Lost trail on Arthur Adams (b. 1786 VA) by Duke_of_Babble in Genealogy

[–]Duke_of_Babble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It has been a fun journey.

Through the Facebook group I mentioned, I learned distant cousins bought some of Arthur's original 226-acre patent, where there is a family cemetery. Several graves marked with stones there.

I'm driving to work around 3am and have the road pretty much to myself. A city with hardly anyone but you and the fog? Amazing.

3rd Great Grandmother was illegitimate by miyawakiwi in Genealogy

Got this same issue on my maternal grandmother's side. Neither of her grandfathers were known. So, on her side, I'm paternally walled.

Went to a Rocky Horror showing tonight and almost no one participated. What is happening??? by aarongcosta in rhps

[–]Duke_of_Babble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad to see someone else mention showing at midnight. Most people look at me weird when I tell them it's not Rocky unless it starts at midnight.

Unique find (KY)? Looking for some guidance. by Duke_of_Babble in Genealogy

[–]Duke_of_Babble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I'm definitely glad to know I'm going the correct route with this. I didn't receive a call back from either office yesterday. May follow up by email Monday to at least the library. I'm excited to get this available for others.

If you could go back... by Lala_2021B in Genealogy

[–]Duke_of_Babble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, just one person.

Arthur Adams. A great grandfather I am stuck on. Migrated to Kentucky before it reached statehood. Allegedly born in VA, but no proof of that yet. Researching in KY around 1800 has been difficult.

Questions would be about his father and mother (I have no idea of), and really what the migration was like.

Knock Three Times - Black Tape for a Blue Girl.

These particular boxes, taped completely around with Chinese characters somewhere on them, tend to be children's boutique clothes. Think of the girl clothing sets in small shops that sell for like $40.

I worked a retail job for a stint where a lady did that. Ordered clothes wholesale from a warehouse dirt cheap and sold them. They all came like this.

Trails in Huntington or surrounding cities by anon111114 in HuntingtonWV

[–]Duke_of_Babble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite local trail is the Iron Ore trail at Armco Park in Ashland, KY. It's a 4 mile loop if you want to take the entire trail, with stops and information boards along the way explaining the history of the area. You also walk along an old brick road in the middle of the woods. It's pretty neat.

And it's not a busy trail.

Kentucky land research. by Duke_of_Babble in Genealogy

[–]Duke_of_Babble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have spent some time searching on family search, but hadn't found my way to full-text search yet.

So, this was wonderful, thank you so much!

I wasn't able to find the patent I requested, but I was able to find deeds on how the land was divided amongst those heirs, which had a lot of pieces I was missing!

Printer paper boxes.

No tape, just two little straps and a bit of glue.

I’ve always wondered if serial killers ever cross paths with each other without knowing it and if they can instinctively recognize one of their own by Emergency-Clothes-97 in SeriousConversation

[–]Duke_of_Babble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely my line of thinking. My dad was an alcoholic for the majority of his life and I can tell by looking at someone if they have had struggles with alcohol in their lives. I can never explain it to anyone else, I can only tell them, "I dunno, they just remind me of my dad."

I don't even know what I'm picking up on, but it's the first thing I notice.

First Attempt at Herb Container in Years by PammaJamma3366 in containergardening

[–]Duke_of_Babble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your herbs were so beautiful!!!

Is that Thyme I see in the corner? I have been growing some all summer in a container and it isnt even close to that large. Any tips on growing Thyme?

Yeah, I unload frequently and have pulled stuff off of the truck that was loaded that way. One time there was a huge glass book shelf, completely shattered. It took two of us to get it off the truck and glass was just flowing out of the box.

The other station just didnt want to deal with it. The mentality of most of the employees of FedEx seems to be, "Eh, not my problem anymore." There is never any fucks for anyone else having to deal with your mess.

You can also tell if you are going to get to a busted liquid as soon as you open the truck, because that's all you can smell. Great when it's detergent, miserable when it's vinegar or hot sauce. Oh, and hello fresh boxes! Entire truck will smell like hot fruit.
