wow is a very tricky word - wow, that's awesome! wow, that's terrible. wow, I'm stunned. wow, you are so very selfish that there are no words for it...

I have given up a PhD program that offered my scholarships, housing, a job, etc. because it didn't work for the family. I have left an excellent job that paid well and brought me personal satisfaction because my in-laws wanted my husband to have a business, which failed because none of them would put the work into it and I wasn't involved in the business because it wasn't my business. They started an oil change business right before the price of oil/gas went through the roof, so it wasn't entirely their lack of work.

I guess my point is that I've made decisions for the past 20 years based on what everyone else wanted or needed. That's my fault, going along, not rocking the boat. So, yeah....I would like to know what you mean by wow....
