It really just shows the tenuous grasp I have on my family relations.
Oh, I know what you mean. On my mom's side, I have first cousins whom I probably never met (way way older than me, several of them already grandparents to grown children). But then, there are the second-cousins and the honestly-I'm-not-sure-how-they're-related-to-us who are around my age who used to stay with us on occasion during summer vacations and the like, which I don't only know but am quite fond of, so there's that, as well.
[Edit:
I can't BELIEVE we didn't get any pictures together.
Barb, clearly you have to go again. And have lots and lots of fun. Just for the pictures, of course.]
My office chair has developed a list. I fear I shall soon capsize....
Yay for msbelle's toilet!
I have 38 first cousins
Woah.
An Austrian man, Martin Bierbauer, was blasted off the toilet when huge hailstones started shooting out of it.
I misread this as being an Australian man, so I was going to say something about how I know the toilets flush backward down there, but I didn't think that meant OUT of the toilet. But then I realized it's Austria, so that's not funny.
I have a headache and don't want to be here.
And to all Australians, happy Picnic Day!
eta: OK, apparently Picnic Day is only for Aussies in the Northern Territory.

passes chocolate to Jesse
I only have one first cousin. My father is an only child, and my mom's sister only has one son. As for second cousins, they're all older than me, ranging from about a year older to close to 30 years older. I see some of them a few times a year or so, and others I've only met once or twice.
Oh, Jesse, I hope the rest of today treats you well enough that it'd be OK for you to be there.

I have 32 on my Dad's side of the family. Give or take a few.
A few days ago, one of my second cousins friended me on facebook. I see her younger brother every once in a while -- he lives closer to my parents than to his own parents, so we sometimes see him at holidays when he can't get home -- but I don't think I've talked to her in about 15 years.
