Help me out. If I am in a household of say, $160,00-$170,000 a year before bonuses, but my husband makes by far the lion's share, am I killing him slowly or is he going to outlive me?

I'm in my dream field as well, but at just past 50, I see most of my peers still working very hard and deriving great satisfaction from what they do, but the importance of it has begun to recede a bit. They're all successful and have at least 15 years of work left, but family, friends, community, hobbies, travel,…

When you have been at any job long enough, it's just work. Yes, my job IS rewarding. I help working class college students into the middle class, so I do like what I do, and I take it very seriously. But there is a certain age when, for even the most ambitious professionals, there is no real "dream" left to one's…

Probably. :)

That didn't take long. Yes, you are right. No one has suffered before you. Don't bother to reply.

I have been miserable and I have been content. The latter is infinitely better. I recognize that happy and content are not the same, but people who are content experience happiness fairly regularly.

Absolutely true. I have long noted how angry, bitter and miserable young people can be (not all). I think a sense that you will live forever gives young people a kind of permission to be miserable. When you start aging, you realize how little time you have left, so you might as well be happier.

Which child did he kill? I'm not saying you are wrong, but he I can't recall him successfully killing a child.

Icky men very seldom wonder if they are icky. :)

Video games have been blamed for violence for at least 30 years.

You just insulted me, then called me civil. That passive aggressiveness is really something.

Your feelings get hurt a bit easily. If my response was a flame to you, then you should avoid internet commenting. It gets so much worse.

I spoke many kind lies when shutting down icky men.

She wasn't going to attend. He's a creepy punk who can't resist the chance to bother a pretty, reasonably well-known woman.

Now THAT is a great comeback! I wish those outraged humorless types writing about how awful I am would have more fun!

Here I am, baby!

Your reaction is so inappropriately angry, you truly have made my night. I laughed out loud.

Those are some jug ears he's got there.

But hadn't you already assumed he would die? I never expected anything else. It was the only sensible outcome.

Obviously Secret Service or CIA. I've heard tell he waterboarded Bo in an attempt to get information about a pile of chipmunk carcasses.
