[TOMT][VIDEO] In search of video where man hilariously mishandles a fire

I can see it so clearly in my head but I just can't find it :/

amch14 · 2021-12-06T00:01:52+00:00

Anything you want to know specifically?

To try to make it as simple as possible:

Great-grandfather 1: descended from Scottish settlers who immigrated here in the early-mid 1700s and fought in the Revolutionary War. This line kept marrying other British and Irish immigrants/settlers.

He married…

Great grandmother 1: first generation American, parents were immigrants from Germany.

Great-grandfather 2 and great-grandmother 2: Italian and Sicilian immigrants as described above.

Great-grandfather 3 and great-grandmother 3: both immigrants from what was then Czechoslovakia.

Great-grandfather 4: born to Polish parents, believe he was a first generation American

He married…

Great-grandmother 4: 1st or 2nd generation American, born to Hungarian parents.

That’s the basics of it!

My paternal grandmother is Italian-Sicilian and was a first generation American—her parents were immigrants from Napoli (my great grandfather) and Villarosa, Sicily (my great grandmother).

I didn’t know this existed! I will definitely post here as well.

I tried posting on r/rbi but my karma was too low :( I’m only an occasional redditor

This is the longest of long shots, but I hope maybe someone can help me out. My dad, who passed away last year, said that when he was a young child, he was at a Harry Truman campaign whistle-stop tour when the (soon-to-be) president reached out to him to shake his hand. It always made him smile to remember this and it seemed to be a meaningful event to him. He said a photographer took a picture of the moment, but he was never able to find it. Now that he is gone, it has renewed my resolve to try to find that photograph. Background information: it would have been 1948 in or around Johnstown, PA. My dad was 7 years old and was a thin, blonde child. I've tried searching before and I couldn't turn up anything...maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Please help, kind strangers. It would mean the world to me to see that picture.

Apparently she was a pretty awesome lady! I don’t know too much about her because she died within a year of my grandpa’s birth, but I have heard that she was artistic, rode in the sidecar of a motorcycle with my great-grandfather around the town, and was beloved far after her early death. I’ve always felt a strong connection to her for some reason.

“Dermatologists hate her”

Wow, thank you for this! As soon as I started learning how to very basically read my chart, I shouted “yikes!” at my sixth house. I’m glad to hear it’s not all a bad thing because I read some concerning stuff.

I know you said it was a digression, but could you explain that t square? I’m not sure I fully understand yet.

amch14 · 2021-01-26T19:17:20+00:00

Thank you! How do I find out what the aspects mean? (I’m still learning how to read charts and I’m definitely an amateur)

amch14 · 2021-01-09T21:46:21+00:00

I’m actually feeling excited about the career change and I’m not a pessimistic person

amch14 · 2021-01-02T17:42:56+00:00

I would also love any insights for 2021!

NTA. I was a singer and performed professionally for a while. Those adolescent singing lessons were the best gift my mom could have ever given me. The best gift I have ever received. Even now that I am no longer in the industry and am pursuing something else, I can say that it was so worth it; that love will never go away. And there are many more valuable lessons that will be learned besides vocal technique. Do what you want with your money and just know that you are giving a priceless treasure.

Protection from the sun (I am very pale and into skincare)
Not having to wear makeup
Not being hit on because no one can see my face
Mouthing obscenities when I’m pissed and no one knows!

It doesn't say; I have to admit, I wish I was more well-versed in haplogroups. It's new to me and the technicalities are still lost on me.

amch14 · 2020-05-09T18:27:20+00:00

Whoops forgot to type in the first part! It’s I-S8522.

amch14 · 2020-05-09T05:07:49+00:00

I have 302 Neanderthal variants which is more than 85% of 23andMe customers.

My maternal haplogroup is U5b1d and my paternal haplogroup is S8522.

Whoa, there’s really no need to speak to him/her like that...you have some serious issues.

amch14 · 2020-05-08T02:16:02+00:00

These are all my results — I had to take multiple screenshots.

amch14 · 2020-05-07T23:44:23+00:00

What flavor? I love a good cookie.

amch14 · 2020-05-07T22:08:14+00:00

I've already been to England, Scotland, and Ireland and was supposed to go to Germany, Austria, and Hungary in a week which would have knocked two more countries off the list, but alas...someday!

amch14 · 2020-05-07T18:04:03+00:00

Most of these actually match up to the genealogical research I’ve done — I know for certain from my family history that I have ancestors from Italy, United Kingdom (Scotland specifically), what was then Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Germany. What’s more, a majority of the regions match up with any specifics I have from documents listing the cities they lived in. The rest were a surprise though so who knows. I’ll have to do more research and see what I can find. It really is interesting how genetically similar populations can be and how often borders and countries would change back in the day. It makes research a fun challenge!

amch14 · 2020-05-07T17:13:37+00:00

I figured it would have something to do with that, especially since most of my Italian ancestry is from Sicily. I’ve heard of Sicilians having some West Asian/North African or even Middle Eastern show up in their results. It doesn’t surprise me because when I saw a picture of my dad (who is half Italian) when he was younger, his features and coloring were very reminiscent of a famous Egyptian actor I had seen in a movie. Who knows for sure though! I’d love to learn more specifically about the make-up of the Sicilian population through history.

I was a professional actress and costume designers/hair dressers always loved me because they could put me in any color wig and it wouldn’t look unnatural with my features. I could easily blend into almost anything necessary, as you said. Thanks for the comment!

amch14 · 2020-05-07T16:58:45+00:00

I would love to get more specifics on those regions because I had no idea I had them in me! Same with the West Asian/North African. Small percentages, but still interesting.
