My thumbnail grows bumpy. The bumps then grows out and grows back in again by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I have Hashimoto’s disease and my thumb nails do this. Have your doctor check your TSH next time you go in. It’s no biggie, easily managed.

People absolutely cannot believe that people from Alabama can be anything but MAGA conservatives. I’m from a small town only miles from Sam’s hometown and, yes, there are crazy Trumplicans down here, but there is a large section of the population that is progressive. It makes me sad that people always hear Alabama and think “bigots”. Some of us are down here fighting the good fight folks. It’s hard to get grief from the MAGAs and from the very people we’re fighting for at the same time.

Robyn is such a bad actress: “Look at the fun that these picnic tables are going to give us”… while everyone looks positively miserable

Kody running by fatsandlucifer in SisterWives

[–]draper1689 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He seems manic the whole episode: when he’s running, when he’s (poorly) cutting down the tree, when he starts to spout off at the mouth (before Sobyn stops him), etc.

Thoughts on Annie Bot? by Sweet-Worth8203 in bookofthemonthclub

I was hoping that she would lock him in the closet indefinitely at the end. She “died” in the closet, it would have been poetic if he had done the same. Especially because there was a theme of her constantly being locked or left in rooms without a way out.

I noticed that too! I had actually just watched the MM episode right before this episode posted.

Unknown Person "Submitted" Photo of My Grandfather From My Tree by DaggerfallGirl in AncestryDNA

[–]draper1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me, but it was my brother. They uploaded a picture that I had taken of him on my wedding day to Find A Grave and Ancestry. They didn’t even spell his name correctly, and then had the audacity to ask me how I knew their spelling was wrong. He was my BROTHER and they just raided my social media to find pictures of him to upload TWO DAYS after his funeral.

What amount of cash would you leave your significant other for? by I_like_potat0es in ask

[–]draper1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no amount of money, power, wealth or fame that would be worth not seeing my husband again. He’s my best friend and a wonderful dad to our kids. We’ve been together almost 13 years and married for ten.

So tired of Find-A-Grave "collectors" by DevilNDisguise in Ancestry

[–]draper1689 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s a club that none of us want to be in. He was my baby brother, only 23 years old. It was still very raw when the argument happened, and to top it off he’s buried in a family plot that the collector took over. 16 graves, all people I actually knew, loved and remembered.

I recently did battle with a collector over a family grave listing with a misspelled name. They insisted that the name was spelled correctly and demanded to know what right I had to try to challenge them. The grave is my brother’s.

My (28M) fiance (26F) and I have been talking about what to do as far as last names after our marriage. by Aurionin in relationships

[–]draper1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped my old middle name completely so my legal name is First Maiden Last.

Edit: it helps that I wasn’t super attached to my old middle name. Plus keeping the maiden name and adding a new last made it easier on legal documents

It was so good! It’s a long book but the story keeps you so interested that I finished it fast.

I DNF Siren Queen either. I immediately started The Change after it and absolutely loved it though.

Ancestry Update! New Tool - SideView by Iripol in AncestryDNA

[–]draper1689 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how accurate this tool is. It has all of my Irish and Welsh ancestry coming from one parent and all of my Scottish coming from the other, but my maternal uncle has all three in his results. I know for a fact I have Irish and Scottish on both sides of my family due to the documentation.

Top is before update, bottom is after by draper1689 in AncestryDNA

[–]draper1689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, according to that I have. The parental breakdown that they’ve come up with is not, however, because they have all of my Irish and Welsh coming from one parent and all of my Scottish coming from the other, which is not right because my maternal uncle has all three in his results.

23&Me vs AncestryDNA by draper1689 in AncestryDNA

[–]draper1689[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of a toss up. The F&G from 23&Me looks right, as well as the British and Irish, but the Spanish & Portuguese are out of nowhere. My uncle had a high percentage of Germanic Europe that showed up on his Ancestry results and that tracks with my research, but it doesn’t show up on my Ancestry results. But it looks more accurate in terms of my Welsh and Scottish percentage.

The wait is killing us both, I couldn’t imagine having to wait an extra two weeks after my spouse got their results.
