For some reason, the last sentence leaves me with so many questions.
Muahahaha, my work here is done.
(In the early 1900s, my great-grandfather's cousin had an affair with a nurse from the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. She had previously worked in Sault Ste Marie, and introduced him to St Joseph Island as a beautiful and remote place they could sneak off to during the summer. After the affair ended, he started bringing his wife and kids up there instead, built a house, invited his cousins, they built houses and invited their cousins, and 100+ years later here we are!)
Thanks, Steph.
Husband suggested that someone should develop an app for people who are on several different types of med that all contraindicate each other to work out the optimum daily schedule.
Yes, Dana. I need that too.
I admit that DNA tests are one of the things I'm weirdly paranoid about. The ToS (s?) for all of the big DNA test companies are vague and worrying, and while there are laws in place to prevent workplace and health insurance discrimination, I'm sure there are loopholes.
Like I said, I'm paranoid.
goes back to lining hats with tinfoil
I am for sure paranoid about it. I don't want my DNA cataloged anywhere if I can help it.
eh, I'm not that concerned about it but, since my mother did a bunch of genealogical research, I'm pretty sure where I came from ... although there are a few, um, oddities in there ....
My feeling is that there's not really anything all that useful that anyone can do with the kind of DNA files that are produced by these tests, other than find relatives. If someone ever wants to frame me for a crime, there are much easier ways of doing it. And I'm not all that concerned about an insurance company denying me coverage based on a DNA test -- there are already so many reasons in my file to deny me coverage if that's ever allowed again, and it's not like they can deny me twice or anything.
Also, the MyHeritage breach was just emails and hashed passwords, not DNA info. So, if you've got a MyHeritage account, it's probably safest to change your password, and be on the lookout for phishing emails, but that's about it.

Yeah, Hil is me in this. And hey! I found an unknown-to-me first cousin once removed this way!
