| Brisbane widow tricked by online beaus
A BRISBANE widow is on the verge of bankruptcy after being seduced out of $60,000 in successive online romance scams. The 65-year-old first-time internet user was also new to dating when she went looking for love online last year. After joining a meeting website for seniors, the woman was approached by a man claiming to be an English professor of physics who was building a robotic tractor. The woman, who wants to be identified only as Shirley, quickly fell in love with "James" who over several months sent photos of himself, his children and his passport. "I wanted to meet like-minded people," she said. "We were supposed to be married this Christmas. He asked if I could assist him with his project and I didn't hesitate because we were a couple. I borrowed $20,000 on a personal loan and sent him the lot." Shirley, who had been on her own since she was widowed 10 years ago, also sent him $10,000 for airfares.

Letters, 11/29: The dangers of MySpace
I read on Nov. 18 the article called "MySpace hoax ends with teen’s suicide."In the article I was extremely shocked by the behavior that was going on over the computer site MySpace. I personally do not have a MySpace page specifically for that reason.This article is just one of the many horror stories I have heard about the site. Not only are there people — adults and children — making "false pages," there are predators, and without truly knowing the person you don’t know who it might be. .
Hi-ho, the derry-o, a farmer meets a girl
When a new girlfriend showed up to see dairy farmer Joe Engel at work, he took an anxious breath when she walked through the barn door. No doubt about it, she was cute. But Engel, 26, had been down this country road before. "I glanced up and saw her holding her nose, and that was it," says the farmer, whose family owns Luck-E Holsteins in Hampshire, Ill. "It dawned on me -- why waste any more of your time, or my time?" .
