    This is a tragedy. Good that the doctor is responsible and ask the couple to go counselling first. I hope the counselling is successful and the wife need not go to surgery anymore.

    This is tragic because
    - The man cannot grieve for his wife in his own pace and was pressured into remarrying
    - The woman have to get plastic surgery to look like her husband dead wife to keep the marriage
    - This is a marriage built on false love

    Why did his family pressure him into remarrying? He's clearly not ready for that at all.

    I haven't noticed a difference per station, but I rarely listen to one station any more. I have over 50 stations, and being able to discover new music based on 50 stations now is a lot more powerful.

    I think Spotify is the most popular music recommender system right now, at least among early adopters.

    from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowry

    The Portuguese crown gave two cities as dowry to the British Crown in 1661 when King Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland married Catherine of Braganza, a princess of Portugal. They were Mumbai (Bombay) in India and Tangier in Morocco.
    Imagine you are a citizen of Portugal one day and the next day, you become a citizen of the Great Briton because your princess got married. I wonder if moving from country to country in those days need visa like document or not. Imagine today, you can visit your grandma in the next city easily. But, the next day, you need a visa to do so.

    Some time back, I wrote that one client is leaving for another country. Another one just wrote to say the same thing.

    They should take an ethics course and learn how not to conduct business. How I feel ashamed being human.

    The irony in this is that he was trying to make up for his mistakes (with his deceased wife?) yet he's making another mistake with his current wife by asking her to physically change into his deceased wife.

    actually, many people know about ethics. It is possible that people forget about it, feel that it is not important in another country, believe that they can do away with it.

    The media is reporting that the daughter of the late Nirvana singer/songwriter/guitarist Kurt Cobain is engaged to be married soon. If *that* doesn't make people of my generation feel old, nothing will.

    Because I don't know your age, I'm thinking you are maybe in your late 20s? I am one of the oldest among my circle of friends, so I do feel that way a lot.

    Reading 'The Macho Paradox' made me thoughtful... and angry. Anger was inevitable as I recall some personal experiences.

    I especially wonder about that particular two men who had to tell me their plans/fantasies of toying with women/****s/gold-diggers, or paying women for sexual favours.

    I still wonder why they chose me to talk to about these things. >_>
