We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thank you, flea. I will try to find out if the local library has it.

Having traced my ancestors back to the Plymouth colony, I find that one of my forefather's other wives' first husband was (most likely) the forefather of a former coworker. Most interesting. And if I were to have to choose coworkers to have a randomly distant connection with, this guy would be on the short list.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've tried to put together a family tree, but the software made it so exasperating it wasn't fun. Everyone could have only one first name and the middle name didn't show up, and it was really difficult to keep track of multiple marriages.

What software were you using? Family Tree Maker is pretty good.

I can't remember, Hil.

The status is NOT quo.

How good is ancestry.com? I have a ton of info about both sides of my family and have always wanted to dig deeper. Is it worth the money?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I like slap disease better than fifth disease... fifth disease always seemed like such a dis.

We can't even bother to name you...

It's like my aunt, who was the eighth child, having no baby pictures. (Once she needed one for school and had to take one of her sister). Well, no individual baby pictures. I think they found one later though.

Which ones do you have? I have Endicotts and Lippincotts and Gaskill/Gaskoynes and Southards. No, the Southards are in New York, I think. I've got a lot of colonists.

In my opinion, yes. They've got a ton of records digitized, the search engine is pretty good, and if you want to, you can find other people who are researching the same ancestors you are.

I picked up my CSA today, and since I'm going to Maui tomorrow morning, I'm now roasting and freezing all of the things that can be roasted and frozen.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm reading a book that includes a lot about mass extinctions and plagues, and the author uses "decimate" over and over to mean "almost everything died." It makes me twitch.
