Forums are a dying art sadly, our generation is off busy with real life and the next generation is too busy with instant gratification apps. Myself, I often forget to checkback here. I get caught up with work and the everyday stresses I forget anything other than Facebook exists.

Thanks lol I needed some validation. What did you get for an si? I'm a big civic fan honestly can never go wrong with a Honda civic from base model all the way to type-r! They're great cars. Not always a joy to work on hah but still very reliable.

I haven't been on here for a while but I don't have many car friends lol idk thought maybe you guys would appreciate it. I can't believe I did it. I was in the market for a darn civic si  but here she was in all her glory. There's honestly only minimal things wrong with it. It's in awesome shape for a 1997!! Can't wait to shine it up all nice. 😍

I used to be pretty big into World of Warcraft, but like most people I got bored of it. Plus I bought a house where the internet is like 2mbps so.. online gaming isn't really an option anymore sadly. 

I think I remember the boob contest. well that's a memory shoved deep down the vault. I also remember sex/fetish cults. While majority of it was likely genuinely searching for like-minded friends it also felt predatory. Something my teenage mind wasn't aware of at the time. Hindsight is 20/20.  

This is lovely, a wonderful thing to be doing. Affordable prices too! 

I've been hearing about the darn rapture my whole life lol My dad loves that shit, he's been saying we've been seeing the signs for a while now.  I don't know, I don't think this is it yet. Time will tell. If it is, best of luck to all.

Wow looking back at this thread and now knowing what's going on in other countries I'm glad I haven't gotten it yet. I hope I won't have to. 

A sentence in a letter sent out by my province. "The vaccine works." Literally, that was a sentence at the end of a paragraph.. why do you need to even add that? 

I agree @SubRosa, there's just too many red flags.

I sure as hell won't be forced into something I'm so unsure of. I've noticed change in behavior of those who do have it. There's a video floating around of the prime minister of Canada laughing stating that the government has bought out the media. There's also a video floating around of Elon Musk stating that you can control people when you mess with their RMNA. No thank you. I don't want that in my body. I won't treat vaccinated any different, but the vaccinated seem to be treating the unvaxxed as an issue or less than and it's terrifying.

Sad. The bull is not a pet? Such is life. Will you do the deed or pay someone else to step in? 🦊

I have someone coming but I'll be around I just don't know how to do the slicing part I rather a professional help me out. It doesn't bother me but I understand it does bother some. I've grown up in farm area though so I've grown desensitized to it.

Wow, I’m both impressed and jealous 🦊

aha thanks! It's a lot of work but also a lot of fun. I've since added  8 chickens and a goat, she hangs out in the yard with me all day.  I'm also getting a bull in a couple months.

that sounds awful! There's talk of another lockdown coming in the fall. Everyone is over it and politics are dividing communities. What an awful and scary time to be alive right now.

Not yet, waiting it out.. see how everyone else does first lol I'll get eventually.

In the past, I was very soft with family and with so-called "friends" who looked down on me. I ignored their mistreatment for fear of losing social advantages, for the terror of being alone, and, most stupidly, that they would think the worst of me.

 

In particular, I will tell very little about what I lived with my father, the cruelest person I know. As I grew up, I questioned his parenting methods and the worldview he wanted to impose on me. Especially his physical assaults; his violence against me and my family. For years, I tried to dialogue with him, however, I learned that, unfortunately, there are people for whom reason is not enough. I was able to get him to leave us alone by returning the violence that for years he deposited on me. He hasn't bothered us again. From then on, I was regaining confidence in myself and I was getting rid of dozens of toxic links. I do not have the support of my father or any of my relatives. My life is not easy, I accept it, but the peace I experience is worth it.

My case is an extreme one, I do not advocate in favor of violence. Maybe yes in favor of healthy insolation. Not all people want to reach a peaceful consensus. And that one must learn to recognize.

Distance and the acceptation that some people never learns keeps away unnecessary problems.

 

I do believe you are right. There is just no reasoning with this woman, when I bring my concerns up she gaslights me and tells me I remember it wrong. The empath in me wants to fix the relationship with her as I understand that she has been through a lot in her life. Unfortunately she just doesn't (and refuses) to understand how she acts is toxic and takes a toll on those around her. I just cannot bare the weight of her negativity any longer and I guess in a way I will mourn the relationship as I did gain some life knowledge from her before things went sour. I looked at her as another mother at one point. Dare I say she has narcissistic tendencies, she knows how to make me feel bad for her to the point I cannot answer the phone anymore because the entire phone call is about how I should feel sorry for her but no where does she take ownership of her actions. It's sad it has to be like this but it's for the best. I hope one day my daughter will understand why I had to cut off contact. 

Nope. I haven't decided what I believe, I'm pretty spiritual. But I definitely don't believe in the bible and god/jesus. To each their own I don't care what others believe in as long as you're a good person is all that matters to me.

Seems lie the site is doing alright in regards of activity I just have a bad habit of not coming back for a few days at a time  Everyone remember to come back!

Awesome. Did you name your new friend?

The name she came with is Willow. I don't feel like it suits her though but she seems to respond to it though so Willow it is! 

So I added a goat to the farm yesterday..

That's awesome! How did you ever decide to rebuild a Model T? How did you get it? I'm sure it has a lot of history behind it!

ragnarok , I've just started but I like the link to Norse mythology

I was able to find the grandmother I am named after, but it only shows her being married to one person and only having 1 child.

Which is very incomplete. I am not sure why there is so  much information missing. 

Hmm I think there is more you can search with the payed service but there are some holes you'll have to fill in. It wouldn't find my grandfather who I know nothing about. I had to search obituaries to get bother/sister names of him. Then once you start filling in the more immediate generations it suggests parents to those and so on it gets easier but search carefully, it's not a perfect system but it definitely helps. I've used some outside sources to fill in gaps or confirm relatives.

I started trying to fill out my family tree, but I keep running into dead ends. I can find certain people, but most are missing. I think I am gonna one day have to go the "paid" route to find everyone. 

Yes I had to pay for it, my boyfriend gave me 6 months. It's so expensive.

I wanted to do that but have yet to find the courage to do it. I'm afraid to find out the true me. Now, did you order the kit online or how did you get it done?

I got it online from Ancestry, it was pretty simple. they send you the kit, you spit in the tube and send it back. I think it took about 6 weeks to get results, apparently science takes time lol

 It's hard for me to say that I basically come from colonizers. But I believe it to be true. The timeline adds up as well as the locations. Now there is 1% native on there and that comes from one woman who a man in my family married. The story says they ran off to be married and the man of my family was shunned because interracial marriage was looked down on back then. I was worried about this, was this a willful marriage? Was she bought from a residential school or stolen? My father confirms the story how he has been told it that they willfully ran off together. I'm skeptical but hopeful. I do not claim any hatred that my ancestors have likely put onto indigenous or people of color. I am teaching my daughter to treat everyone with equal chances and fairness. The best I can do is do better, break any generational curses and just make the world a better place in general.

So I nose dived into making our family tree, I have the family name back to the 1600s and found some information from 1068 with our name in it! I think it's pretty cool. I did the DNA test, I'm mostly from England, Scotland and a little bit of Norway so that's pretty cool!  I really want to learn more about Scotland's history and lore I've always found it interesting. 

Anyone else a genealogy nerd or have cool stores to share?

I really like history, there's some cool stories about my family to be recorded that I don't want forgotten with the next generations.
