Here's a random question for anyone:
Would you do one of those DNA test(DNA kits from like Ancestry.com or 23&Me)?

Nope, not in the least bit interested....it wouldn't change my life one iota....no matter what the results their computer spits out....reminds me of the fair days when they had ya sign a card and fed it to a computer that spit out a fortune or what your signature revealed......

Hopefully it's not a severe storm. Camping + cold weather + storm = not fun.

Crossing a large bay during a storm = not fun!

Yeah.... luckily it has been holding off... just threatening.....

So ... hopefully they are now fully across.

absolutely.
Been meaning to, tho not necessarily thru Ancestrydotcom.

I'm naturally curious about all things and like to be as informed as possible, and it wouldn't change me but then, it's purpose isn't to change who WE are, but many I've talked to are afraid of having this done. Their reasoning is usually, that they are afraid they might be descendant from an ethnic group they don't physically appear to be part of.
Kinda hoping I'm descendant from Indians...the Sanskrit/maharah/red dot on forehead kind, not the feather head dress kind or African be my 2nd choice.
I could dig it..maharishagreybeard.

But would be just as comfortable if it turns out to be Gunga Din's poorer cousin...... Insufferable Din..
It would be nice to know what took place prior to the 16th century with my family, however, I still wouldn't be 'identifying' with either of the above mentioned groups, as there has been too much water under the genetic bridge. I just want to know.

I think it is fun finding out that your ancestry is totally different from what you thought it was.

Guess we are all the same "poor" friends...no one won.

Well, didn't even buy a ticket, so no loss.

Up at 5:30 and NOW feeling like a nap If it was tomorrow, I'd go back to bed. But since it is today, can't do that as I need to be at work at 10:30 I don't like the loss of light hours in Fall & winter. Working out there by flashlight is not fun AND it's when fox & possum like to wander and snatch, so hate to open coops early. Often I don't have to but days that I do need to do so, it concerns me. Don't have many around but, a couple seen in past.

Guess I'll get more coffee and hope that helps me re awaken.

@Mini Horses I don't like the loss of daylength either... dreading the time change in a couple of weeks... but atleast most days I can do chores according to my schedule not a work schedule. I use a headlamp also... makes chores much easier in the dark.

We could all move down near the equator, then there would be no seasonal light changes.

 

[Latestarter]

Right, and no real dusk or dawn either... like the proverbial light switch, on or off. Least here there's a transition of sorts that takes up to an hour. Nowhere near that long at the equator.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Yeh....and the heat and humidity will have ya dreamin' of the good ole days.....cause the AC would be running everyday...
