Fur or Faux?

<r>Hi All<br/> <br/> I don't wear fur, but what should people living in REALLY cold places do? I mean, in places where it regularly gets to 35 degrees and more below freezing, and if their work or life requires them to be outside for long periods of time? What do they do? (And don't say "move" <E>:)...

Would You Rather ?

Hi All

Yeah, I'd go for the whale - I just LOVE sushi, and this would be great way to go. (It would help if there was a good dry white to go with it).

Finland's the place

Hi All

Yeah, I know about the joke about Helsinki, but, really, if you want a calm and relaxing holiday (and very reasonably priced), then Finland is the place - preferably not in their winter, though.

A wide variation in a herd means that, if a really bad disease strikes, then at least some will survive - just as a some people survive the large flu or plague epidemics.
