Did the $99 fee include the test as well?
Yep. I think there may have been taxes that pushed it up to $106, but it was a full-service thing. After you send off the cheek scrapings you can log into a site and track your genomic sample's progress through the typing. It's kind of fun.
Brenda, thank you for checking on vw and letting us know.
I forgot today was a holiday until we were heading out the door. If anyone tries the "Hey! You're not wearing any green!" thing on me, I will stare at them and say "Yes, and? You're going to do what, exactly?"
Non-genealogical question:
I need an opinion on a birthday present for my best friend. She's really hard to buy for, and I thought -- I should send her flowers for her birthday (which is this coming Tuesday).
Now, flowers, of course, can be sent by anyone -- family, friends, etc. -- but are mostly associated with being sent by an SO. She's single right now, and has been for a while, and really REALLY hates being single.
If I send her flowers, will she get all bummed that they're from me and not an SO, or will she like them?
Or, rather, if you (collective "you") were her, what would you think? *I* would be thrilled, but I'm easy to please.
Steph, I would be thrilled to get flowers, but then I like getting flowers from just about anyone.
I'd be thrilled. Get her flowers.
Jilli: gmail was acting up last night, but I wanted to tell you that the Mineral Basics foundation is nice. I'll decant you a bag of it.
I always kind of thought the whole "wear green or get pinched" thing was the Stupidest Tradition Evar! and mostly just yet another way for schools to encourage children to be mean to each other in preparation for a world where the strong cruelly dominate the weak.
If I send her flowers, will she get all bummed that they're from me and not an SO, or will she like them?
I would like them, but I'm a ho for flowers. Maybe send her a plant?
I would love it, Steph, but I, too, am easy to please.
I love getting flowers from anyone -- I say go for it.
I would be thrilled to get flowers, but then I like getting flowers from just about anyone.
I do, too. So I can't judge. I'll probably send her flowers, though, mostly b/c I can't think of anything else. Being friends for 20 years means you start running out of ideas.
