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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It's anxiety attack Tuesday, apparently. How are you all doing?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's anxiety attack Tuesday, apparently. How are you all doing?

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I managed to go the first 66 years of my life never really feeling stressed or anxious at all, and now the past few months that has all changed. I'm going to say if you aren't anxious right now something is amiss.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Also right on schedule here.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, I could not get to sleep until 4:00 am. Just too many gears whirring around in my brain. I'd be lying there and realize my shoulders were hunched up with tension.
