Just don’t bother to idle. If anyone gives you guff for not stopping at a light or sign, just give ‘em your best Obama smirk and say, “Laws are for little people!”

And how well do you think that will go over in my black stretch Geo Tracker with the bullet proofing and the blacked out windows??? Not well until I turn up the PA system and tell the “little people” to give me room!

Tracing you ancestry is so much fun and at the same time such a headache, yet you never know what you’re going to find next.

It’s fascinating!

As a matter of fact I recently found out I am descended from Edward III Plantagenet King of England

Oh, If I had the Doctor’s Tardis I would go back and me mt 27th Great-grandfather.

The Plantagenets were a prolific bunch, notwithstanding their evil ways, but if you have them in your history, then you and I have common ancestors.

Edward III had eight sons and six daughters, although not all lived to adulthood.

Lots of them did. They can be compared to the children of Victoria and Albert for their connection to practically all the royalty of Europe and nobility of England.

Just ask me...I have pages and pages that have to do with the Royalty and their multitudinous offspring. I have/had 6000+ entries in my own genealogy.

I counted wrong, Edward III is my 20th Great-grandfather.
John of Gaunt is my 19th Great-grandfather

I’ll keep you in mind.

But seriously does this mean I have royal blood in me?
