    A great family beats a job, no matter how good the job is.

    But you can go back to your career after the kids are in school if you want to. Experience doesn’t go away and you’re gaining valuable resume experience with all you do to keep your home running safely and happily.

    No Elly, you didn’t give up your career, you changed it–as motherhood is very definitely a fulltime job.

    You don’t have to attach yourself to another person to be valuable.

    The one doing all the whining, just sits there and watches the other one doing everything by herself.

    I guess it depends on which is harder to get, a degree or find a good man. As a woman gets older there are fewer and fewer eligible males. So Elly is better off than Connie since she has something it’s harder to obtain.

    Here’s a thought…Lose some weight, quit dressing like a frump and quit complaining about your ex, your job and your life to every guy you meet.

    Fortunately, my family consists of a wife and a Lab, named Cleo. So I can’t even imagine.

    Maybe Connie would have a better time attracting a mate, if she wasn’t so fixated on it. Desperate women are repulsive.

    Whining is fun. It’s, like, a national pastime.

    Whining is our new national anthem and Connie is such a loser

    Lynn’s overdoing Connie’s fixation on catching any man from a quirk to a pathology, so much that this storyline is going from funny to sad. And Connie never does have a happy enduring relationship, does she (at least not for ten years) - why are we not surprised.

    Hey, it is never too late to learn the educations!

    On the nail Wildmustang1262–I’ve actually seen 75-year-old students at UCalgary.

    As a non Canadian, what is BSC? I might be able to guess the BS part.

    being a MRS truly is a blessing..
    with its down moments of course…

    I believe we can understand why she is an ex.

    It doesn’t matter how much you have accomplished in life if you don’t have the fulfill the little girl dream of becoming a MRS. Women’s lib still has a long ways to go.

    Time to move on, Lynn. You’re boring us to death. I’ve got an idea. Let’s jump a decade or so and have April. It will make the comic fun again. Or let us see a younger Jim and his first wife. Hey, even a root canal would be more entertaining than this whine-fest.
