She can only pull the 1 leg card so many times before it simply becomes a joke. Losing a leg is a very sad situation and I feel for her loss, but when she makes it the center of attention she is no longer going to garner much sympathy.

My opinion is that even though Ms. Mills is entitled to something, I agree it should be a portion of wealth attained after their wedding. As for Sir Paul, well, just my shielded observations but I think that Paul and Linda were totally meant for each other. I think Paul thought that he was getting into the same type of relationship, thus no prenup. Obviously, for reasons that only the two of them truly know, they did not work out. Paul can afford to be generous, especially with his daughter, but I don't think he owes his world to Heather. She needs to be able to have the child raised in the comfortable manner that she would have been had they stayed together. I don't think that Linda was ever materialistic nor was Paul. Heather on the other hand...well...enough said. Paul is a hero in England, what would anyone expect but total loyalty to him and what he and John did for all of us. The reality of it is that Paul hasn't done anything worthy of listening to in a number of years. I believe even the most prolific of writers eventually burn out. There probably isn't a huge amount of income that can be related to present times. Paul can you say...Prenuptial?
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA What is Mills supposed to do? Sit in a corner and mourn the loss of her leg? Perhaps just stay indoors? Some people have the strangest reaction to people's injuries. My Dad used to get bent out of shape, because a Greeter at his local Wal-Mart was wheelchair bound -- he had lost both his legs. My Dad felt that the Greeter should 'cover up his ugly stumps' with a blanket or something. What a weird and childish reaction to someone's injury.

Like my Dad. My Dad got pissed at the Wal-Mart Greeter, because that guy made my Dad feel uncomfortable. Oh well, Dad. Get over it.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut <<Not to make them feel ashamed. But to help other people get over that initial feeling of 'Ooooh.

In the case of the wal-mart greeter, him missing his legs effects your experience with him in no way. His job is to say hi. His legs have nothing to do with that. I just dont get it. <To have Heather Mills go on 'Dancing With the Stars' to me, was very inspirational.

I also think that people have been out for Mills' blood since she started dating McCartney. I don't think most people could handle that kind of scrutiny very well. Let's think of how annoyed we get on LP if someone says something about us that we don't think is true, or we are misunderstood. Now imagine that on a global scale and think of how well you'd deal. That said, I don't think all of the stuff about her is completely false either. There is usually a bit of truth to a person's reputation. She isn't doing a very good job of proving that the rumors about her harsh personality are wrong...
