Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

Oh come on!! Sweden can be very exciting...really! I mean, you might even stumble across an elk in my back yard, what more could a person want out of life :-)?

I did actually live in Barcelona a long time ago, btw. Franco had died a few years before and the place was like one big teenage party after the parents had gone for the weekend...good thing I was a teenager at the time.

Bwah! Well, you got me on the 'cat-infested" part, but we prefer to call it, "species diverse neighborhood" ;) It's not easy being the hired staff to felines.

If she's only an hour away from San Francisco, I'm fairly sure that she is no where near the fires.

Nope, the fires are in So Cal. I am praying for all the folks down there to at least get out with their lives and to have good fire insurance.

That is not fair. I have seen plenty of mansions that could use a good scrubbing! Home is where the heart is, truly. The cost of one's home is irrelevant to how much of a home it is.

There's a lot of ground to cover between cars on blocks and "your shrubbery has been measured and found to be 1/3 inch too high dear..."

 

Yes. We. Did.
