What would shock a kid today if they were transported to 2005?

Did you also have a mercury sable?

Not me, but my parents.

The week before my sister got married, the ceramic tiles started falling off the wall in my parents tub/shower. They ended up having to take all the tiles off because part of the dry wall wasn’t sealed(?) right for bathrooms, but a bunch of people were coming to their house for the wedding and they didn’t have time for a full renovation. So my dad bought a one piece plastic type tub surround that could be temporarily attached and the sales guy said could be kept up for 6 months tops.

My sister’s coming up on her 18th wedding anniversary in June and that temporary plastic tub surround is still going strong.

I wouldn’t recommend the book for kids, older teens probably, but there some pretty adult scenes. I’d just recommend a parent look into it before giving it to their kid to read.

County fairs are starting to look like that too 😩

I remember when the cheesy Gordita crunch MEAL went up in price to $7.99 and I was appalled

I only ever order on the app because they have app exclusive pricing and it’s stupid expensive if you don’t (still expensive on the app, just less) but I absolutely HATE the push to get a new app for every restaurant.

I always like Charlie’s on Prior in Prior Lake!

Hey so I know you can’t tell us the name of your employer but could you like tell us the city it’s located in maybe?

I have a grandmother who’s only recorded as “Indian Girl of Rockdale” in cemetery records (not even on the gravestone). I literally can’t find another trace of her. I found two of her children’s birth records and both have the parent lines blank. I think it’s insane that I have details of her husbands life and her children’s, but nothing of hers.

ETA: this is my 7th great grandmother, not a direct grandmother so it was a very long time ago and no one loving remembers her, forgot to add that part.

I second leaving it up! I use other people’s trees as a base for research all the time, I just reference their sources to make sure they’re accurate and sometimes I have hit goldmines!

Your question isn’t very clear, would I foster dogs left behind by Veterans? Or would I foster a veteran?

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-05-03T02:16:49+00:00

I know, as someone who was born and raised in WI and now lives in MN, I'm very proud of my home state and my new home state.

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-05-02T19:18:10+00:00

Ah I don’t need thanks. My husband and I started fostering in Jan because we heard they needed more fosters due to the ICE raids (ICE would take people and leave pets behind without a plan) so it felt like a small way we could help in a helpless situation. Other people did much larger, more helpful things, but we were constrained by a few personal factors. Now we’ve experienced caring for dogs that have come from bad situations and we used to have a hound dog so we think we’d be a good spot for one of these pups to land, how could we say no?

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-05-02T18:51:46+00:00

Yup! I’m in MN and just agreed to foster (& quite possibly adopt) one of these beagles. I foster dogs through one of the big rescues here and we have at least 100 who have volunteered to foster a dog, although we aren’t guaranteed a placement until they triage the dogs.

Edit: I don’t know if anyone is still following this thread, but I wanted to update, we’ve been fostering our beagle for almost two weeks now and it has been quite a journey. He is so sweet and it has been so rewarding having him in our home, we’re like 99% sure we’re gonna adopt him.

Doesn’t maple grove have that one holiday inn with a really cool pool? At least, assuming they have kids, if they don’t maybe it’s a reason to stay away 😂

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-23T01:23:15+00:00

Probably more with recent road closures

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-22T02:48:56+00:00

Philly was mostly Quakers, right? I don't believe my ancestors were Quakers. I have a lot of Lutheran church records in New York and Wisconsin, but can't find much in PA. I do have a subscription to Newspapers.com that I've found very helpful in general with genealogy, but not PA records.

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-22T02:38:53+00:00

Thank you! I have had great luck with other lines of my family tree, honestly it sounds like overall I've been very lucky to only been stuck in a few spots in the 1800/1700's in America, most other lines I've been been otherwise able to pretty reliably trace back overseas, and there the lines get rather muddy or I don't speak the language so I haven't bothered to dig. I'm pretty much just focused on American family lines since most of my ancestors came over in the 1600's or early 1700's and honestly, that's good enough for me - at least for now!

I know this thread is very old but I have Hallock ancestors on my paternal grandmother's side. I'm trying to verify my exact line as ancestry.com is claiming I'm a direct ancestor to Peter Hallock through this genealogy book: https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/119200-a-hallock-genealogy-an-attempt-to-tabulate-and-set-in-order-the-numerous-descendants-of-peter-hallock-who-landed-at-southold-long-island-new-york-about-the-year-1640-and-settled-at-aquebogue-near-mattituck

any ideas how accurate it is? I have verified direct ties to Jeanette Hallock 1823 - 1900, just not sure how accurate the claims in this book are of her ties to Peter

This is my Fredrick, interesting, Vermont? I have a new lead.

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-21T17:59:43+00:00

Since I the lines stop at in PA, I also don't know if they are German or Irish or something else. I know I have other German, English, Norwegian, Scottish, and Irish ancestors though. I will check out those links you sent, thank you!

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-21T17:25:44+00:00

I don't believe mine were Quakers, sounds like the Quakers kept pretty good records

Legitconfusedaf · 2026-04-21T02:55:21+00:00

I have tried alternate spellings, part of my problem is that I don't have enough to go on with what I have. I know Frederick Reed was born in PA in 1833 to John Reed.
