jurs, I remember my beauty school days back in 1979!!!! My hair has been every color in the book!!! lol It get better, I promise!!!
I think it's great that you went back to school in your thirties!!! Good for you and I wish you all the best!!!! Who know's maybe one of these day's I'll choose to get back into it. It's the only thing that I really know how to do, and I think I'm good at it, but as you've learned, it's HARD work!

jjrizo, What is wrong with me!!! I'm not usually this touchie!!!! I'm sorry! What a bitch!
Mulan, LB, jurs, myself, Freepeace and everyone else, thank-you for your comments!
*Smiling* Heck I'm just bored, that's all!!! Yesterday I was watching Oprah and saw where this girl volunteers, goes to hospitals and puts make-up on young girls with cancer. I thought that was wonderful. It was called *Queen for a Day*. Anybody see that? I remember when mom and my friend were termilly ill with cancer and I would go everyweek and do their make-up, nails, whatever they needed to make them feel better. I bought them a wig and fixed it also. Volunteering with something like that is something that I can think about doing.

Joy2bfree, I honestly think you are right!!! I think I have guilt about alot of things! My dad's suicide, issues from the borg, when money's tight, I guess it could go on and on. CC told me that he wished I could enjoy being at home and not feel guilty. I do think it goes deeper than that, I do. I think this has been a life changing time for me in many ways and I'm just working through them. Thanks again for being so sweet!

Francois, what's your book about!!!! I'd love to know, and after you get it published, let me be the first to buy one!!!
Somebody, thank you for being so understanding!!! You're right about the whole women's lib thang and people thinking that home makers are lazy!!! It really hurts when people rag me about staying home! It's like the 20 plus years I busted my butt out in the work place doesn't count for anything!!! When I hear little negative comments on me being home, it really makes me feel worthless.
DeDe, just wanted to tell ya that I loved your story about you and your sister doing each other's hair and being every color under the sun!!!! All my friends tell me that they wish I would get back into doing hair and make-up again, they tell me how good I am at it. I wish I believed in myself as much as others seem too. Maybe in time, I'll get that desire back and get back into it. I think the reason that I got so burned out was because of all the personal things that I was going through. My mother was so sick, I was trying to deal with the loss of my dad, my family was in termoil, the whole j.w. thing, and when a woman would come in the salon and complain about the fact that her hair was FLAT on one side after sleeping on it, made me want to knock her up side that flat head!!! I would actually have panic attacks at work that would make it difficult for me to work. I've now found it too easy to sit here at home in my little confort zone and not leave it. Some how, I need to get the courage to get out there and get that desire back, ya know! Like I said, I'm just in a rut, I'm sure it will pass!!! Let me know if you get into the hair and make-up business! I'll send you some pic's of my before and after's if ya want me too!!! When you come to visit, we'll have to play beauty shop!!!

LOL you guys are funny!!!! Red corvett, now that hurt me!!!!
CC loves me being home, and believe me there's enough around here to keep me busy all the time. It's just that I've always worked and I feel guilty because I'm not working! I think society bases too much importance on the almighty dollar and people value themselves on how much they make. I've always been a go-geter, working my butt off....I think I'm just in a rut right now, I'm sure it will pass soon!
jjrizo, I have you know, that I don't just hang around this board all the time, thank you! You can keep your smart ass advice to yourself next time!
this is going to be a little rambling but i hope it makes sense.
i won't use names out of privacy concerns, but it's as true as i can make it.. where i work, i've begun developing very strong feelings for a co-worker.
her shift and mine overlap for a few hours each day, and i see her when one of her duties brings her to my area of the plant (otherwise we work in separate areas).
She's married? Now you know better.....that's a no no!
.
having a tight control over us, the watchtower teachings told us what jobs we could or couldn't have.
did you lose a great job opportunity because of their control over you?
Yeap, I was offered to tour with Charlie Daniels and his band, back in the 80's when they were big. I did his wife's hair and make-up and would have the band as clients also. I turned it down, why, because I would miss too many meetings!!!

We moved to a new area, bought a house in the country to be closer to CC's office. I left a good business *hair stylist and make-up artist*. I haven't worked in about 2 years. We could always use the extra money, but now I find myself in this comfort zone that I don't want to get out of. I don't want to go back to doing hair and make-up. After 20 years in the business I'm burned out. I'd like to find something to do to make alittle extra money, but I don't have a clue of what I could do! I don't have the training to do anything else, and I really don't want to go somewhere and work for minimin wage. Everyone seems to work these day's and it's hard to *not* feel guilty for staying home! Even though I get bored at times, I still like the fact that if there's something that I want to do, I can do it and I don't have to check a work schedule. I also get some ragging about not working. I don't know if it's because we don't have children, and people feel it isn't necessary that I stay home! Has anyone ever found themselves in this kind of position? In a place where you don't know what to do? You like being at home, but feel you're missing something by not working? Can't help but feel quilty because you're not working? Feel like you're in this comfort zone and don't want to step out of it? Could I be going through a midlife crisis! Can I get a passion for something out there? And if so, how do I do it!!!
i went to my first worldly gathering the other evening.
a drunken orgy???
dancing all night at the salsathque?
Same thoughts here on that, what is normal??? Didn't really know there was a normal!!! I don't think it really exist. Just live your life, be kind to yourself and treat others the way the you would want to be treated. Life is good, enjoy it!!!
to whom it may concern, .
i have contributed financially to the cause of silentlambs.org and have, to a smaller extent, even promoted the website.
it is difficult enough to fathom the depth of hurt heaped on humankind, but impossible for me to understand how such suffering can be compounded with injustice, as i read experiences on silentlambs.org.
Waiting, I agree with what you've said! So that's my thoughts on the subject!
