I'm so very happy for sj and Teacup Guy that I just have to x-post my congrats to her over here. YAY!
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

The status is NOT quo.

Honestly, I'm doing the best I can, but I feel like I'm inadequate for this particular job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sarameg, you're not inadequate. You're helping. No one signed you up for this. Every bit is extra, and I believe you'll do it as well as you can.
My sister and I are 9 plays into a Scrabble clone. 1/3 of those plays were rack-clearing words.
Okay, dinner. I think I have leftovers around here somewhere.

I'm confident doing the math and science and social studies and even english. Frankly, mental health lectures are something I don't want to accidentally give bad info on. Too important to people I care about, you know? I only hope that by making the connection to my cousin, it opens a new road for the teacher (it did for a different teacher and my work.)

I think your errors will be better than some of the "right" information about mental health. Dude, at least you know it's a minefield.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Congrats on the engagement! And, hey, tow trucks can be romantic-- that's where my cousin met her husband of many years!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How far back have various people gotten with their ancestral tracking?
I've got one line back 16 generations, to a Thomas Culton who lived (b. 1480) and died (d.1524) in Beeford, Yorkshire. I have a bunch of lines that go back ten to twelve generations.
One of the best things I ever did was post my family tree online. It has generated an incredible number of contacts over the last nine years, and prompted several branches of my family to record and preserve family stories, photos, and documents that would otherwise have been lost.

I need to put my genealogy back online, but I can't afford another website. Maybe I can find a free hosting aimed at genealogy.

I'll hope.

My dad has traced one line back to the 1400's, and another line, the Sallee's, back to, I think, the late 1600's? 1700's? Anyway, whenever the Heugnots (sp?) were around in France.
The only geneology that sticks with me is a crazy French Heugnot ancestor, Jacob Sallee, who evidently used to stand up in church and scream that the preacher/priest/whatev was in league with Satan.
Either he was all crazy or a demon-hunter, but I gotta admit, I got a soft spot for ol' Crazy Jake.
