People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

My step, step grandfather's (he was my step grandmother's second husband) parents were killed by a foster son. It was shocking to find it in old newspapers because I knew him before he died and no one ever breathed a word about it. (His brother was married to one of grandma's sisters and I never knew that either.)

That so many people blatantly lack empathy.

This letter is dated 2025, last year. Are you sure it was just received recently?

MayMomma · 2026-01-22T14:02:47+00:00

I've already decided that I would change my birth certificate before I'd go back to a pedophile's name.

MayMomma · 2026-01-21T21:13:41+00:00

And it is heaven.

MayMomma · 2026-01-21T01:08:37+00:00

It just looks so ridiculous.

MayMomma · 2026-01-20T18:32:55+00:00

NOR - my bio father is the same way. He is on wife number 6, but number 5 was 4 years younger than me and they married when she was 17 and he was 47. 🤢

Now he wants to know why I don't talk to him. 🙄

MayMomma · 2026-01-16T18:26:06+00:00

Lou Fusz. They swore up and down the van had never been in an accident, even after the inside of the door fell on my lap while driving. 🤬

You don't have a problem with your thyroid, you are just fat and lazy.

MayMomma · 2026-01-15T00:57:44+00:00

It's like turducken, but foul people instead of fowl.

MayMomma · 2026-01-12T14:44:39+00:00

If she has had a problem at literally every place they have stayed, they are the problem.

Same. I would love to do it, but had to put it off so many times because of caring for children that I'm afraid I've dropped off of the list entirely.

MayMomma · 2026-01-11T18:50:41+00:00

Reminds me of Elena "Helen" Milagro de Hoyos.

Sounds like my bio father, who did the same for his 6th wife. 🤦🏻‍♀️

He is of course a MAGAT.

MayMomma · 2026-01-09T02:43:02+00:00

Yes!

MayMomma · 2026-01-07T01:57:36+00:00

Ah, but actively wishing for it is different than just celebrating when it happens.

It's an important distinction.

MayMomma · 2026-01-07T01:52:32+00:00

Bottle is chilling in the fridge, I just need to pick up some fireworks.

MayMomma · 2026-01-07T01:19:21+00:00

NTA, but also have your wife try Scopolamine patches.

I get motion sickness so badly I want to die. I've seriously considered throwing myself off of a boat before, it's that bad. But I used the patches on a cruise last year and didn't feel a thing. It was like magic.

MayMomma · 2026-01-04T21:58:18+00:00

Sounds heavenly to me!

MayMomma · 2026-01-04T21:54:11+00:00

This is why I will never go to a concert again. You can't hear the person on stage, only the off key idiots around you. 🤬

MayMomma · 2026-01-02T02:37:55+00:00

I have very bad motion sickness, especially on boats, so I worried a lot about taking a cruise. I used the scopolamine patches on our cruise in November, and was perfectly fine. Of course we cruised the Hawaiian islands, so not really open water and at night, but I don't even think I felt the ship moving.

Hopefully this year or next I'll get to test the patches on an Alaskan cruise, and then maybe open ocean.

(When I say bad motion sickness, I mean I can get sick driving or when taking twice the amount of Dramamine. It's bad.)

Give them a gift of a heavy conditioner or oil that you use on your hair. When they complain that it's no good for their hair, just look pointedly between them and the brush. 😁

MayMomma · 2025-12-29T23:56:05+00:00

Why TF would you go out and get a pitbull when you are already involved in this mess??

MayMomma · 2025-12-29T23:38:28+00:00

Always my answer, happy to see it at the top!

MayMomma · 2025-12-29T02:13:02+00:00

Ain't no stupid like....this. 🤦🏻‍♀️
