I also found that the process of dictating it all gave me my mother's voice again. I wasn't reading it like her (unless she had a monotone and e-nun-ci-ated every syllable) but I definitely had her voice in my head as I read. Here is a brief rundown of her life:

Any idea on the child or that part of the family tree? |

The child that she had was my oldest brother whom she came to Australia with.
No idea about the fellow prisoner and his family. I have some addresses of other cousins in Ukraine and Russia but it is too hard with Cyrillic letters to do translations. I only reconnected with family in Poland about 15 years ago. Up until then, I wasn't terribly fussed about family history. I have now become my family's unofficial historian since I kept all of the old documents and photos from my parents' home when we sold it. |

So nothing really exciting to update. We had a nice conversation. Started it off by both admitting we really don't know how to start which was funny. We learned about each other and kept it open that we want to get to know each other but I also made it clear I have a family and am not looking for another one. I think he was really relieved that I was raised about as well as can be. It was fun to hear things from him that I do. I didn't ask about my mom he hasn't seen her in 47 years. He did mention he wasn't sure what he would tell me if I did ask because it is her business, which I agree with. I have been sending him some pictures and the only time I got emotional was when he told me my daughter has my mothers eyes. For some reason that got me. |

The first episode of the Simpsons (Dec 17, 1989) aired closer to the Eisenhower administration (Jan. 20, 1961) than today.

I'm sure there are very precise requirements/definition of what constitutes a mullet, but I feel like some of the ones I've seen border on "hair metal band bassist" hair, as opposed to a mullet. For instance, Fisher Monds up there just looks like a dude with long hair. The top looks a bit too long/shaggy and/or the back is too long to qualify, IMO.

Britney, you look great for 40.
I'm not sure if you are crying out for help, or still really happy about your independence, or looking for a comeback. Maybe all of the above. But if I was you, I'd first begin the process to repair the relationship with your kids. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Chh0F...5-f6f313afa8eb |

If I had a grocery cart full of groceries and someone was in line behind me with only a couple items, especially an older person, I would always let them go ahead of me. Since they installed self checkout machines I don’t do that anymore. Not sure if that makes me an asshole and I don’t care.

I guess Doppelgangers are for real (and not just siblings separated at birth).
You have a doppelganger and probably share DNA with them, new study suggests - CNN Quote:

It makes sense, given what we see from DNA labs that are able to provide a computer picture of what a potential suspect looks like from their DNA. Similar DNA, similar features.

I turned on Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless for some background noise a day or two ago. Hadn't watched them in quite a while.
They were talking about the chance of Skip's Cowboys being the number one seed in the NFC and Dak winning MVP. Where did they come up with this idea? Well.. It was what Madden spit out when EA simulated the season. |

I think if I made a bar chart of the number of times I washed my hair in a given shower, I'd have very few 0s, a lot more 2s than I'd like to admit, and I'm not sure what happened the day there was a 5 on the chart but I wouldn't really doubt it happened, either.

Minor League baseball comment.....Frontier League. I'm a fan, we have a local team, the league as a whole merged with a couple of other teams from the Can Am and the American Association this year and expanded. I was casually looking at the standings and see a team in the East that might have the worst record ever. I thought, hmm, must be an exhibition team.....no.....
I give you the Empire State Greys Current record...6-80 Empire State Greys – Official Club of the MLB Partnered Frontier League Would you like to buy some merch?

I guess the Greys outcomes kinda make sense, they're a league-operated club that plays only on the road, formed on the fly to fill the schedule slot lost when another club folded.
So basically, a team of scraps cobbled together.

Not much of an art fan but I'd consider the pic as good of artwork as some of the other crap out there. I think the critics will have to join the Chess & Go communities and accept it.

There is a guy circling Tupelo, Mississippi in a small plane threatening to crash it into a Walmart. I have no idea why.

Sort of hard to ignore a flying missile that could hit anywhere. Looks like he has started flying further east. It looked like he was headed toward Memphis at one point.

Looks like he is circling a rural area now. He sent out a Facebook message that said he doesn't want to hurt anyone else. Suicide by stolen plane I guess. I just wonder why the original threat to the Walmart.

I clicked on a Tweet with a funny Chris Pine GIF and now my feed is a tornado of crazy Stories, GIFs and Memes surrounding that movie and especially that event in Venice I gather only 10% of this shit is even remotely true (and some body language et al takes are just stupid) but that would still be quite something. Like, there is no way that Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine in a crowded theater with a gajillion cameras pointed at them but after an hour if this craziness i kinda started to entertain the notion that Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine in a crowded theater with a gajillion cameras pointed at them

The Friends main cast are now all older than the youngest cast member of The Golden Girls at the time the latter premiered.

We filmed a campaign ad with our congressman in our back yard. It was absolutely awfully awkward. It aired as well locally and I’ve honestly never been more embarrassed of anything in my life, and I didn’t even have to speak.
