    • well ... I'm of two minds about this one ....

      I said this before ... that poor people have poor options .....

      chap's a blue collar worker, a factory worker well past his prime ..... 

      what option does he have ? .... what chance has he got at "true love", having failed once at marriage ? .... 

      maybe I've read too much of steinbeck, but really ... how often do men visit "pros" to get a bonk, but were really looking for something other than sexual gratification ? ....

      we human beings crave being close to another human being, to be close to another person ... that, is essentially what love is ... even if that is the short time, unsatisfying, sordid affair one gets from someone who sells her body for money ...... 

      shucks, maybe I've drank too much .... but of course ... the actions of the PDMM, is a lot harder to excuse ......

      I'm sure he won't be the last man to fall prey to such predators ...

      I thought I did .....

      I thought it was only a simple LCD problem .... tore it apart ... saw the dual inputs are loose, popped it back .. and the screen came back ....

      then the resume error came out ... and the screen went black ....

      took it apart again ... checked inverter, checked ram, check mother board, check disk ....

      Newly Wedded PRC PDMM forces man to will over house to wife and step daughter, buy insurance, apply for PR, and opened massage parlour under his name ....

      "Obviously, she marries me not because she loves me. Not only did she secure all benefits to this marriage, she exploited me and opened a massage parlour," 48-year-old Su told Wanbao.

      Mr Su is a factory operator, and this is his second marriage.

      He met his current wife at Chinatown in 2006.

      "She brought her daughter of about 10 years along to Singapore to pursue an education. She was working at a massage parlour in Chinatown, and had approached me on the street with massage services. We even went to a hotel together after that," says Mr Su.

      According to Mr Su, he was mesmerised by her beauty, and would frequently visit her in Chinatown every week.

      The two grew intimate.

      Early this year, his Chinese wife suggested that they register their marriage, and both decided on September.

      He did not expect her to show her true colours just one month into their marriage.

      "She even insists that I put her name as well as her daughter's in the housing deed. I regret marrying her," Mr Su expressed.

      Mr Su noted that his wife had used his name and documents to open a massage parlour, and hired female masseuses without work permits.

      When he found out about her illegal acts, she threatened him with a knife.

      He said that he was afraid that his wife was dragged into this business unknowingly, hence had gone to cancel the license of the shop.

      His wife got very angry.

      "Luckily, our argument was overheard by the neighbours, and they came just in time to stop us," Mr Su said.

      Ever since this incident, Mr Su reported that he was physically abused by his wife every night, resulting in a physical and mental breakdown.

      She spent over $100,000 of his husband's money

      In a rare streak of luck, Mr Su won the lottery four times in a year, winning over $100,000, but this sum had been squandered by his wife, he said.

      To sustain her infinite demands, he even applied for a credit card and a personal loan for his wife.

      As a result, he was now burdened with debts.

      "When we weren't married yet, I gave her $1,000 every month as allowance. I was also responsible for her daughter's school fees and all living expenses, spending over $4,000 on the mother and child."

      i bought some good ground beef about 3 weeks ago at the farmer's market. and it's been sitting in the freezer ever since. until i took it out last night to defrost.

      is it still ok to make my burger medium rare???

      it'll taste funny .....

      last time I discovered a big 2 kilo block of ground beef I bought in 2003, I ate it in 2006 .... no issues there .... but it tasted a bit gamey ...

      I have no idea ...

      I think as long as it's checked in and not hand carried ? ....

      I've never had any problems bringing diving knives along on diving trips .....

      and backpacking or trekking, I used to pack along a big parang which I used as a utility knife cum bushwhacker, never had any problems ......
