The Buddhism Isn't Working

What They Said About Love
Steve Budd
-----------------------------------------
Meet couples who who were sure they weren't right for each other when they first met, and guys who have trouble proposing. Discover what other people find most irritating about their spouses (and love them anyway). And listen to a married woman who likens the search for a mate to buying a house and says, "Throw away the list!" Steve Budd interviewed a whole bunch of married couples, and brings the best to life. Satisfy your voyeuristic tendencies and curiosity about how others look for love and, in some cases, find it.

It appears shemight remain there for a very, very long time, untilshe meets ahandsome European man obsessed with foreign black beauties.

Because he's a desperate, sad journalist who will do ANYTHING for a good story. Also, there is the prospect of "grief sex."

Another Tuesday night at LSU
