Widows

By TIM HUBER AP Business Writer LOGAN, W.Va. (AP) _ The widows of two miners killed in a 2006 coal mine fire in West Virginia have settled a wrongful death lawsuit against Massey Energy Co. Details of the settlement weren’t released Monday. The agreement came after four days of a civil trial in Logan County Circuit Court. The widows [...]

Indystar.com's Lori Borgman, a little bit tongue-in-cheek, I hope, describes what it's like to be a bookstore widow (something my wife has experienced for too many years to count). I know that I see a lot of myself in what Borgman says here about her husband. A few years ago, I dreamed of chucking the old day job and making our living as a full-time book scout. In fact, I did pretty well two

I was reminded today of one of the most dramatic differences between the Vietnam War and the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. This difference is the same thing that enables me to write this blog: The internet. In an article on the website milspouse.com, Nikki Lomax-Larson writes about a young wife – identified only as Emily -- who two years ago at age 22 became a widow after being married less than a year. Emily’s deployed husband had been on patrol handing out pamphlets to encourage Iraqis to vote when a sniper’s bullet killed him. The new widow posted a thread titled “My DH was just killed,” and the other members of the military spouse board responded online with comfort. Some of these other wives drove or flew in to attend the funeral. Back in 1970 this onli

Estoy escuchando estos días mucho a Sufjan Stevens.

I can't believe that this happens some where ,already it doesn't make sense , may be those Hindu widows are from a radical sect in India ,because we must not forget that Indira Gandhi was a widow , also we should not forget all those loving mother widow heart breaking films in the Indian Cinema like "For my sons" Ironically I didn't believe Jules Verne when I read his masterpiece "Around the world in 80 days" , the part concerning India where he saved the widow Aouda and I thought it was the imagination of the western mind and that it was a Thugee custom but it turned out that it has some roots in other religions in India , the disrespect of the widows Already this is not only in the Hindu or the in the Indian culture , in fact unfortunately I don't know why there are several communities who are disrespect the widows For example in Nigeria ,in some states the widows suffer till death after their husbands death the Egyptian Proverb The Shadow of a man is bett

(Written Monday evening, January 8, 2007) I am afraid that I will forever be known in Kiminini as "Christine,” the 30-something American who has shamed her family by not having children. For some reason, people here cannot say - or choose not to say - the name "Christy.” When I introduce myself, they insist on calling me "Christine” because they think I have shortened my name from that. I tried a few times to explain that my birth certificate actually reads "Christy,” but to no avail. People here are very adamant. Once they believe something, it is very hard to change their minds. Elijah, who is serving as my translator on the oral history project, brought up the children issue today as we set out for Mbai, a small village with a brand new widows group, the members of which will be the subjects of my oral history work. He asked how old I am and how long I have been married. I told him, and he seemed shocked. First of all, he said, I look like I am in my 20s (Yeah!!!

(Written Wednesday morning, January 10, 2007) I have been in Kiminini for nearly a week now, but I am not sure that I am adjusting very well. Everything seems to be getting harder, and the weather seems to be getting hotter. Simple things like going to the toilet, bathing and eating are becoming tiresome. Frankly, I hate trekking across the yard to pee in a hole in the ground. I long for a real shower, and I just do not feel like eating so much when I am hot and tired. Kenyans eat so much food! Every time I sit down to eat, Joshua chides me for taking small portions. But most of the time, I am hot and sweaty. Elijah and I have walked some distance every day this week.Yesterday, Elijah and I attended a meeting of the Mbai widows group. It was an experience I will never forget. Only 11 of the members were in attendance, and each made me feel very welcome. The women were still conducting their business when we arrived, so I was able to see first hand how "table banking” works. They ma

This post is borrowed from rawstory.comGroup of 9/11 widows 'question the veracity of the entire Commission's report' Ron Brynaert Published: Friday August 4, 2006 Print This | Email ThisFour widows instrumental in getting Congress to push President Bush to create the 9/11 Independent Commission insist that it "failed in its duties" on the heels of two recent news reports which allege that some bipartisan commissioners knew they were being "deceived" by NORAD officials, and the widows are now questioning "the veracity of the entire Commission's report," RAW STORY has found. In a statement released today by Patty Casazza, Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg, and Lorie Van Auken - 1/3 of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Independent Commission - the widows refer to the commission's mandate (Section 602 of Public Law 107-306). Two of the five "purpose

From the pathos of widows of the 1930’s India in “Water” to the mystic of Aishwarya Rai as a young widow in “Chokher Bali” (’Sand in the Eye’), fables of ill-fated women have often graced Indian celluloid. Whether it is the resolute Nargis in “Mother India”, the stoically resigned Jaya Bachchan in “Sholay”, the forgiving [...]

This is one for the boys!  My hubby used to go on an annual golf trip with about 20 friends. They used to spare no expense, and visit some of South Africa’s premier golf resorts. They always talked about doing a ‘big one’ and travelling overseas for a trip. I wonder if they ever considered Vegas? [...]
