The Office Spouse
April 18th, 2007 by SexyGalHe knows your birthday, your favorite food, worst fear, and deepest, darkest secret. No, it’s not your husband, the man you promised to love and cherish until the day you die. It’s your office spouse — a phrase coined to describe the new relationship phenomenon that’s developed as Americans work longer, harder, and in closer proximity with colleagues of the opposite sex.
“An office spouse meets emotional needs, going beyond the requirements of the job,” says Willard F. Harley Jr., PhD, author of His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage. “If you are in a bind, here is a co-worker — someone of the opposite sex — who will care for you, who you can depend on, and who you can confide in.”
Maintaining a healthy and nonsexual relationship with an office spouse can be tricky and sometimes detrimental to your real marriage. From walking a thin line between friendship and adultery, to avoiding a workplace husband or wife altogether, to keeping it strictly platonic, experts give WebMD the rules of engagement when it comes to the office spouse.

Girl Saved By Local Firemen
April 16th, 2007 by SexyGalHere’s the kind of work you could be doing if you had chosen to be a fireman in the tri-city area.
Many local firemen joined in a team effort to rescue a young girl stuck in a steel fence. It took several hours to extract her from her predicament.
Fire chief Stiffie said, “This was a pretty tough rescue, it took us quite a while to come up with a plan to safely extract her from the fence.”Although the girl’s entrapment was never life threatening, it did take careful planning and gentle handling to safely remove her. She was taken to an area hospital where she was examined and released.
