How do people with 6 and 8 children pay for them all? Some people with huge families like this are rich, but many are in poverty. I have insurance, and my daughter's birth still cost about six months pre-tax wages.
Interesting articles about the Donner party and Frederick Douglass.
Kids often ask how I named my reindeer. I tell them
they're named after memories, like when I saw Prancer
frolicking through snow when he was a fawn. "What
about Donner?" they sometimes ask. -sigh- It was
1847, snowfall had trapped us in the Sierra Nevada. .
Happy Friday Miss C!
Happy Friday. gwdMaine!
The story about cutting up the ship in Georgia was excellent, but there was a big bonus for me. At the bottom of the page was a video about running a pipeline by drilling under rivers and things. That's exactly what's going on a half mile from me with the Billion Dollar pipeline through eastern PA.
Thank you.
My wife has the bill from when her mom was born. Ten days in the hospital for mother and child the bill was 32.dollars in 1936
