Today in History:Those Indecisive Swedes:
Mar 1, 1700 - Sweden introduces its own Swedish calendar, in an attempt to reform into the Gregorian calendar.
Mar 1, 1712 - Sweden reverts to the Julian calendar as March 1 follows on February 30.
Mar 1, 1753 - Sweden introduces the Gregorian Calendar as March 1 follows on February 17.

A Woman Shall Obey Her Husband...to the death...
83 year old Glen Schibley was working in his yard in Orlando, when he fell and could not get up. Glen adamantly declined needing any assistance and would not let his wife, Harriet, help him or call for assistance.
Being the good and obedient wife, Harriet did not get any help. And through three days of torrential downpours, she lovingly brought him food and water in the yard, and even covered him with a tarp to help keep him dry.
Sadly, during one of the treks to and from the house, Harriet also fell and could not get up.
They were both found laying in the yard by their son-in-law. Glen had passed away and Harriet was injured. She is now in the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
"They wanted to be left alone and we left them alone and maybe we shouldn't have left them alone," neighbor Sherman Brunell said.
