Timelies all!
I have signed up to get a COVID-19 test(the nasal swab test) tomorrow at work. They've been pushing for all employees to do it, so I am.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
He persuaded his sister to take the test -- and found out that she didn't have the same genetic makeup. Based on her results and family history, she didn't have the same father that her brothers had.
Were you basing this just on the ethnicity estimates, or on the amount of DNA shared between the two of them?

Now tagless for your comfort.
My dad's middle brother was his half brother. It was an open secret. But still weird.
I found out my sixteen year old kid can do a spot on Ben Shapiro imitation. And he is hilarious. My kid, not Shapiro.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Agreed with Hil. I was just talking to a nurse who was a genetics expert who had a patient think this, but they had done testing with his sister (he was a bone marrow recipient and she was the donor) and they were really misreading the results.
My half neice came up my cousin on 23 and Me as well. Which sort of makes sense.
On the other hand, my uncle, who I always suspected had a different father because of looks matched me completely as an uncle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Were you basing this just on the ethnicity estimates, or on the amount of DNA shared between the two of them?
A combination of the two, I think. The paternal grandparents had immigrated from Italy. Ex's results showed that his DNA was almost half Italian. Sister's results showed no Italian, but quite a bit of Scandinavian that wasn't in Ex's DNA.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was literally just about to post that my anxiety has shot through the goddamn roof today.

WOOHOO! or something. sisters in anxiety.
Completely related to my anxiety, cross-referencing excel spreadsheets on a single laptop screen on a deadline for your big boss is NOT IDEAL.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, right on schedule then. Yay?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, msbelle, I feel you on the excel. I find myself doing that a fair amount of the time (with and without deadlines) and it sucks every time.
Sorry if I am bogarting all the calm. I think my old friend Denial is paying a visit.
