Right. If she has Native American ancestry, it could be far enough back that it doesn’t show in a DNA test. Inheritance is random, I have a 3rd cousins I don’t match with (about a 7% chance of that), and there’s a 50% chance that 4th cousin’s won’t share DNA. I won’t speak to whether it was appropriate for Elizabeth…

8th grade, the morning of picture day, I had a curious and stupid thought. What would happen if I pressed a sonic toothbrush up against my forehead? The answer is, it brushes away your flesh, and you end up with a circular scab right in the middle of your face. My eternal thanks go out to the photographer who…

Recently discovered Eefje de Visser (was specifically searching for music in Dutch because I am trying to learn the language). I’ve had “Hartslag” stuck in my head for days!

I am right next door in North Dakota (admittedly wayyyy closer to the Minnesota border), and somehow I haven’t visited Montana yet! So I suppose I am in the latter category, I would love to visit some time — but I have no set destination other than making sure to visit Great Falls. My dad was stationed there when he…

Sounds like “laurel” (deep voice) on my laptop speakers, but “yanny” (higher pitched) on my desktop headphones. Pausing and disconnecting from headphones drops the pitch and brings back “laurel”. Plugging headphones back in with the sound clip still running, it stays “laurel” through the headphones. Seems like maybe a…

My favorite are the ones that say “it looked bigger in the picture” when the dimensions are clearly listed, or “I didn’t realize how small 6" by 12" is”. Or the ones who give 3-4 stars and the review is “It was perfect, love it!”. So... why did you dock stars?!

I wish any of that had worked on my old LG G4. While I was browsing in Chrome, battery nowhere close to dead, the graphics started glitching and it shut itself off. Would not turn on, would not reset, would not respond to any input at all. Tried swapping battery, plugging into wall charger (multiple different ones),…

I don’t have kids, but, my experience — growing up, I can only remember 2 times (but I’m sure it happened more when I was younger) that I saw a parent naked, both times my mom. The first I was probably quite young 5 or 6? We showered together and she taught me the patty-cakes song against the tiles in the shower. The…

The candles sold by the case are actually $30 per candle, not $15. The wording is a bit confusing on the site, but it’s $360/case (12 candles), minimum order of 2 cases (24 candles).

You’re wrong.

Huh. I live in Fargo, and I haven't seen any jackrabbits, but from the video clip it looks like they are further south of me. They're so damn fluffy, I think I'd just let them take over my yard if they got up here :(

Sometimes, one of my cats eats his dinner too fast and barfs it right back up — this is exactly what it looks like. :( Ughhhh.

I agree with you! My boyfriend & I are getting married soon (in a courthouse, much to his Catholic family's dismay) after 6 years of living together, just to get a better tax break and so I can easily change my name. We bought a house together this February, which I think is just as big a commitment. The only wedding…

No, the plural of "mamma" is "mammae", not "mammatus". "Mammatus" is not actually a Latin word, just a derivative.
