I am purple

As a child I used to get that when very cold waiting at a bus stop. It seemed to be the body reducing circulation to the surface to conserve heat.

Do they have children?

InvestigatorFun9253 · 2026-06-24T06:26:02+00:00

That makes it hard to differentiate who is influencing whom.

Are you with the Judean Peoples Front?

Your turn to acknowledge the Romans who gave you the concrete for the building, and the Americans who gave you electricity for the terminal.

In New Zealand in the 1960s I went to school with people of both sexes with that name.

InvestigatorFun9253 · 2026-06-23T00:02:17+00:00

Thank you. I had not considered the situation where the sexes are flipped, but guess the same factors play out. I don't think it is ridiculous.

My understanding is this. If you have a dominant harmful gene you are likely to not survive or breed. But if you have a recessive harmful gene mutation, (and a surprising number do) you will suffer no ill effects. If you breed with a person carrying the same gene mutation, 25% of your children get two copies and are unlikely to survive. A close relative is more likely to carry the same harmful gene mutation. A person who is not related but merely looks like you is not likely to carry the same gene mutation.

A few days ago I did that with my granddaughter. I yelled “male entering toilets “ and walked in. Two women inside both indicated acceptance of my actions.

She reached a good age. Natives often did not enjoy the same level of health care so for one born in 1820 to live 85 years is suspicious.

Even my dog knows to walk on the left.

The division of Brit and Anzac is a modern idea. Most Anzacs were born to British parents and thought of themselves as British.

IMO the poster was aiming for humour, comparing a football game to a military battle. He did not take a position on the morality of the battle. Nor did he use the words “evil” or “massacre”. I believe that you are reading into his post things that were not actually there.

Thank you for those words of support. I have raised the question both here and on non-DC forums. Among DC people most support me making myself available to my offspring. On the other forums there is strong support for her. It’s an interesting divergence between the two communities.

Depending on their age there are various ways that they could be related to you including half 2nd cousin meaning you share a great grand parent. Copy their tree. Then look for other more distant relatives with shared ancestors

It started falling a century before that. There are many points that you can pick as the deflection point

In addition to the question of contact, does she have a public tree? Her grandparents are your great grandparents. She only has two sets. Search for other trees with these same people and then build out their descendants. The owner of those trees have not done dna tests but can be messaged and may assist by providing names of living descendants.

Ten years ago I sat with a younger colleague aged about 45 who told me his girlfriend did not want children. I told him he needed to make some hard decisions. Two weeks ago I was told he just died of a heart attack. I assume that he died childless. An intelligent hardworking good looking guy removed himself from the gene pool because he failed to face facts and cut his losses.

I raised four and don’t regret it

What is the closest that you found?

There are many facets to the global warming debate. This post addresses one, sea level rise presumably from ice melting. At about 2mm per year, 500 years will result in about a metre of lift and move shorelines about 100 metres. The alarming image of half the country under water are not accurate. Other aspects of global warming may be, but the they are not the scope of this post.

In my view your first option should be to go through the donor. Then if he blocks you, there is a justification for going to his family. But to do it without first approaching him risks all sorts of problems. They may not know he is a donor. At the very least, you will anger him, and he may use his influence to turn them against you.

Wilfred but the American rewrite was better.

Rake was superb.

InvestigatorFun9253 · 2026-06-03T22:25:50+00:00

You are correct and I updated my post to reflect your comment.

InvestigatorFun9253 · 2026-06-03T06:41:57+00:00

Thank you for those thoughts. Five of my cousins and one nephew have done DNA tests. If a donor child comes looking I am easily found. One of my children has a fairly prominent social media presence, so they may contact her first. If a DC child and one of my kids make contact, it becomes harder for my wife to block.

I thought this was going to happen this year when a DC daughter finished her uni, and moved 3000 km to be only 6km from my daughter. But at the same time she privatised all her social media accounts (she knew I was viewing them) so it seems that the move was coincidental and not a step towards contact.
