Steve, I didn't say she was "crazy." Nor did Epicure. She said she needed "help." Well, yeah, I think an 18 year old girl who marries a 58 year old man, the man dies of cancer, she has a baby, presumably with him as the father, lives alone with her baby in a trailer in a remote area of Oklahoma, needs help. In all sorts of ways.

Boy- who jumps to conclusions? By "help" I meant I hoped some tender hearted folks mail the woman some money, or that someone offered her some speaking engagements or something. I didn't even know how old she was. I just felt sorry for a very young woman with a baby, a woman whose husband had just died. Maybe if you could get that ginormous chip off your shoulder and not think the worst of everyone here you'd make more sense. I don't care if the woman marries an 80 year old, I'd still feel sorry for a woman whose husband just died when she has a new baby, and then has guys breaking in to her trailer. That's pitiful. Who wouldn't hope this woman gets some hope coping? It sounds like life is hard for her.
