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...

One couple that was interviewed on the Today show, in front of the ash remains of their only-4-year-old home, stated that they'd moved there, down from the mountain, because they wanted to be safer. Their mountain neighborhood had been threatened by fire several times, so they "came down" and built a new house so they'd be safer.

now it seems that you just found it was arson. when i posted that post, i had no idea it was arson. so pick up your violin and walk away. in other parts of the country an arson doesn't turn into what this has turned into in CA.
