Very cool, Consuela!
ltc is back at school today and I’m reorganizing, decluttering, and listening to an audiobook that the live app will automatically return in two days. And I just listed a couple things on the mom group.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When I was a little kid I had all 4 grandparents, 2 great grandparents and 1 step great grandparent alive.
Same, minus one great-grandparent. It's weird when I think about my last living grandparent not being a blood relative (my dad's mom remarried when her kids were in their late teens/early twenties, so he wasn't exactly my dad's stepfather but he's been my granddad my whole life).

So my big brother had an editorial in the NYT today. Wild!
Ooh! Link?

When my kids were little, they had all 4 grandparents (still do), 4 great-grandparents, 1 step-great-grandparent, and 1 great-great-grandparent.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Wow. Were you able to get a 5-generation photo?

Wow! A great great is impressive to me, I have some long-lived family but apparently they all had kids on the older side—I had a great grandparent on each side who lived to be about 100…but I was 2 and 4 when they died! I have pictures of me with them (and in one case, her journal of chopping wood for her stove and such in her 50s!) but no memories.

Papa was a step great-great grandfather when he passed but he was 10 years younger than my grandmother when he married her and she had my aunt young. So, that helped.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I barely know the names of my great great grandparents. In fact, I don't know all their names but I think they are written down somewhere. And what I know of their lives seems very remote.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I barely know the names of my great great grandparents. In fact, I don't know all their names but I think they are written down somewhere.
Yeah, I definitely don't. I barely know my great-grandparents' names! But my uncle and aunt are active great-grandparents in their mid-70s.
So my big brother had an editorial in the NYT today. Wild!
Wow!
I just wanted to let y'all know that I printed the Army Corps of Engineers cat calendar and it is adorable. I'm very pleased.
Same and same.
We have an admission date for Mr. S to go into residential placement.
I'm glad you're moving forward Sheryl, and hope this works out great for all of you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've been actively researching my family genealogies for 25 years now. I have at least basic information on 30 of my 32 3-greats-grandparents, and 38 of my 62 4-greats-grandparents.
Finding out (and getting confirmation of) why I have only a maximum of 62 in that generation, and not 64, was...an awkward endeavor.
