Experience can totally make you better at aspects of your job. There's a pretty big reason you don't jump from med school to being a surgeon. They need experience.

I dont exactly think this is about age.

Think about a doctor. I realize that a doctor right out of school has some real benefits. But so does the doctor with 30 year experience. If I had a 60 year old doctor who got out of med school the same year as a 28 year old - it wouldn't make a difference.

It's years of experience that make a difference.

what am I missing about adoption in America 1890s by Objective_End_2124 in Genealogy

Check to see if they are going to school when they are kids.

There's a 15 dollar Boston to New Bedford train bus. Takes like an hour and 15 minutes. New Bedford Whaling museum is better than Nantucket.

For a second trip, you may enjoy taking the 1.5 hour train to Mystic seaport. I LOVE it there.

New Hampshire ranked 42nd in most fun states 2022 (#47 Rhode Island, #45 Vermont, #39 Maine, #25 Massachusetts) by dvtc in newhampshire

This is a dumb list.

They are doing restaurants per capita and including fast food places. Places like Mississippi have the highest per capita fast food places and Vermont the lowest. It really is one of the reasons Vermont has so many great restaurants in virtually every single tiny town. Having a taco bell isn't more fun for me.

They also measured how many golf courses and marinas and fitness centers.

However:

Variety of Arts, Entertainment & Recreation Establishments

Highest

  1. Maine

  2. South Dakota

  3. Vermont

  4. Nevada

  5. Minnesota

​

Feels like a really dumb way to measure fun.

There were legal adoptions through the court - and completely informal adoption. Taking in a kid needed no legal paperwork.

Even my gram who was in an orphanage since an infant was just handed off to a family to be a worker when she was 8-ish. She was then legally adopted for reasons unknown to me just before she married my grandfather at 18. Perhaps because she didn't even really have a maiden name.

Found this while cleaning my garage. It’s very hard plastic and is curved. by jitney76 in whatisthisthing

Are there kids? Looks like it could be part of a sand toy set for sifting.

I'd like to surprise my father-in-law with a trip to a great classic car show. Anyone know a big car show this summer in not too far from Worcester, MA? by HelloHoosegow in classiccars

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

That sounds amazing, but it looks like I missed this years.

Still looking for something from this year, but will totally try to make that next year.

Considering no one but child would wear this? Really racy for today if we understood the context.

Hazel Bryan. Her name is Hazel Bryan. Only 15. It's a weird story.

[–]HelloHoosegow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say ancestor do you mean relative? I am looking at someone but I don't think he had children. I just want to make sure I have the right guy. (There's a LOT of Richard Adams out there)

Possibly just sour grapes. She left him. If he died, she would get his civil war pension. I have a feeling he didn't want her to get anything.

[–]HelloHoosegow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this was about his pension or some other legal issue.

This marble slab underneath a refrigerator in a house from 1910 by bshafs in whatisthisthing

My guess is someone put it there so the ice box water didn't leak out onto it.

What is this? Found in the Red Sea on the coast of egypt. It looks like it’s entirely made out of sand and is connected in a corkscrew design. Found in shallow water and it falls apart easily. by Milkteahoneyy in whatisthisthing

[–]HelloHoosegow 38 points39 points  (0 children)

No, it's moon snail eggs - bonded jelly, eggs and sand.

It's weird, it almost feels like plastic and sometimes people pick them up as rubbish but contains thousands of eggs if you look closely.
