An Indiana woman is trying to get a paycheck for hours of work she did

Confusion - "Women are confused about the type of man they want. Women
want responsible loving men but are sexually attracted to complicated
men or jerks."

Not that I can take a lot of credit for it, today I celebrate nine years of
sobriety.
I do take heart in the fact that my wife did remember it this week -- the
