I made the A team in roller derby and my league got into WFTDA--the Women's Flat Track Roller Derby Association.
Yay!
Ancestry.com showed me that none of the thousands of descendants of Morris Tucker, who was first mentioned in 1659 as a householder in Salisbury, Mass., knows where the hell he came from. Some people like to think he came by way of Bermuda, but they just want to be related to Gov. Tucker. As a cousin once said, "I can get him back to the water, but I can't get him on that damned boat."
If we ever manage to develop time-travel technology, it's going to be the geneologists who have the most fun with it.
he had to go somewhere with MOAR TRAINS.
Heh. A lot of the innovations in American computer science are offshoots of Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT. Train people have science brains!
I feel it is less creepy to email someone saying "I came across this info on Ancestry.com" rather than "I stalked you n the internet". Ancestry does not give first names, but their last name is Darling, which is super easy to trace. Just that Mrs Darling (related to my grandfather) actually was estranged from Mr. Darling and was living with some (according to my mom) really hot guy in the late 1950's.

If someone found me on ancestry.com I'd feel myself pretty stalked on the internet, really. And I'd be furious at whoever put my information out there. At least with Intelius it's my own fucking fault.
You're related to Wendy?
I do have a cousin Wendy, but she is not a Darling!
I do love that I have Darlings in my family. I am just waiting for the appearance of Jim, Dear.
Just that Mrs Darling (related to my grandfather)
Or Jessica (I love those books!)
K has had a sore for 2 days at least. So she says, "should I go to urgent care?"
yes, I say, but she has 100 excuses -- trafficy to get there. They open at six. Long wait. She wants me to use our otoscope and check her ear (what! doesn't every mom want an otoscope? Magic for preverbal kids). I do. I tell her it looks red, but I am not a doc nor do I play one on TV.
She hems and haws and doesn't want to go. I mention the minute clinics (which are fuckall pricey). She agrees to that. $90 and $10 script later and she has antibios.
Of course, I also have cipro ear drops which would have been much cheaper and not required a trip to the minute clinic.
Or she could have gone to urgent care.
