In its early years, Oregon was at the outer limits of the known world, and that remoteness attracted all sorts of interesting characters. There were Joe Meek types, driven by a spirit of adventure; there were guys like William Ladd, who came hoping to get in on the ground floor and become the next generation of business barons; and, of course, there were the Marcus Whitmans and Jason Lees, the state's spiritual forefathers, come into the wilderness to save souls. But there was another kind of...

Bloodthirsty as that may sound, most gardeners don't appreciate planting a garden only to have it turn into a mottled, notched, or spotted mess.

But dead plants are not. "Accepting a little damage is imp...
Three years ago my husband confessed to me face-to-face, he had an affair with a friend of mine. It hurt me so badly, but after days of him apologizing, saying how much he loved me and what a mistake he made, I took him back. Now he is controlling me. He doesn't like me to sit and talk with my friends, or play cards with them. He wants me to stay here at home under him. He doesn't trust me, though I never gave him reason to doubt me. I believe he's afraid I am going to get revenge on him. I've...
