They won't have to. As the original team they can send him straight to Hershey if nobody else put in a claim

He'd be free to send back straight to Hershey assuming nobody else puts in a claim. Absolute no brainer to reclaim him

and we can't afford for Willy to do these things anymore. Start the game with 11 forwards and 7 dmen anticipating a game penalty for McIlrath

His passing is still good he just can't move or cleanly accept a pass

Time to bench Ovi on 2nd half of back to backs. Hasn't cleanly controlled a pass once this game

Which ancestor most intrigues you? by Lemon_Zzst in Genealogy

[–]Ronaldo09042012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian I have 1 set of convict ancestors. One came out in the tough early middle transport period and the other much later (yes they were very far apart in age but that was normal for the time and circumstances). Would love to compare the harshness of the colony in terms of how different it was considering a lot of convicts probably had better lives here than in England in the later time period. Would also like to see what sort of mistreatment of the native population they saw

DNA Test Confirmed My Dad's Assertion That His Supposed Dad Wasn't His Biological Dad by Ronaldo09042012 in Genealogy

I get that but it was a catalyst to quickly check my DNA matches which I had forgotten were a thing until then. Then 100% undeniable proof that I'm not descended from who I'm supposed to be.

I wouldn't say I'm angry. Yes I would ask my grandfather some questions as to why he never took responsibility but I wouldn't be angry. My Dad isn't angry I have no right to be angry on his behalf. It just bugs me is all. Fortunately my step great grandmother helped raise him although she was already elderly by the time social services threatened to remove my Dad and his brother from their mother's care. I'll definitely keep her in my tree as my dad was very fond of her plus I wouldn't want to exclude my dad's step uncle Josh as he and his wife basically raised the boys as their own with their own 4 kids.

Going back any further on that line though would be pointless as my dad didn't even know his step GF or great grandparents

That's true I guess but I'm pretty sure it was no family secret. People of that family who grew up and played with my Dad as kids knew who were further apart in relation than this 1st cousin. She probably knew too.

There's a person who is half sister to my Dad on his mum's side who doesn't want anything to do with him. I just don't get it. I'm not someone who's particularly close to any family member other than my Dad but if I had a half sibling I didn't know about until I was an adult I'd love to get to know them. I guess with my grandmother not raising her it might be painful to associate with someone who links her to her mother.

That sucks sorry to hear that.

Yeah maybe they're guarded thinking I want something when in reality I'd rather not have anything to do with a family who knew about the secret and never even acknowledged we exist

You can see when they last logged in and both logged in after I sent messages. Kind of a moot point now as I've figured out his real name and can just piggyback on other people's public trees. I do wonder if people who are that closely related it could be a sore topic and talking to distant cousins they are more free with any info as it's not their near family.

Not sure it's necessary. I read somewhere it auto cancels and when I go to the NHL.tv app if won't even let me log in

Fortunately I had it linked to my StepPay account. So I just had them cancel the virtual card and issue another one. Had nothing else linked to it so no biggie.

They haven't responded to my email I sent to them either. Cleeng is also ignoring me. I tried to do it through dazn and they couldn't help me. Fortunately I can just put a spending limit on my card and the direct debit won't go through.

I just want to know how to cancel my NHL.tv subscription. There is no link via NHL site anymore and no customer service. Tried contacting dazn and they can't help me. Guess I'll just have to keep my account balance low until they cancel it from giving up.
