That must be such an exciting moment!

I could have done with this 2 years ago when I was researching how different native tribes lived. I only learned about the Lakota/ Sioux when I was at school and I want my students to know much more than I did. I learned so much! Really grateful for all the Native Americans who have shared their history, culture and…

Tongue as a hairbrush! That always my kids’ favourite fact when I teach about the Lakota in our Native Americans topic.

Thanks for the links- really interesting to read. The BBC had a documentary last year* some time about lost cities in Central America, which I’m pretty sure used lidar. Can’t remember who presented it.

I’m in Qatar. Used to happen loads here, but I just hang up, block and forget. Maybe it happens all over the Middle East?

I’m a history teacher. I teach in secondary schools- currently internationally, previously in the UK.

Infer and imply have different meanings. And I would expect someone who has been to uni and trained as an attorney to understand that the meanings of words are important.

It’s up to you whether you pay a fair wage. In the UK, I paid my cleaner minimum wage plus £3 per hour, plus holiday and sick pay. The pay goes up with the rise in MW.

And you’re performing a social duty too- providing employment for someone else!

My friend was very ill with anxiety last year, to the point where I thought she might end up sectioned.

Get a cleaner. If you both work full time, you don’t want to spend time cleaning the house.

This is the first time EVER I’ve posted on the open thread on the day it was posted.

A colleague told us instantly. About 8 days. It was the longest pregnancy ever! We had daily updates. For 9 months.

In the UK, my GP would only give me 6 months max so that I would have to go back for health checks to make sure it was still safe to take it. Maybe that’s why?

Sandi has been a stalwart of British TV for decades. I’ve been surprised how many people I’ve met who think she’s just done QI and is like Stephen Fry.

That is a beautiful and perfect explanation.

This is really expensive! It’s £1.98 a bottle in Superdrug - works out at about 2 dollars 50.

I wouldn’t bloody know about RR coz I wasn’t allowed to see him!

I don’t know about the drifting, but we do tend to think of all Americans living in huge houses. Especially compared to our Victorian terraces.
