Participantjust wondering how big is the lawn for $180 per month.
and does he do other things such as trimming of trees and bushes and clearing of weeds as part of his job.
I suppose if he does, he could have come and done the other things even though he could not mow the lawn.

Participant[quote=njtosd]Has anyone on this board ever heard of the Marshmallow test? Here’s an article from the New Yorker that describes it in more detail: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/18/090518fa_fact_lehrer?currentPage=2
The gist of it is that 4 year olds were subjected to an experiment where they were offered a treat (cookie, marshmallow, etc.). The researcher told the child that he/she was going to leave the room, but if the treat was still there when the researcher returned, the child could have two of the treat. This was a basic test for delaying gratification. For various reasons, the researchers followed up with the test subjects much later in life and found that the kids’ ability to delay gratification hadn’t changed much over the years. Furthermore, the ones who had been able to resist the treat until the researcher returned were much more successful in life overall (higher achievement, higher SAT scores, etc.) This suggests that will power is established early on, important to a variety of life’s challenges, and, in my opinion, may well be inborn.[/quote]
did the kids that fail the test become obese alcoholics? =)

Eveyone up here in Sky Ranch is very excited for the quick commute going West!!

I do believe that everyone is excited. Although I do fear you’ll end up seeing all these excited folks stuck next to each other on the 52 west.
