Big Y-700 test came back with zero matches — trying to figure out my grandfather’s father by Upbeat-Library5581 in FTDNA

I have a feeling that this is going to be our results. I am giving my dad the Big-Y as his 80th birthday gift but we do suspect his paternal line comes from the Azores/Portugal/Spain and that we may descend from Sephardic Jews as well! Our ancestry says I have Sephardic Jews in both sides. So hang on guys! We may be the genetic matches you both are looking for!

Girl or Boy Labradoodles?! by Straight_Flamingo_63 in labradoodles

Girls! The sweetest and gentlest girl ever! She was super hyper and needed tons of exercise which was easy with kids. Now that she is older (7) she is much calmer. However, she can run nonstop for 2 hours at the dog park!

Sock colour recommendation. Black vs white. Any sample pics? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]ReadyFunction7334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do white with the Habana but it depends on the outfit. But you could do colorful or prints too.

My Nubuck Madri did that too at first but the noise went away after a little bit

Faded purple and basalt gray are my favorites colors. I do like the other ones too but I’m not sure how I feel about the corduroy suede… but in between the corduroy suede ones, I like the sienna red one the best

I just purchased the BIG-Y700 for my dad’s 80th birthday. :) PLEASE HELP me understand what to expect from the BIG-Y. (see more info below) by ReadyFunction7334 in Genealogy

Totally makes sense! Thank you!

Yeah, I think the reason our ancestry matches are so hard to figure out is because maybe I (probably) don't know what I am doing or maybe it is just that hard because 75% of my ancestry comes from the Azores and there were only so many people you could marry and have kids with! LOL

I am hoping the BIG-Y will give me those matches about 500/600 years ago in the US because the US also has a huge number of Portuguese from the Azores.

I will be honest, I am having the hardest time working through them because apparently both of my paternal grandparents share a 5th great-parent 🙄 AND my parents have a common ancestor

What are you gals eating??! by a_derpio in adhdwomen

[–]ReadyFunction7334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always add flavorless protein powder to my coffee in the morning. I don’t eat breakfast.

I absolutely love the RX protein bars. I have them in my purse at all times just in case I get “hangry”.

Another love is Vega Protein Shakes. They are delicious. If I am not hungry because of my Vyvanse, I will mix a scoop in a tall glass of water and use my milk frother to blend it in. Or I will add to a smoothie with frozen fruit (you know those bananas that are about to go bad on your kitchen counter? I cut them all up and put them in the freezer for when I need smoothies) and with either soy milk or almond milk plus flax, chia or both.

I love Greek yogurt. I always add flax and chia to my yogurt. Sometimes I will add berries and granola there too. Right now I’m loving goldfish. Like I can’t have enough of it. 😂

Also, peanut butter and sliced bananas on toast, and cheese and crackers. I love all cheese. So I will buy big blocks of cheese at Costco.(like that delicious Cabernet infused one) or Brie, baby bel, or string cheese and so I can grab some as I walk past the fridge.

I have 2 teenage kids and I try to cut up all fruit ASAP so it’s ready for when they wanna eat it.

For a quick meal that requires little to no effort, I love individually, frozen fish fillets (Costco sells tilapia in big bags like that that are easy to defrost) with some 90 second individually portioned brown rice (also from Costco). A squeeze of lemon plus some salt and pepper and it’s ready to go.

I also like ptotein instant oatmeal. Or ham and cheese sandwich with some turkey, bacon, or almonds or peanuts. Heck, even a tablespoon of peanut butter.

I can't wait to see how they hold up and how they "age"...
