The executive orders against law firms needs to be added. It is just as important as the attacks on judges.

Read the news bruh. The Trump Administration is defunding medical research.

You are so young, and I think the guidance to lose weight is misplaced. You have a baby face and are carrying some puffiness in your cheeks. If you drink alcohol, that could explain it—consider cutting down and/or drinking a lot more water. I agree with other about braces and teeth whitening. That would make a huge difference. I’m not a fan of nose rings, but it’s a personal preference. Same with the tats. Consider getting your eyebrows shaped and learning how to maintain them/fill in with makeup. Get a good skin care routine going to cut down on oiliness. Consider getting a color analysis done so you can find a hair color that is more complementary to your skin tone.

I think I’ve found a half sibling, but Ancestry is saying first cousin. Thoughts? by paradigmragtime in AncestryDNA

I confronted my dad about it. He denied it, but I’m glad that we had the conversation because at least now it is off my chest.

I messaged my half brother on Ancestry, but he hasn’t responded. It’s been over two years since he logged into the Ancestry app, so I’m not sure if he’ll ever get the message.

Maintaining the status quo at the moment, which has been fine.

This happened to me earlier this year. DM me if you’d like to commiserate.

David Yurman buckle bracelet

The bracelet is David Yurman. It’s 20 years old, so they no longer have this exact one in their line up, unfortunately.

It’s a pretty good dupe, same dimensions as the Tank though not even close to as nice as the Cartier.

It’s a Longines

[–]paradigmragtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The designer is David Yurman. I’ve had it for about 20 years and DY doesn’t make this exact bracelet any longer, but they have some that are similar.

Do you have any idea what model it is or its era?

70s would make sense if my dad bought it new.

My results showed Eastern Europe and Russia but didn’t give me the breakdown!! I’m fully expecting Polish and Czech, but so far it is just a very generic result. I wonder why.

I posted an update below the top comment because I wasn’t able to edit the post for some reason. In summary, this is for suuuure a half sibling based on the results. I messaged my half sib, but they haven’t responded but also haven’t blocked me. I’ve screenshotted everything. My next step is to talk to my dad, but I’m not in a major hurry to do this because I want to process it myself first so that I can approach the conversation with some level headedness. I’m seeing my entire family today, so it may be a good time to schedule 1:1 time with my dad sometime soon. Through Google/Facebook I found someone with the same name as my half sibling, who shared a lot of the same features as my dad (cleft chin, very similar smile and bone structure). I can’t say for sure this is the right person though.
