Re: Sealing Cancellation

I can empathize with your mother's pain. When dealing with sealing cancellations, the whole thing is a big mixed mess, and it can go both ways. I have a friend who went through the wringer. His wife was ULTRA-ULTRAL-ORTHODOX, and also filled with hate and judgment she is unaware of because of her p...

Re: Genealogy is kind of fun now!

I caught the genealogy bug for a little while after my enlightenment to the truth about LDS-Inc. Then I learned about my G-G-Grandfather marrying 16-year-old girl s when he was 50 years old. And... That killed my genealogy bug. I really don't want to know any more. :| Yeah, that would put me off,to...

Re: Genealogy is kind of fun now!

This is so true. I had very little interest in geneology before and now I find all the stories fascinating, even to the point I have done some pretty serious DNA testing to find out more. I could probably take a family history consultant calling without much angst. I just would be more interested i...

Re: Genealogy is kind of fun now!

A week or two ago, I launched a little thread about family history and I mentioned how fun and interesting these stories can make holidays. You're ancestress sounds like she was involved with bootleggers. That's my guess, anyway. I hope you write up her story for us. Another thing I like about fami...

Re: Soundtrack of the NOM

New A Perfect Circle video for their latest song. I like the fact it's a very basic video that makes you really think about the lyrics. I love the song more each time I listen to it.

Re: Genealogy is kind of fun now!

I agree. It's actual people and lives and stories. Not just BMD (Birth, Marriage, Death) records and taking names to the temple that have had their ordinances done six times. Exactly! I really feel like I've spent the last couple of months living in '20s, '30's, and '40's Los Angeles. Most of the a...

Genealogy is kind of fun now!

Since my Dad passed away earlier this year my sister has been adding a lot of photos she found in the 'rents house to Family Search. So I finally gave in and joined up mainly because I want access to all these photos. I connected to my husband (NeverMo) and his parents which populated a huge tree, a...

Re: What are you drinking right now?

It tasted like I had licked the bottom of an ashtray. I find Laphroaig to be more day after bonfire smokiness and Ardbeg more ashy smoke personally. At any rate, the most common advice is not to dive deeply into the peat end as a newbie. Advice I ignored but I started with a 50 ml bottle so I figur...

Re: What are you drinking right now?

I picked up a bottle of Ardbeg 10 YR to accompany the Laphroaig 10 YR I've got. I may be addicted to peat. My husband ordered a Laphroaig one time. He was quite happy with it and had me try it. It tasted like I had licked the bottom of an ashtray. Serious inquiry, how do you do it? I am not a whisk...

Re: Need your suggestions

Tucson I had no idea that Tuscon was that big of a city! You are right, lots to do, cheaper housing, beautiful area, but whats going on with the crime rate? Is this just in a few areas of all over the city in general. I am getting my info from this website: http://www.areavibes.com/ The crime rate ...

Re: Need your suggestions

Tucson Medium sized city, air quality is good, good medical facilities, pretty diverse, can get a decent house in a good area for under $250k if you don't expect to have a big yard. Not quite as hot as Phoenix and we get awesome monsoons during the summer and occasionally snow in the winter. The mou...

Re: End of Summer Confession Time

Not just for summer, but life in general. I've thrown enough empty Costco Spiced Rum bottles in the recycle bin to have made an awesome glass block wall with a cool sailing ship graphic on each block. Maybe I'll start saving them to rebuild my greenhouse if I can find instructions on how to cut the ...

One thing that did annoy me was the church's call for volunteers, but no females. I, as a woman, am just as capable of hauling debris as anyone. But, that's just me.
Really, they said no females? *facepalm*

Cool!

I tried to go to the Idaho highway webcam page to see just how dark it was. They were all disabled! Jerks! At least the Wyoming ones was working.

JS Claim to King David Lineage?

Where can I find info on Joseph's claim that he was descended from King David? A family member was asking me today about the DNA test that I did and how we are somehow related to JS, therefore, since he was related to King David, as was Jesus, well, we are related to Jesus. I'd also like to respond ...
