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...

The old company I worked for had a CEO that was VERY closed minded with regard to "neighborhoods".

Personally, I rather like, respect and love people that exhibit behaviors beyond the norm.

When I bought my first house, the shrubs were all the way up to the gutters blocking a bedroom and bathroom window.

Oh oh oh .. maybe next they'll paint their toenails blue ... or dye their hair with purple streacks ... or have a pink mailbox.

Shoot, Albuquerque has turquoise emblems, symbols, paintings, etc all over the interstate.

Exactly and some have rather hideous taste.

I hate my gunmetal gray front door. Before we left our previous home, we installed a brand new beautiful wine colored front door and wine trimmed storm door.

Aren't the big snowstorms on the east coast called Noreasters?
