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...

You think that a yellow door is the gateway to trash in the yard and gang signs? Why in the world would you think that? Based on what evidence? Do you know what is ACTUALLY the gateway to trash in the yard and gang signs? Massive unemployment. But that has nothing to do with door color. Infact, I'd say it's inversely related to door color. Unemployed people (or those employed in crime) tend NOT to go to the paint store and spend money on paint.

That only makes your POV all the more baffling. May I ask where you live now, as in state?

She is just making the obvious point that people who paint their doors yellow are mentally unstable. You didn't know about that?

"What else will they do for attention?"

I can answer that because it's Halloween, the time of year when some home owners vie for attention almost as much as at Christmas.

What they will do for attention (in the month of October, so I saw it all this morning) is put cobwebs across their shrubbery, tombstones on the front lawn, skeletons stuck to the door, spiders hanging from the gutters...

Homeowners who try to draw attention to their homes are a fun bunch to live near. I don't have the gumption to spend hours hanging felt spiders from my gutters, but I appreciate the people who do. Trying to get people to look at your house isn't the pathology that you make it out to be.
