I'm too much of a mishmash to call myself much of anything. Definite Anglo/Irish/German/Dutch influences, but both families have been here long enough that I could probably claim anything.
I used to love when my paternal g'father would get out the old family photos and tin-types and tell us who people were. He had a colorful vocabulary, and when he'd say things like, "This is your great-great-cousin Mary who was the town whore," I thought it was awesome.
- sigh* I wish we had a town whore. We DO have a crazy old Heugenot ancestor who used to stand up and yell that the preacher was the devil.
And someone who let Quantril's Raiders use his barn for storing guns and horses.
Um, vw??? Is Emily or Not!Emily there? Can we send someone over?
I'm mostly Hungarian, with the rest Euromutt -- English, German, and maybe some other stuff. I'm not wearing any green. Anybody who pinches me gets a smack.
Nope, not you.
Okay. I thought it might have been, because I remember getting crap from MM for encouraging you, but that may have just been for declaring myself your Minister of Kill the Stupid People.
Argh! vw, can we get someone over to help you?
I call myself Standard white Chicago mutt - Irish, German, & Czech - with a little (and debated) Native American thrown in, and possibly a soupcon of English and/or Swiss.
I'ma kill anyone who pinches me.
VW? You ok?
Oh how I wish I was in Boston right now.
vw, we're worried. Need to hear from you NOW.
I Im'd with VW last night about getting in touch with the VNA (Visiting Nurses Association). I'm posting here in case you've forgotten, sweetie.
Visiting Nurses Association of Boston
Kristin, do you (does ANYONE?) have vw and Em's phone #?
