What Are You Doing Right Now?

Cleaning bong so that I can start on the right foot.

 

I think I have the most boring ancestry profile in the western world. 98% Irish, 2% English from both 23&Me and Ancestry.com.

Well, maybe not. My mother came back as 100% Irish.

I was shocked because we’ve been in the US since the 1600’s. I followed every branch of our tree back to their entry into the US. The first arrivals were in 1620 and the last (two sets of great grandparents) were in 1911, but as I followed marriages and their branches.....the Irish just kept marrying children of Irish immigrants who then married more immigrants or children of immigrants, etc. Sounds impossible, but not hard to do in Boston. My only English ancestors were the the ones who arrived in 1620.....and their grandson married a Scottish immigrant...but all the rest were Irish. My mother is a crazy redhead.

But after 400 years I finally broke the cycle. I married a Nicaraguan. Her profiles came back as mostly Native American and Spaniard but she also has African, East Asian, Askenazi Jew, and a bunch of others.

 

I'm a bit bored. Not sure if I want to read or watch TV or play a game. I did just eat so I am resting atm so I can fit in some popcorn later.

 

Wow I don't think that's boring. I'm always very surprised when someone comes up almost 100% anything. According to Ancestry I'm 33% French, 27% Italian, 13% Portuguese, 9% Native American and the rest is very small traces of African and Irish, etc. The other sites picked up on other things. Even a little Asian. I'm such a mutt lol

Lol your kids (if you have any) will have a much more varied dna test. I'm now trying to get everyone I know to do one so we can compare. I definitely want my mom to do it because she's on the European side, and I actually contacted my long lost aunt from my father's side and she's now going to do a dna test as well and share the results with me.

 

Your results will change as more and more family members take the tests. They can “fine tune” your results by having more family samples.

My kids came in at 60% and 62% Irish and the rest matches their mother. My sister and I both married into the same family. She has a lower percentage of Irish than me (about 90%) but her kids all average about 70% Irish which pisses off her ex-husband because he thinks Hispanics are the master race. He’s an ass. So it’s important to note - our genes aren’t distributed evenly from parents to children.

 

Dyeing clothing today... sooo... lots of stirring.

 

Why do you do it?

 

I went into too much detail with this answer, then realised I could sum it all up as "I'm very picky about clothing colours and if I can't find the ones I want I buy pale colours and dye them as desired.

 

Hey that's a good reason.

Good luck with all the stirring.
Maybe fisherman could help a lil

 

Haha. He's just gone to overhaul some nets. Fishy stuff. He said there will be lots of bits of chewed up red mullet in them. Looovely.
At least an afternoon of stirring is a good reason to sit around looking at stuff on the internet : )

 

I'm having fun listening to old music atm.
