    Chilean mine rescue

    Kudos to the Chileans who rescued 33 of their compatriots trapped in the underground mine. Unless you've been living underground trapped in a mine shaft for the last 70 days you've undoubtably heard the news about the dramatic rescue. There's been donated money, gifts, job offers and probably book and appearance contracts waiting for those who were trapped and now free.
    There's probably at least one miner who might now be wishing he was still down in the mine. According to the article:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...an-miners.html

    One miner, who has not been named, has a first wife he never divorced, his live-in partner, a mother of a child he had several years ago, and a woman who claims to be his current girlfriend all visiting the camp.

    And there's several more with at least two women looking for their husbands/lovers when they came out.

    I feel sorry for the wife of the guy who was met by his girlfriend. Imagine, your husband is trapped in a mine:
    you think he's dead
    omg, he'sd alive!
    he has a what??!!
    'I'm waiting for him, we'll see who he comes to when he gets to the surface'
    ok, I give up.....

    Talk about an emotional roller coaster!

      That's a real mess. I feel sorry for those who didn't know about the others.

        Reminds me of the old song "Take It Easy"...

        I've got seven women on my mind...
        Four that wanna own me,
        two that wanna stone me,
        one says she's a friend of mine...
