I would expect you could have your pick of any of them, have a man in your bed every night, have plenty of nice clothes to wear, and not have to worry about any Nordstrom bill.
Yeah, she is missing a good business opportunity...

I live on a barge in a remote part of Alaska. Well, actually, I work here and when we work here, we have to stay out here. Every now and then I escape for a couple of weeks but then I go and buy something extravagant on E-Bay or some such and have to come crawling back to work to pay for it. I fell victim to a certain watch not long ago...

Anyway, here I am. I am not interested in kissing all the boys out here. All this involved was, uh, conversation. Well actually there was more but I didn't go all the way.

The sneaking around is part of the thrill. The only problem is is that no matter how quietly one sneaks, there is always someone quieter sneaking after you and the next thing you know you are the talk of the cafeteria at breakfast.

It's hard enough to be slaving away for E-Bay cash and to pay off your Nordstrom bill without without all this silliness about who's sneaking into your room at midnight. You'd think these people would be fast asleep by then.

ummm....yeah, okay.

Well, she lives and works on a barge, and has to be out there for extended periods of time. It seems she had a male come to her room to get warm. She had rescued this man from the frozen alaskan waters some time back, and quite understandably, he wanted to show the warm gratitude he felt for her. Now, the other people on the barge are gossiping about her because they are jealous. Also they think all kinds of stuff people think when a man and a woman are alone in a room on a secluded barge. I think she is a hero, and I'm exceedingly proud of her. You go--Met, I'm rootin for you!!

When they start jumping overboard hoping to be rescued by her, that might become a problem.

But a little gossip, who cares?

Right, Freddy tried jumping, but he was saved by some shrimp fishermen who hadn't showered in weeks and drank cheap wine. He'll never do *that* again.
