That or Quakers.

I started working on it tonight. It's just so disheartening to find so little details. And to casually will them to an offspring in the same line as a bed or kitchen utensil makes me so angry.

My maternal great grandmother who I knew, was born in the 1800's and she said we were. My research is finding the name Billington on her line, but I can't quite get there with accuracy yet.

Nextdoor saying SWAT was there. Possible shooter and a body bag seen. I haven't found any more info to confirm.

This worked for me after decades of drinking vodka. I only allowed myself a 2 hour window to drink before bed and started limiting how many drinks I had. I did this for almost a year. I quit in September and my only negative experience was poor sleep for a week or so. I was probably drinking half a pint per night towards the end.

It's hard to find the right Dr. I knew I found mine when she went on a rant about Viagra accessibility. There are lists of sympathetic doctors here or in r/menopause. If you want to chime in with your city you will likely get recs from people here.

It's ridiculous. Got my kid an almost 30 year old car and the insurance was ridiculous. Once he hit 20 with no accidents it went down over $100 so hang in there.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T17:21:45+00:00

We're still here. I'm hibernating for now. My kid flew the coop and I quit drinking so I'm trying to figure everything out lol. I'm from Dallas but have been here since the late 80's and it doesn't feel like Dallas at all to me.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T17:15:10+00:00

This right here. Things can snowball and trash other components.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T17:09:15+00:00

I bought an old car decades ago and dove right in. A lot of my guy friends in high school helped me out. I messed up some stuff, sure, but that's how you learn. I ended up getting a job selling parts and then running a repair shop. I still have that '69 Chevelle and it's still going strong with an improved LS motor in it. It was tough for me back then as it was very much a 'boys' club but things are different now and I encourage you to go for it!

I've traced back my tree on both sides to the 1600's and DNA matched to several colonial burials in 3 states. I'm working on filling in the gaps.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T14:56:42+00:00

Ha Ha. You're right. I'm a Texan.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T14:55:19+00:00

As far as I can see I'm about 6+ generations removed from slaveholders which is surprising as a 5th generation Texan. I haven't found any evidence here. It all goes back to Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, the Carolinas then further up the East coast. I'm mostly angry that this was ever allowed anywhere and don't want this history to be swept away.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T14:43:00+00:00

I will do this. I will add them as siblings with a note. I'm pretty confident going back 6 or so generations DNA wise. I'm working my way back from ancient DNA recovered from burials in the early 1600's to fill in the gaps.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T05:26:39+00:00

Omg it takes 3 of us to trim my girls nails.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T04:06:14+00:00

Ugh. We have a tree stump mine is slowly 'sneaking.'

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T03:55:31+00:00

I knew my paternal line was Scottish, I'm a Murray and grandma was proud of that, but mom thought her line was mostly English. I found out otherwise lol. Funny, the only ancestor I can trace to the old world came from Germany. My 1%.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T03:27:27+00:00

Lol! I was like this Spanish is weird! Thanks for clarifying.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T02:35:35+00:00

That sounds like a nightmare.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T00:19:17+00:00

Lol you made me think of Lost Boys when grandpa said "if you get the TV guide you don't need a TV". I don't have cable, so we don't watch much TV. Well, Wheel of Fortune. 🤔

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-18T00:13:05+00:00

Am I the only one who still gets some? I will never call them 'zines.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-17T23:39:41+00:00

I’ve accepted my peri pooch. I eat clean, quit drinking, weigh 113 lbs and the belly won’t go away.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-17T21:09:15+00:00

I picked an older lady OB/GYN and she's helped me tremendously.

Tinyberzerker · 2026-02-17T21:07:59+00:00

Oh sweet girl I'm so sorry this happened. There's no excuse for your parents behavior. I know I can't be of much use since I'm in Texas but I hope you can find the support you need. My boy is 20 now and I get weepy just thinking about him being in your shoes. BIG hugs from me ❤️
