The Remember When thread has me thinking about myself when I first came to iVillage and how much things have changed since then. Anybody else want to play?
I came to iVillage in the summer of 2000. I was 36 and working as HR Manager for an internationally-owned manufacturing company I was divorced with a 6 1/2-yr-old disabled son, and my ex had committed suicide a few months before. This was actually the event that led me to iVillage in the first place. I was one of those "Have to work" moms and was told by several when I first came here that I had no place in this debate because I had no choice.
Now, I'm 51 and my son is 21. For the past tnot-quite-ten years I've worked as the business manager for a small architecture firm. Eight years ago, I also absorbed the marketing coordinator's position. The job(s) and the company have been overwhelmingly stressful at times but have changed greatly over the past few years, due to economic/market and ownership changes. I am now in a very comfortable position within the company. I also no longer really have to work. My son is now in a position to offer to take care of things if I want to quit and take some time to figure out what I want to do. That offer has led me to the realization that despite the stress, long hours (which really isn't an issue anymore anyway) and frustration, I am already doing what I want to do. I'll be sticking around there.

I don't think so and you were pretty hot to get the information removed from ivillage and harrassed me for through multiple threads across months about Queens actions and how I should have stopped her from posting that information. I haven't mentioned any assumptions about the outcome....you are getting all hot and bothered again about something you "claim" didn't happen.
READ CAREFULLY. The "arrest" part is not true and NO ONE knows the outcome. You are making up the rest.
Wow. That wasn't passive-agressive at ALL. @@
Says the woman who posts pics of herself on FB in bikinis. <eyeroll> I'm not trying to impress you or anyone else, Ginger--I'm just stating a fact. My husband loves my body. And don't go all prudish--we're heard plenty about Swiper chasing you around the bed over the years. Save the pearl clutching for Jambles. It's disingenuous from you.
If you want to attack me because I have a medical condition that requires invasive procedures to get pregnant, go right ahead. Once again, that's just proving what a unconsciable BITCH you are. Quite honestly, I'm enjoying infertility right now. All the sex I want and no need for birth control. But by all means, feel free to attack me for something completely out of control and show us all just how fucking classy you are.
Does it help that I didn't need a Christmas bonus to pay for my babies?
Are we really talking about something as lame as a screen shot of a twitter follower who happens to be an escort? I can't believe all of her cackling over the laste few months has been about a twitter follower, how funny and what a fitting end to this board.
I wouldn't find this very funny, especially when she lied about even having one and then not bothering to answer me many times over the last 3 months. If she had a leg to stand on, she would have talked before today. Sounds like this is not the first time another woman has been around.
And notice that she STILL hasn't posted her "proof" despite me giving her the okay multiple times. And what do you want to bet that this Paola is one of Kim Michaelson's alter-egos...
You made me wait 3 months. You can wait a couple more hours :)
But you can't keep a man....this molly logic is so confusing!

....and creating a fake facebook persona to try and follow someone is really stalking. That is when you really showed your true colors and the depths you were willing to sink, minor children molls? So sad.
