What!! No letter? How can that be? She's supposed to be such a caring and conscientious person.

This forest lady turns out to be a real load.

The estranged husband of a U.S. Forest Service worker accused of setting the worst wildfire in Colorado history told investigators he had never written a letter to his wife

HA! I knew it, I just knew it.

What is this "word wrap" thing on the reply form?

What is this "word wrap" thing on the reply form?

It'll keep the text in one LONG line. But I think it's just for composing a reply.

Hey, it might have worked.

In today's society, everything up to and including murder can be blamed on the current or former spouse of the perpetrator.

Provided, of course, that the spouse is male and the perpetrator is female.

The Lifetime movie they'll make about it will tell the story.

Starring Rosie O'Donut!

Continuing saga of the Hayman fire Ping!

Patriarchal oppression can make women do awful things.

By the time the Lifetime screenwriters get done with this story, she'll be able to run for elected office in Colorado.....and win!

Anyone who dares not vote for her will be painted as a supporter wife abuse.

Unfortunately for him it doesn't say FORMERhusband. There goes any assets or life savings this guy had.

There goes any assets or life savings this guy had.

Yikes! I hadn't thought of that.

Well, since she was suffering under a patriarchical and autocratic society, then he deserves to lose his assets. After all, he spoke meanly to her. </sarcasm>

[wheezer]

At her trials, when she is acquitted by a tough talking lady judge, the Court will apologize for all the hell she's been through....

Actually, I see the judge as a hard boiled male chauvanist (sp?) who over the course of the trail comes to appreciate spunky's plight....he "grows"....so to speak, and sheds a tear at acquital.

Well, either he's telling the truth or he's come up with a fabulous way to get rid of his almost-ex and keep his bank account intact.

Oooooooo.......I just thought of something: Could the estranged hubby be held financially responsible for what this woman did, simply because they're still legally married and therefore he bears responsibility for half her debts/liabilities?
