Things you wish you could say

Honest, what does an anthropologist study?

They study humans of both past and present society. They focus more on things like cultures and languages, where as archaeologists focus more on physical things like buildings.

People. There are traditionally four subfields within the discipline of anthropology. Human evolution (ie primates and early human ancestors), archaeology (ie old buildings and objects used by humans in the past), cultural anthropology/ethnology (modern human societies) and linguistics (languages).

Thanks!

Oh boy. Linguistics is the only one I had right .

Paleontologists study and dig up dinosaur bones. A lot of times they work very closely with archeologists(sp?) My son has known he wants to be a paleontologist for seven years, and he is only 9! The other day, he was trying to figure out which college to go to

One of my best friends wanted to be a veterinarian since she was four. She just semi-retired after almost 45 years of practice!

On the other hand, I was a systems analyst when I retired. I still recall helping my niece with one homework assignment, a paragraph on what she wanted to be when she grew up.

"But what if I don't know?" she said.

"Go ahead and say so," I told her. "When I was your age, what I do for a living didn't even exist, yet."

Oops, edited my last post to remove this bit, which was supposed to be a separate post:

Here is something I wish I could say, especially to first-time duck owners:
Imprinting doesn't last a lifetime. It's just an instinct behavior that keeps a duckling attached to its parent/protector until it's old enough to fend for itself.

Everyone willing to be calm and patient and give treats has a good chance to make friends with any duck of any age for life, except perhaps ducks with previous bad human-related experience.

Somehow, in the past two weeks, almost everyone contacting me for duck hatching eggs has mentioned that they want to hatch their own ducks so the ducks will be "imprinted on me for life," or words to that effect.

Just because one part of you is causing you pain, that doesn't mean that's all you are. Don't get so caught up in one facet of yourself that you forget the rest of you. You are who you are. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, that's okay.

Don't whine to me that you can't lose weight as you are jamming Starbursts in your hole you call a mouth. And that large iced mocha coffee crap you bought at Starbucks? Yeah, not helping. With your debt or your waist line

And no, you cannot borrow money. And HOW DARE YOU let mom and dad buy you a new car when you haven't gone to work in over 5 years! You are a lazy bum who deserves no sympathy.
Wait, I did say all that to her
