I lived in Baltimore, MD for a brief time during my run from my abusive ex, and I stayed with an LDS couple (basically paid all their bills cuz she was retarded and he was a lazy pervert). The husband repeatedly told me that when polygamy became legal again (in the next few years, according to him) I would be his next wife because I kept house and cooked good. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Especially after he almost hit me for allowing my three-year-old daughter to "tempt" him by running around in her panties!! Gwen
