Are you joking?!???
.. I am a proud 58-year-old woman who is in an accelerated program to get my AA (almost there!) with the aim of a bachelor's degree starting next year. When I started the accelerated program, HALF of the students were around my age, in their 50's. Let me tell you, I am having the best time of my life. I relish being around the other half of the students who are in their late teens, 20's,30's, and 40's. My life experience and my work experience add a richness to the class as do the others my age. We have become a family, a tight network of friends who support each other to reach our goal - a degree and keep going. I have made friends for life here with the women who are all experiencing what I am experiencing - the death of their job by outsourcing, attrition, or just burned out and wanting a degree to get into something else. I realize now that no matter what, I will never stop going to school. It is a permanent fixture in my life even if it means a class here, a class there. Learning is fun,challenging, and the friendships you will make will add to your life.
At 40, you will find others older than you, and at 40, you will add rich experiences to the younger ones in your class. This year, there are double the amount of older ones going into accelerated degree programs at our school, so much so that they have had to open up other classes and expand. This is becoming the norm. GO FOR IT!!
Your joking right?
Wow you're gullable and niave and I'll probably get banned from posting... How old are you? Common sense is something you lack.
I agree. And even if she was joking, what an
idiotic joke that would be, and disrespectful to do something like that when someone is achieving the success that they only dreamed about 2 years ago while WATCHING the CMA awards. I'm really disappointed in Faith.
You've got to be joking
What are you the thought police? I'll tell you...there are some whacked out religious nuts who are the last people I want "teaching" consequences to people they don't know anything about. I say to everyone out there as my mom used to say to me....keep your nose out of where it doesn't belong.
She could have been joking. Lighten up. nm

You must surely be joking.
This is the worst conspiracy rant I've ever seen - and the dumbest, if you know anything about the economics behind this theory. No government wants the cost (there is no "profit" whatsoever to the government) of an unhealthy population.
It is real. She claims she was joking but I don't think so
and I'm a Faith Hill fan. I think someone told her she had won, she was expecting it, so she was shocked.
AND, if it really WAS a joke then I actually it makes her look even worse. Who would make a joke like that and take away from Carrie's moment??? NOT funny IMO.
Coors Light? naw just joking ;-)
I had the same problem, but just decided to go with the flow. I started working graveyard and sleeping during the day. I was able to work within family constraints and felt much better.
Don't know if that's an option for you, though. I tried Tylenol PM and other OTC sleep aids but they gave me restless leg syndrome for some reason which made matter a million times worse.
Hope you're able to find some relief.
You've got to be joking - you are so insensitive
I read this post and couldn't believe it. She asked for positive feedback and you tell her this? What kind of a person are you? Sheesh. Her husband certainly does not sound like he has a lot of good qualities. To write a letter to your wife pointing out all the flaws. And then you tell her she is spoiled and unthankful???? With friends like you who needs enemies. “Ms. Done” sounds like she needs encouragement and reinforcement and some love and self esteem. Nobody should listen to your words. I don’t know who is worse you or her husband.
To Done: My situation is not as bad as yours but I’ve had my moments. Luckily I don’t have children, so I don’t have to face the situation and struggles that you do. I have been married for 25 years. My husband doesn’t beat me. We laugh a lot, but sometimes I can’t put it into words but sometimes I too feel like I’m no longer in love with him (not all the time, just moments here and there). Other days I just go through the motions of breathing, working, and daily routine stuff. People who don’t know you or your situation will just tell you in an instant to leave but its not that easy and they are not standing in your shoes. Years ago mine told me I was dumpy and acting like an old lady (I was 43 at the time). He told me that when I sit and do cross stitch I look like an old lady. He tells me in an instant if I'm doing something wrong. Once time I said something to him and he came back with “you must have been a mean kid growing up saying hurtful things. I’ll bet you didn’t have many friends”. Talk about being taken aback I was too shocked to even think of a response to say. For the most part we laugh a lot, but there are days that I wonder why in the world I hastened into marriage and believe that I have done something horrible thing in a previous life and this is karma. But that’s just my struggles I will deal with.
On another note, I am a child of an unhappy marriage. I won’t put blame on either my mom or my dad. They were going through their times and my sister and I were too young to understand the troubles or feelings they were going through. My baby sister died when she was 16 months old from meningitis and I know that was a big strain. Anyway…my dad stayed until my sister and I were old enough to understand what was going on, but it was not a happy home with all the fighting. When I turned 16 my mom and dad sat down with my sister and I and told us they were separating. I think I probably shocked them both because I said to them “It’s about time”. I told them all they do is fight and if they are not happy together why are they staying together. I said as long as they were happy I was happy and if being separated means them being happy then I’m for it as long as I can see them both as much or whenever I want to.
You might want to talk about seeing a counselor together and maybe they can help work out the problems with you and your husband. I don't know your husband or what he's like. I'm sure he has some good qualities, but if he does not want to contribute and work it out and thinks he is perfect and does nothing wrong and that writing you a letter pointing out your flaws is an okay way for a husband to treat his wife and if he won’t get counseling and doesn’t want to keep the marriage together then there are always other options.
I think most kids are a lot tougher than parents believe, and if you decide to leave with the help of a counselor or someone (other than your husband) to talk to them I’m sure they will make it through just fine. I wish my mom and dad had divorced a long time before they actually did so they would have been happier. It was very hard to see them both unhappy.
On the other hand you could be like me Irish friend and dish back to your husband what he gives to you. I’d say you should write him a letter pointing out all his flaws and insecurities. Then when he doesn’t seem too happy about it tell him… “There see how it feels? You don’t like it do you”.
Anyway…I wish you the best and hope you find happiness soon, and please don’t listen to EvaEv. She sounds like a real piece of work. – Hey maybe she is your husbands sister. Sounds like two peas in a pod! Just remember….you have great worth, and you are a good person and you deserve to be happy and your kids will be much happier knowing you are happy.
Please tell me you're joking about RV, horrible movie, NM
