Ever hear of a fatberg? This is Trump:

Thanks, that’s good to know. I’ve thought about putting a note on my profile to let people know I’m happy to share what ancestry info I have- it can’t hurt, right?

I know I definitely gained more confidence in the science when 23andme accurately predicted someone was my second cousin- it’s exciting to realize this stuff actually works, if not 100% perfectly.

I think part of the problem is my knowledge stops at my great-grandparents- I know the original last name of three of my great-grandmothers and that’s about as far as it goes. I’m definitely happy to help in however I can; I just wish I knew more.

Great news. In my case, my closest match was a 2nd cousin who, it turns out, had never had a chance to know our side of the family, due to her grandfather (my grandfather’s brother) abandoning his children when they were small. She got pretty excited when we figured out how we were connected. I’ve tried to share all I…

Yeah, it’s definitely not an exact formula.

I’m not adopted, but I’ve had some adoptees come up as matches on 23andme. Our connections are distant enough- fourth cousins, generally -that I’ve figured it’s not worth their while for me to contact them. From your perspective, would a similarly distant connection interest you?

What those poor newscasters looked like to me:

So frustrating- in addition, I can only imagine, to outright terrifying for you.

Isn’t it? And even crazier, after the guy arrested (and died), they tried to get the manager to start working with actual cardiac patients there! She refused.

I hate how they portray chest compressions as these dainty little pushes- real CPR is brutal. It’s supposed to break ribs.

Yeah, I understand a child can work them- just place and push the button, more or less.

Very true. I’d say it’s more important to learn how to aid someone who’s choking than how to do CPR, as the one has a lot higher success rate than the other. Beyond that, we need more accessible defibrillators, because when’s someone heart is stopped, THAT is what you need, not CPR. Some years back, a patron at the…

I think they’re so bent on appearing impartial they’re willing to give equal airtime to complete idiots to do so.

CNN needs to ban this frothy mix from their screens.

Hey all!

So sorry. There really are no words.

In her case, it sounds like hers may have been functioning at one point- until she started throwing brick walls and cases of scotch at it.

I’ve made similar connections. It’s not about wanting vengeance, it’s about insuring there are unpleasant enough consequences for people who’ve enabled this horror to discourage them from trying it again. I think about a routine I have with my nephew Basil, who turns 3 this week. He loves to come play with my cats,…
