading.

Bradley Gellert, 32, an Ameriprise financial consultant, was wearing a T-shirt bearing the phrase "I Heart My Marriage" when he was arrested on a charge of domestic battery by strangulation, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office." [Source- Foxified]
Gellert apparently threw a temper tantrum for reasons undisclosed before he tried to attack his wife. She's not dead, just really confused.

I have a shirt that I got last year saying "I love my boyfriend" around V-day, but since we broke up I wear it to clean/go to the gym. I clearly no longer love my boyfriend - but I do love the way that 100% cotton T-shirt feels. He might have been attached in the same kind of way. No?

"Blame it on the alcohol"

Floridian kills girlfriend over beer -- & then some!!

A Florida man confessed to killing his girlfriend during an argument over beer and then tried to have sex with her corpse.

Robert Conde, 41, told police he and Ruth Ann Trueblood were drinking together outdoors when she told him he couldn’t have more beer.

The Fort Lauderdale resident got so upset, he threw the defenseless 46-year-old woman on her back and punched her face until he knew she was dead.

Conde then took off her pants and tried to have sex with the body before covering it up and lying next to it." [Source- Miami Herald]

Ughhh.

Alrighty. I am sooo tired of the handful of alcholic songs T-Pain's technologically mixed voice has on every radio station, but the title seemed very fitting. Some man (aka Robert Conde) killed his girl over beer. . .because apparently it's so important. I bet he'll try to plead that he's an alcoholic and needs to get psychological treatment. He probably just threw in that necrophiliac move once he thought about how utterly stupid he would sound saying he killed the poor girl older lady over a Budweiser.

"When keeping it real goes wrong."

Extreme kinkyness leads to internal bleeding!!
Oh boy.

*crosses legs. TIGHTLY*

This one is sufficiently worst than the d-ck kabob story and hurt my heart a little bit because I made the mistake of mentally picturing the hilarity. Just a heads up - this happened to a real person, in a real place, and it's really sad that such idiotic people walk the earth. Perhaps there were drugs involved? Idk, man. . .

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. (WUSA) - A Southern Maryland woman was seriously injured in a mishap involving a sex toy over the weekend. The case was first reported on TheBayNet.com, and Saint Mary’s county public safety sources confirmed the information to 9NEWS NOW.

The accident was reported to local fire and rescue personnel about 1:30 a.m. on March 7, from an address on Rogers Drive. The man who made the 911 call said he had placed a sex toy over a saber saw blade, and then used the power tool on his partner, but the blade cut through the plastic and injured the woman.

The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was reportedly injured and bleeding. She was later flown to Prince George’s hospital center by Maryland State Police helicopter." [Source of all sources- OHN]

This is what happens when something that seems like ingenuity is actually just a really eff'd up idea of fun. I'm begging you all to take lessons from these sob stories and please try to cut down on the stupid. If it seems like a bad idea, it probably is.

"One plus to texting"

When Texting, Eligible Women Express Themselves Better

Believe it or not, the ridick news has slowed down for today, but I did find this interesting article on ScienceDaily about texting. I know I said texting would lead to nothing but trouble but that was moreso for the youth of America - now I'm talking to you singles and couples out there.

Indiana researchers have found that when men and women text message each other in a public, interactive dating market, it is the women who use more non-standard, expressive language techniques. . .

The study found women used more non-standard language such as abbreviations or expressive insertions that represented characteristics including enthusiasm, sadness, emphasis and individuality. And while women were both more economical and expressive, they also came closer to maxing out, or did max out, on the 160-character message limit more often than their male counterparts." [Source - Science Daily]

This is something that comes as no surprise to me. From personally texting I'll admit that it doesn't matter to me what the limit is - I need to fully express myself. Abbreviations and symbols do help but at the end of the day keeping it concise doesn't really matter to me.

"He wanted the ring, she wanted revenge"

Girl clocks ex boyfriend in the face when he asks for his ring!!

*Kill Bill music plays*

I hope it was a nice ring. . .

PORTSMOUTH — When Britta Osberg’s ex-boyfriend asked her to return a ring, she punched him in the face twice, leaving the ring’s imprint on his cheek, police allege.

Based on those allegations, Osberg, 19, of 110 Perkins Road, Rye, is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth District Court Monday on two class A misdemeanor counts of simple assault.

According to an affidavit by Officer Eric Kinsman, the alleged victim told police he went to a city gas station to retrieve the ring from Osberg, she refused to return it and they began to argue. During the argument, Osberg is alleged to have twice punched her ex in the face." [Source - Seacoast Online]

It always saddens me to see misunderstood women get arrested for assault charges. I don't know who started the argument, but Britta sure finished it. Now her ex is walkin' around with a nice little reminder of what once was - concaved face and all.

"Royals need love too"

Prince Charles' love letters on sale on eBay!!


A set of six love letters from Prince Charles has been put up for sale on eBay. To be clear: these aren't letters to either Camilla or Di, so who the heck are these love letters to?

While not named in the eBay auction itself, according to a report, the letters were written from Prince Charles to Montreal resident Janet Jenkins between 1976 and 1980.The letters have a starting bid of $30,000 and a Buy It Now price of $30,001. So far no takers."

I'm not surprised that there are no takers. According to this blog the starting bid is about $30,000. Who the heck has money like that to just be throwing away on some freakin' love letter? And who is Prince Charles, anyway??

. . .Okay, I take that last part back. I know who Prince Charles is, but these love letters still aren't worth my school's tuition.

The woman who actually gave up the love letters is 'embarressed', but I think she's just sour about not thinking of this get rich quick scheme herself.
