Most are there for six months, sometimes less. Only about 1/4 of the scientists stay they for the true winter.
Didn’t know that, but it makes sense. The documentary I saw was about one specific base or lab so it wouldn’t have been indicative of Anarctic studies as a whole. I guess I should have specified that before.
compare this to a 2 yr old i nanny part time (dont know the verb for Nanny... any suggestions)
Nanny is the term I’d use. I’ve also heard au pair and governess.
Please no comments about… the choices my parents made... I am me, they are them, I love my life, and I love my siblings just like you do... we all have our differences, but we are also our own best friends...
There’s nothing wrong with having a bunch of kids. Why would you think folks would be upset? I love big families.
Sue (oldest of six with one sibling who "visited" my house a few months ago while I was at work and "borrowed" two digital cameras and my entire DVD collection - over 200 movies, and *all* the seasons of shows like Friends, Frasier, Arrested Development, Monarch of the Glen, Lois and Clark, etc...)
Yep, that would my urge to kill. And I’m sure there will be at least some of that collection they will deny having ever having ‘taken’. Wow, that’s a lot of DVD’s to ‘borrow’.
On the coke as a spermicide conversation. It was studied by Harvard and then several times afterward.
Oh, my gosh! And I bet our taxes paid for this study…
Personally, I'm an only child. Is it any wonder that for a long time, I thought it would be no big deal for Lois and Clark to have 5-7 kids?
I’m an only child, too. And I still don’t think it’s a big deal for them to have that many kids. I certainly think it would be okay with Clark. And I can totally see Lois falling in love with being a mom so much that she wanted a bunch of kids.
