Recognizing that forty years of loving Paul (McCartney) may blind us to seeing Heather Mills objectively, and giving her her due for dancing and performing amazingly on Dancing With the Stars, nevertheless it is impossible to get my head around how someone who will get no less than $49 million can expect sympathy or say with a straight face that she is "not" a wealthy woman.

Hi Jau,
I tried to leave a comment a couple of days - thanks for stopping my way - but I couldn't find your posts. Today, I scrolled all the way down on Mozilla Firefox and there were.
I have loved McCartney & the Beatles and that whole era of Woodstock & hippiedom in Britain. I do like Mills.
I watched her give an intelligent inspiring intervew on Larry King after she first came on, on Dancing with the Stars. I believe it hasn't been easy for her. The press in Britain can be really mean.

I agree with you about the British press - they make the U.S. press look easygoing, don't they?!
