The removed means generations. So my cousin M is my first cousin, and her daughter is once removed. If I had a kid, it would be second cousins with this new baby
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The status is NOT quo.
If I could get down there right now for the current series, I'd be there in a heart beat!!
Hee! Well the offer stands. Cousin Chloe (who is actually Drew's second cousin once removed, I think) is in our guest room until the end of September, but we have a comfy couch...so long as you don't mind cat love. We also have a sofa bed in the back house, though that's a bit trickier since it's the business office.

WHUT. Unbelievable. thank you for explaining this clearly. But it blows my mind because that's not what I thought prior to today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ooh, pretty color.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had to explain the cousin generations thing to a bunch of my cousins at a family party last weekend. But people there were mostly either my fourth cousin or my third cousin once removed, so it involved a bunch of drawing diagrams. Then one of the little kids looked at the diagram, and figured out what it was, and wanted to know where he was, and I told him that I'd stopped drawing his branch of the tree at his grandfather because I was just trying to explain the relations, but he didn't like that explanation, so I taped another piece of paper to the bottom to draw him in. He's my fourth cousin once removed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Love that, Hil. I will never understand the cousin nomenclature, but I am ok with that.
It kills me that there's a PBS show in the style of Project Runway, but about winemakers. "You're going home. Please leave the vineyard."
Doesn't that take years before they can judge the results? I am boggled.
Ma to your sis, Burrell. Lots.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's what I was wondering.
Also, I would like today to be over, and it keeps not being.
What are people doing this weekend?

The pool was open for basically 30 minutes between storms. I got 29 laps in before the thunder started, and walked onto my porch as the floodgates opened. Eh, 29 > 0. And it is seriously loud out there right now.
I'm going to a country party out at my neighbor S's family home out in the boonies. Her boyfriend's band is the entertainment.
