All I've found with FB is it gives my family another platform to not communicate.

TOUCHE.

This is really kind of amazing. I've discovered ancestors back to 1767 on one branch and 1700 on another.

I clearly need to have a family member who's done a bunch of work!

I do have a family tree drawn up in the 1930s (I believe), but it's only one branch, and some of it putters out... interestingly.

Argh, aurelia. I'm sure you told the landlord that, as well.

Jesse, I think I need to share this baby alpaca with Good Stuff followers. IJS.

I think I've just discovered another down side of unemployment: when the weather gets colder, you have to heat your house on weekdays. Hmm.

Since Buffistas know everything....for my dad's 65th birthday the sibs and I are supposed to be getting together and buying him a broken down boat he can restore. Anyone know where (in the DC area) we might find something like that??

Not knowing what you mean by boat, exactly, maybe start calling the area yacht clubs and/or marinas for suggestions of where to start looking/how to look?

So sweet!

On the heat front, my first year out of college, I lived in a rowhouse in DC with two roommates. It was the worst winter ever, so we were home from work for a week or more, in a house that was super drafty, especially on the first floor, where of course we were all hanging out. AND I was a temp, which meant I wasn't getting paid for the snow days, but did have to pay for the heat. The worst.

Also, shrift, I found a *YourLastName* in my family tree, so I'm now convinced that we're related.

Ha. Out of curiosity, I just checked how common MyLastName is, and while it's no Smith, there are a lot of us.

Apparently I would rather *read* Unfuck Your Habitat than actually unfuck my habitat. I am made of lazybones and slothful organs

Interesting place to read . I like the tone better than fly lady - except for one thing. I refuse the label lazy. But that is a big label I had had to fight to peel off.

They don't look like they emphasis routines. That 's been a big thing for me . I get up and do x, y , z and sometimes a . when I get home I do e, f and g. And if I miss a day - because I do these things all the time, there is no heap of stuff, just a little extra.

Our heat is now set to go on in the am if it is under 68 degrees in the house. I forgot that I set it to run a little longer on tuesday ( work later ) and wednesday ( the day I am most likely to be off) . Glad I don't have to think to much about it.

Jessica, my co-worker and her husband are big boat people. I can ask her if you'd like.

I love fashion vocab guides: shoes and bags.

OMG. Apparently, like $ ita $ (I'm not makin that s thing on my phone) I am a bad judge of age. I have been occasionally traveling and working with a coworker. I assumed she was in her early 40s or so...found out today we are the SAME AGE. Oops. (I feel minority better that she also thought I was younger than her, but still!)
