Yikes. Divorce for second marriage but not for BEATING & MISTREATING? There is something wrong there. [edit] Hold up. I read wrong - he married his THIRD wife? Meaning the lady in question is the second? Can I laugh here or is that mean?

^I know.

If anyone has a good excuse for a headache, that's her. Nevermind that, the exhausion of cooking & cleaning & taking care of more than one man? She must have superhuman powers.

Hours of fun!

Ha ha ha! Where did u see his underwear Lazygurl? Sir baa fakatey! Mr. Bob - it was meant for everyone. Everytime I express an opinion opposite from the person I'm talking to - I'm seen as judgemental. Well, sue me for being human!

Thank you for the correction self appointed English teacher of SOL. Ms. V - Don't be a liar.

God, I freakin hate it when someone says that! WE ARE ALL JUDGEMENTAL. THATS LIFE. GET OVER IT.

Knowing Ms. CC's style, this is probably a joke...but since we're all destined to become fat, ugly and crazy as we get older...make the journey interesting & marry someone you want/respect/care about & screw what other's think. I mean, you're going to be living with him & (hopefully) spending the rest of your life with him not them.

As long as it wasn't forced, who really gives a flip. Now, if she was was a family member or friend...I would give more than a flip. And that goes if the guy was 22 and the lady was 50. Honestly in ten years he/she would be 32 and the spouse would be 60. *insert hurling graemlin*

^ uhuh ;d

Kool Kat you might as well have all ur grey hairs at once.

^what naughty word did u say that was censored....oooh

um never mind...maybe it's not such a good visual image rokko...can't you read boy?

Hope you had someone with you Val. I'm wary of dentists since a couple of stories of them molesting their patients (when under general anesthesia) have been cropping up lately. But I guess you shouldn't worry about that anway. hehehe

U.S. and Iraqi soldiers provide medical care to boys discovered naked and abused in a Baghdad orphanage on June 10, 2007. Soldiers found 24 severely malnourished boys, some tied to their beds, in the orphanage, yet there was a room full of food and clothing nearby, in this photo given to CBS News. (CBS) It was a scene that shocked battle-hardened soldiers, captured in photographs obtained exclusively by CBS News. On a daytime patrol in central Baghdad just over than a week ago, a U.S. military advisory team and Iraqi soldiers happened to look over a wall and found something horrific. "They saw multiple bodies laying on the floor of the facility," Staff Sgt. Mitchell Gibson of the 82nd Airborne Division told CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan. "They thought they were all dead, so they threw a basketball (to) try and get some attention, and actually one of the kids lifted up their head, tilted it over and just looked and then went back down. And they said, 'oh, they're alive' and so they went into the building." Inside the building, a government-run orphanage for special needs children, the soldiers found more emaciated little bodies tied to the cribs. They had been kept this way for more than a month, according to the soldiers called in to rescue the 24 boys. "I saw children that you could see literally every bone in their body that were so skinny, they had no energy to move whatsoever, no expression on their face," Staff Sgt. Michael Beale said. "The kids were tied up, naked, covered in their own waste — feces — and there were three people that were cooking themselves food, but nothing for the kids," Lt. Stephen Duperre said. Logan asked: So there were three people cooking their own food? "They were in the kitchen, yes ma'am," Duperre said. With all these kids starving around them? "Yes ma'am," Duperre said. It didn't stop there. The soldiers found kitchen shelves packed with food and in the stockroom, rows of brand-new clothing still in their plastic wrapping. Instead of giving it to the boys, the soldiers believe it was being sold to local markets. The man in charge, the orphanage caretaker, had a well-kept office — a stark contrast to the terrible conditions just outside that room. "I got extremely angry with the caretaker when I got there," Capt. Benjamin Morales said. "It took every muscle in my body to restrain myself from not going after that guy." He has since disappeared and is believed to be on the run. But two security guards are in custody, arrested on the orders of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Two women also working there, who posed for pictures in front of the naked boys as if there was nothing wrong, have also disappeared. "My first thought when I walked in there was shock, and then I got a little angry that they were treating kids like that, then that's when everybody just started getting upset," Capt. Jim Cook said. "There were people crying. It was definitely a bad emotional scene." There was nothing more emotional than finding one boy who Army medics did not expect to survive. For Gibson, that was the hardest part: Seeing a boy who was at the orphanage, where Logan reported from, "with thousands of flies covering his body, unable to move any part of his body, you know we had to actually hold his head up and tilt his head to make sure that he was OK, and the only thing basically that was moving was his eyeballs," Gibson explained. "Flies in the mouth, in the eyes, in the nose, ears, eating all the open wounds from sleeping on the concrete." All that, and the boy was laying in the boiling sun — temperatures of 120 degrees or so, according to Gibson. Looking at the boy today, as he sits up in his crib without help, it is hard to believe he is the same boy, one week later — now clean and being cared for along with all the other boys in a different orphanage located only a few minutes away from where they suffered their ordeal. Another little boy right shown in the photos was carried out of the orphanage by Beale. He was very emaciated. "I picked him up and then immediately the kid started smiling, and as I got a little bit closer to the ambulance he just started laughing. It was almost like he completely understood what was going on," Beale said. When CBS News visited the orphanage with the soldiers, it was clear the boys had been starved of human contact as much as anything else, Logan said. Some still had marks on their ankles from where they were tied. Since only one boy can talk, it's impossible to know what terrible memories they might have locked away. The memory of what he saw when he helped rescue the boys that night haunts Ali Soheil, the local council head, who wept during the interview. Later at the hospital, Lt. Jason Smith brushed teeth and helped clean up the boys. He and his wife are both special education teachers, and he was proud to tell her what the soldiers had done. "She said that one day was worth my entire deployment," Smith said. "It makes the whole thing worthwhile." This is a tough test for the Iraqi government: How a nation cares for its most vulnerable is one of the most important benchmarks for the health of any society. source A young boy lies on the floor tethered to his crib in an orphanage in Baghdad's Fajr neighborhood after it was raided by U.S. and Iraqi soldiers who discovered a total of 24 naked and abused boys, ages 3 to 15 years old, in a darkened room without any windows. After initially being treated by Army medics, the boys were transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

It could have been any play group in the Washington area, except for the diaper bags. No Vera Bradley flowers, no pastel polka dots. The bags lying around Matt Vossler's Rockville living room Tuesday afternoon were dark Eddie Bauer canvas. One was red but, as its owner quickly pointed out, "very metrosexual." "Potty training was a lot of angst for me," Vossler, 43, a onetime paralegal, told the group. "Bottle feeding was my angst," said Matt Trebon, 36, a former Capitol Hill staffer, as his 3-year-old daughter nuzzled his side. "And trying to get them to eat well," Vossler continued, bringing up his 6-year-old. "Martin is all carbs." "Eight days -- no diapers!" Trebon suddenly announced, thrusting his fists into the air. With their wives as breadwinners, the fathers are part of a small but growing group of men who are quitting or retooling their careers to stay home with their children. On Fathers Day, an estimated 159,000 stay-at-home dads, or 2.7 percent of the country's stay-at-home parents -- almost triple the percentage from a decade ago -- will celebrate what has become a full-time job, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But experts say that number should be far higher because the census definition doesn't consider single fathers, those with children over 15 or those who work part-time or flexible hours to be home. Federal labor statistics show the number of fathers providing their young children's primary care is more like one in five. Those fathers are changing the way many children are growing up and the calculations families make as they try to balance busy and often conflicting lives. "Men have started to join the struggle of how you juggle family and work," said sociology professor Andrea Doucet, who studies Canadian stay-at-home fathers at Carleton University in Ottawa. Stay-at-home dads now have Web sites, blogs such as "A Man Among Mommies," support groups and an annual convention. They are showing up in "Mommy and Me" classes and PTA meetings. Many men's restrooms now have diaper-changing tables, and companies market souped-up strollers with brand names such as "the Bob." Those in the Washington region who have lived elsewhere say they sense more of their kind here because of the prevalence of high-powered working women. DCMetroDads, a group started nine years ago, has 325 members. Publishers and TV talk shows have made a cottage industry out of the "Mommy Wars" debate and the angst of motherhood. But stay-at-home dads are subject to relatively little study and, unlike their wives, generally don't care that their 6-year-old is still wearing pajama bottoms at 3 p.m. Sometimes, society goes easy on them. continue article more dads taking time off with baby I'm trying to imagine a stay at home Somali dad....sorry can't stop laughing.

Well, these posts are always good I think. Any woman reading this who holds a romantic vision of being second wifey hopefully will think twice. If such people still exist.

What's with the eye roll lily? So unbecoming of you

Girls, lie back and think of the Muslim Ummah. . . . . . For those who are thinking something else...its a jab at lie back and think of England. :rolleyes:

^In a best case scenario. Mostly, from what I see, men who move to live with their (new) wife in west leave their old one back home or kenya/dubia etc. I don't call once in a couple of months visit a marriage or fatherhood. Your too optimistic. I shouldn't comment in this because I have no knowledge of anything in this case...but generally speaking, that's how it goes.

If she got married to him while he was married & had kids and now wants to move him away to live with her...I'm sorry but that's evil to break up a family like that (if I got the situation right).

I realized I hate work. I love the paychecks though. Anyway to have one without the other? What are some of those bullshit jobs that have great pay? I need a bullshit job. Maybe a government job.

It's stories like these that make me realize that in my worst days, I am so incredibly lucky.

Wow I almost fainted for a sec. Then realized that they must've defanged the cobra because the baby is so unfazed and fascintaed with touching the cobra after repeated 'bites'. This is so cool & at the same time frightening. Why do all the weird things happen in India?
