” As long as Bill has the tools out, could he build one for me in a 44 regular? French cuffs and a spread colllar? With a guacamole pocket? The check is in the mail.
Shhh! I told her the check was in the mail. Stop giggling. No, I don’t know if it will work, but you know what they say. Hector! They don’t say that! If they do, then they need to be paddled! Now curl up and go to sleep.

See the colllar?
Ah, you’re still here. Who’s gonna report to us about you and the baby, or do you take your laptop into the birthing room?
Wow!
I’ll phone or text Monkey Face, and she’ll give a report. However, it’s possible I can FReep live from the hospital on one of Der Prinz’s multiple beeber-like devices. He’s always online, everywhere we go.
Thanks!
My dad was awesome, and was the smartest person I’ve ever met. My mother was fortunate to find him. He left me quite an ancestral legacy.
The Gaffer’s “insults” made him feel good, riled other people and made me laugh. I took a page from the Native American side of my heritage and let the wind blow through me.
It works. Besides: My mother always said, “Consider the source.”
:oþ
Yepper! I will be happy to spread the joyful news when the time comes!
I oughta be good for something, besides just sitting here, looking like my cute self!
LOL!
“He left me quite an ancestral legacy.” Would you care to talk about it or does everyone else here already know?
No, I think only TC knows any of it, and barely that.
I’ve traced my genealogy back through the generations as far as Finland, when it was called Kvinland; easy to do when your lines go through the Royals.
I have probably 4800 entries in my genealogy, and that’s just the direct lines. I did the genealogy for my neighbor in Tucson a few years ago, and surprisingly to us, our lines met at the Mayflower! Our paternal ancestors married sisters. My particular paternal ancestor was washed overboard during a massive storm (he was an indentured servant, and was 17) but when the ship rolled again, his arm was caught in the rigging and he was brought back aboard.
It is in the Mayflower captain’s log, so there is documentation, and not just “legend.”
There are knights and ladies, and castle conspiracies, and illigitate children of the Royals and I found myself becoming so enthralled that I began to read all the bios and histories I could find.
It’s something that, once I start, I become totally engrossed in, and it’s difficult to tear myself away. however, the computer chair I have is not conducive to sitting here for hours on end with no awareness of time except for when my eyes burn and I can’t stand up! LOL!
There are still a lot of entries that need to be done on the genealogy, and photos when I can find them, and several personal histories that I will be able to dictate, now that I have Dragon software. I just need to get busy.
However, my mother’s side is at a couple of dead ends due to her Native American ancestors. We know that she was Commance and Sioux, and that by the time of her generation, she was considered “half-breed” which makes me a quarter...just enough to claim!
And then there is my son, whose ancestors came from Russia, France and Germany. I would like to dig deeper into that, for sure, and see if our lines meet up somewhere in Bohemia!
Howdy
I’m one eighth on my father’s side. Can’t find anything about it. Gave up.
What fun! I guess I just don’t know how to search.
Not worried about it, though. I need to figure out how to address our country’s dire situation optimally in my own small way, first.
There is no I'm in "illigitate" because no one wants to admit anything.
"Howdy!", yourself. You will note that I have responded in the same fashion.
I consider it my duty.
Hey, You! How are you feeling these days? Are you snowed in?
We have a cold wind out of the north (must be from you! LOL!) and it makes the wind chill about 26...*shudder*
Take care of you and dress warmly!
Where is my brems when I need them, Cisco?
Trust me when I say...once you get into genealogy, you can’t leave it alone. There is always someone else to look for! Then there is the research...I have SO many books about my various ancestral tribes/peoples/cultures. And I’m always on the alert for more.
Why thank you....LOL!
