... take these men home to our own countries and then work to support them while they relax all day and we also take care of all the housework!). In fact, I believe that I was sized up as wife material by a slightly older man just last night - he wanted to take me to meet the chief, and hadn't even bothered to ask about the boyfriend/husband at home formality!

Instead, I got on the computer and read various news articles (and sent some to a couple people) and then did a little writing of my own afterwards.

I went to the teller, explained to him what happened, and he ...
