My mom was Irish, born and raised near the docks in Saint Louis during the Depression. She might have felt fear and pain; but, you’d never know it. We didn’t cross her due to desiring a longer life.

I think we might be related on our mother's side, LOL.

My mostly Scottish blood line husband (also 1/16th Cree Indian) was pretty pain resiliant. I always thought he had more than the typical 2 to 4% Neanderthal DNA.
