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.
Yes! That's him! I knew he died in the early 90s, but not that he died in England. I had no idea where he was born. Thank you!
Hil, is there a marriage or baptism record in Ancestry, in Maryland, for Georg Reiter and Dorothy/ea Koch? With a daughter named Sophia Dorothea Reiter, maybe? Edit: I would love any dates associated with that.
Born to Georg Reiter and Dorothea Katharina (in various spellings) Koch, all in Baltimore: Dorothea Sophia, 27 November 1804. Catherina Louisa, 13 March 1806. Andrew Friederich, 11 February 1808. Georg Friedrich, 3 January 1810. Johan Georg, 12 December 1810. Wilhelmina Henrietta, 15 January 1813. Then there was also a Georg Reiter born 20 December 1814, and David Friedrich Reiter born 28 May 1817, but there aren't any parents listed on those records.
Hey, James Herriot lived in Thirsk. Cool.
Yes! That's him! I knew he died in the early 90s, but not that he died in England. I had no idea where he was born. Thank you!
You're welcome. I'm pretty sure his parents were Robert Cornforth and Annie M. Wright, and they married in Thirsk in 1923.
Huh. That is ... one of those things that might fix a problem or might be completely extraneous. Thank you. I'll have to look more in Ancestry at work tomorrow.
I'm picturing pre-revolutionary Russia with a bunch of tanning salons now.
If husband and I think I have a fever, but the thermometer disagrees, how many times am I allowed to retake my temperature to get the reading I want?
I mean, I don't want to have a fever, but it would be nice to have some indication that I feel this crappy because I'm actually sick.
And now I am kind of wanting some kind of Chekhov/Jersey Shore mash up. Despite being largely unfamiliar with both.
Ugh, I hate that, when you're sick but can't really point to evident symptoms like a fever. I hope tomorrow is better, Dana.
Completely unrelatedly - adding the waterfall to the pond was way easier than I thought it would be. Backyard is coming along. Unfortunately, that's at the expense of the front yard which is looking pretty raggedy.
