counting my blessings

Just had a conversation with a work buddy of mine. She's getting a divorce, but because of her culture, she's expected to pay her soon-to-be-ex-husband the $7,000 he used to buy her

Okay, ths situation sounds really fucked up but I find myself wondering something else.

How the heck do you meet all these people?

What culture? Just because of the neighborhood I'm imagining Hmong.

I met this nice lady at work - she's told her husband "Screw you - I'm doing this the American way!" so hopefully that will work out OK.

Yes, she is Hmong; I've learned alot about the MN Hmong culture that I didn't know - the not good stuff recently *sigh*
