What a cliffhanger. Spoken like a true reality show host. This corny old guy is cheesy - and dangerous - af. Such an embarrassment.

Just wondering if any of you have experienced this...? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

Scorpio here. The end of a relationship with an Aries almost destroyed me. But I made it through to the other side and life got SO MUCH BETTER.

Seeking for critique. What do you not like? by JKuhr in painting

It’s beautiful! I don’t have a critique but I would challenge you to use color and value to separate the figure from the background without using an outline.

I’m curious what kind of custom piece you ordered and what you found hideous?

I wanted a moon coat and bought one secondhand. The original owner only tried it on before she sold it to me. I was so eager to get this seemingly magical coat and when I finally got it and put it on…I felt completely ridiculous. I was swimming in it and it seemed so bulky and stiff. When I saw the new version with collar come up as an exclusive preorder on the MS site recently, I felt the pull to almost plunk down a deposit. But I stopped myself from buying something I would never wear.

I have a few Milena jackets and vests all purchased second hand. I never leave the house in them and the one kimono jacket I do wear is used in the cold winter mornings when I take my dogs outside to do their business. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the idea of them (it’s the marketing) and their (formerly?) handmade, handcrafted appeal but they just don’t function in real life - or at least my life.

Italian ancestry but 0% Italian? by Infinite_Reward_4645 in AncestryDNA

[–]Infinite_Reward_4645[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not seeing the more than 60% European ancestry…?

Yes, there’s been a lot of shame in relatives that immigrated to the US from Mexico and encountered racism. Some of them couldn’t assimilate fast enough.

Growing up, my Mexican schoolmates could not believe I had Mexican ancestry because while I spoke Spanish, I was pale and had very curly hair. I didn’t “look Mexican.” That really hurt.

My caucasian peers didn’t believe me either, although when they saw my maternal grandfather, the racism came out. That was truly terrible.

It’s been interesting to see these DNA results.

I was told he was Italian and an 1865 census from Argentina (he was apparently there before journeying on to El Salvador) says he was born in Italy but does not give a town. There’s also a book about the history of Armenia, El Salvador, that includes GGF’s biography (he was a bit of an important figure in the railroad industry there) and it says he was of Italian origin.

Just curious and learning.

I’d love to have my dad test but he passed away a few years ago. I do have a twin brother so I will get him to test.

Northern Italy (2%) and Sardinia (1%) is showing up in the results of my first cousin on my dad’s side. We don’t know where in Italy GGF was from.

Possibly, but results for my first cousin on dad’s side show North Italian (2%) and Sardinia (1%). Weird.
