The mayor of Australia’s Redland City, Karen Williams, crashed her car into a tree last week while drunk on “several glasses of wine” one hour after meeting virtually with families of drunk driving victims, Australia’s 9News reported Monday. “Williams was breath tested by police on June 23 after crashing into a tree around 9pm in Cleveland, Redlands, just north of Brisbane in south-east Queensland,” Australia’s 9News reported on June 27. “She later apologised and admitted to drinking ‘several glasses of wine’ before getting behind the wheel,” according to the news outlet. Williams had reportedly met with families of local drunk driving victims over Zoom as part of her official mayoral duties just one hour prior to her car accident. “I am very sorry for my actions.

My how time flies. It seems like just yesterday VW launched the all-new Jetta -- replacing an aging four door compact sedan with something sportier with more style and tech. That was 2019. New for 2022,  the compact sedan sees a significant refresh - which includes a horsepower boost, exterior design tweaks, an upgraded cabin and more standard technology. The 2022 lineup comes in four trims - my test model being the range topping SEL grade. A sportier Jetta GLI stands apart as its own model.

A woman has asked the AIBU (Am I Being Unreasonable?) forum on Mumsnet for advice on a complex family issue following the sad death of her sister. In the post, user Naughtybutnice76 describes how her sister tragically took her own life and the funeral is coming up next week. She writes: "Her son's [19] wishes are that we as a family (mum, dad, sister, son) travel in the car and sit together at the funeral. My mum and dad are separated. My Dad wants his partner on the front row with us, the same woman he had an affair with while my parents were married. Is it unreasonable to ask that she doesn't sit with us? We all get along, that isn't the issue. It just feels like this should be a time where family wishes come first. AIBU?" Families And Divorce According to the American Psychological Association (APA), infidelity in the United States accounts for 20-40 percent of divorces. A study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), showed one partner in 88% of divorced … [Read more...] about Fury over cheating dad wanting to sit partner front-row at family funeral
