[history]
If it's true that a woman has to kiss many frogs before she finds her prince, then Kimberly Devlin's lips must be turning green. Recent first dates -- they usually end there -- have asked her to pay the check, have lied about owning a car, or have fibbed about their line of work. The last man who asked her out, though nice enough, was a walking billboard for his tattoo parlor and wore more earrings than the 22-year-old Devlin could count.

    Looks OK to me - and I ain't been drinking - yet. Full time job, has her own car, knows how to and a Dad that owns a bar?? Can she clean fish?

    There is nothing inherently immoral about managing a bar.Is it anything like managing a cafe in Amsterdam ?
In either case, a gentleman shouldn't be surprised if his daughter hooks up with someone similar to his clientele.
 
To: LaraCroft
    Ah, I can just 
feel the love. Had she exercise her 
choice and killed the baby you would call her another name.

    I asked before, but you have failed to answer. What is wrong with managing a bar?
 Is owning a bar even worse? I'd really like to know as my family has owned bars since August of 1969 when my grandfather opened his first bar. And I should have a bar of my own by years end.
 So, whats wrong with me and my family?

Yes, owning is worse.

    Senator Lindsey Graham is the son of a bar/liquor store/poolroom owner, so you're in good company.

    None of my familys bars are drug cafes or houses of prostitution. And to suggest such is offensive. You should be ashamed. Slinging slander on those you do not know must be a hobbie of yours.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham is not better than a drug dealer or pimp!

    ...and this is different from the story on the role of women in Bedouin culture...how? 
 
 
The Bedouin's have too much class to send their daughter to shack up with the man they choose BEFORE the wedding.

    Why does the alleged 4-year-old have (Gawd, I hope they're rub-on) tattoos?

    And I should have a bar of my own by years end. And you'll get to know every Baptist in town, too. I say that as a Baptist.

    I feel really sorry for her. She must be so desperate, especially because she has a daughter. No guy wants another man's kid. 
 
 
I dont know about that my husband adopted four.
