'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Is there an analogy to meet cute for wedding proposals? Well, I guess you just call them a cute wedding proposal.
My sister just left me a snarky voicemail about some hookup of mine appearing on TV tonight. She should be planning her next bingo, not taunting me. I'll learn her, one of these days.
connie, I use WorldConnect [link] at Rootsweb.com [link]
It's free, even after being taken over by Ancestry.com.
eta: I put the link to my tree back in my profile.
Wow. I went digging around for my dad'd geneology stuff on the web (he uses/used Family Tree Maker) and I found me. Note the use of the word "was":

More About Erin Elizabeth: Baptism: November 14, 1982, Woodson Chapel Christian Church2 Ethnicity/Relig.: Christian
My baptism date! That's crazy! I was 10?! So weird...full immersion in a tub at the front of the church. We had a special permanent "grotto" for baptism.
I remember it pretty vividly, although I am not at all religious. I wore a swimsuit under my white robe, and a swimming cap.
Hee. Funny!

Ah yes, spoken like a true sibling... that said I'M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE!...and am a little bit on the drunk side...d-oh
Ooh! It's genre bingo on BBCA tonight. You need to crossover between Heroes and BSG, use Jamie Bamber and Sendhil Ramamurthy appearing together in Ultimate Force.
Along with Annie from Life on Mars. Pretty damned tidy, if you ask me.
Congratulations, BigD! Between a best friend and a sister I almost got talked into procreating (kids who are great grandkids of Duke Ellington and not actually raised by me have their appeal) yesterday but I snapped out of it before it was...well, it's not like I've met the putative father. Still. You never know how these things can develop if you're not careful.
My older brother and I agree it's sooo bizarre that our baby brother is the one having a kid first (I say baby but he's 25 now.)
Still I've got this great feeling of accomplishment having done relatively nothing (no pun intended). I think I'll be the uncle that gives musical instruments (read: drums).
Three Grand Slut
Awesome headline:
Randy monkeys wash hands, feet in urine
"So we think the alpha males might use urine-washing to convey warm, fuzzy feelings to females, that their solicitation is working and that there's no need to run away," Miller said. "Or they could be doing it because they're excited."
I almost think that should be whitefonted, but hey, it's science.
Three Grand Slutthat sounds like either a really really strong drink or a card game though I'm not sure which
