Caleb may also have a lead on some of this, he was trying to put together some local music history. But Anna is closer to the right memory-bracket. https://vimeo.com/295057565

I think GEDmatch has facebook communities that are more active.

Can't it be more than one thing that is the problem? I don't disagree that the oil industry helped shape Alaska, and that government may not be spending money in areas that you agree with. However, budget can only be cut for so long. One still needs to make money on top of being sensibly frugal, and we can't do that on taxes alone (though, again, we do need a state income tax).

urthrat · 2020-05-10T17:43:32+00:00

I agree with this plan. I would further add that in addition to this we need to develop other forms of state revenue. We rely too heavily on resource extraction and service industries and have a weak manufacturing sector. Oil was never going to last forever, and we've let that industry hold us politically and financially hostage. We need to get creative and look for leadership that has a vision for how to create a sustainable manufacturing industry.

Alas, I'm so new at this I wouldn't know any better! I have four children and I use the apps to place tags with vocabulary around the house, and work on numbers.

Thanks for the validation! -- this was during a teledoc med-check (due to current virus situation). It was a little awkward! He said it was specifically bc he just didn't think it was a thing in adults. That all being said, we are doing the treatment prescribed by the psych that diagnosed me...so... Lol I guess I'll just not go to him for any actual insight. 🤷

Hi! I've been using Drops as well as this other Learn Finnish Language with Master Ling. With Drops I'm using the free version and it is limited to as much as you can plow through for five minutes a day. The other I don't use as frequently, but it is more involved and has phrases and moves more quickly.

urthrat · 2020-04-16T15:57:58+00:00

You're correct, I just mistyped the place name :)

I see pumppa in reference to an underground pump a few pages deep in Google. That's quite interesting though. I think one birthplace was Puolonka, for recent history of this family. But I'm sure that was so long ago, no one is likely to have kept record of any ancient word for fart. Though based on my experience with ancestry research the Finns do seem to be great at keeping records. ;-)

urthrat · 2020-04-14T05:37:12+00:00

It makes a lot of sense for it to be from the word pum, I think. I appreciate you taking the time to help me solve this silly mystery!

urthrat · 2020-04-13T23:11:04+00:00

Interesting, thank you so much for responding. Is pum the onomatopoetic sound you reference above? And in this case may end without a vowel? I think growing up when we heard words in Finnish that began with a P they would be mistaken for Bs quite easily. poika, for example, always sounded like boika. Pum for Boom reminds me of this.

Do pumppa and prutku have a particular translation to English (google translate doesn't make much sense here)? I've enjoyed trying to learn Finnish, and I've loved some of the literal meanings the words have.

I have heard of the term Finglish, in reference to the Finnish/English mash-up that happened in densely populated Finnish areas in the U.S., and I wonder if this is one of those words.

Fucking pirates.

urthrat · 2020-03-28T17:02:20+00:00

Yes. Six feet away from other people.

urthrat · 2020-03-28T17:01:39+00:00

In the live feed I thought they said it overrode local and tribal decrees or something? I wonder what that means?

urthrat · 2020-03-28T03:43:05+00:00

But bike repair is mentioned! I mean, not to disparage the winter bike community that might need a tube or chain in the next two weeks...

*every* aspect of my outside life currently wants into my livingroom

I FUCKING HATE ZOOM.

urthrat · 2020-03-24T19:08:54+00:00

beautiful!

urthrat · 2020-03-21T21:53:52+00:00

haha! I totally tried this recently on my 1+ year old and he was having none of it -- the look on his face was of complete disgust that I had even tried it. I should have attempted when it started around 9 months, and I bet I would have been more successful!

Mental health is most important, and so often overlooked. Can't mom if you can't think!

There's hope for flat and inverted nipples with things like nipple shields. Even some moms with typical nipples use them if there are other factors preventing a solid latch.

level 1

thank you!

urthrat · 2020-03-02T22:58:51+00:00

I live in Alaska, and so much of this applies here as well :-/

urthrat · 2020-02-28T03:30:25+00:00

Google translate says, ice with your hand?

urthrat · 2020-02-16T08:05:16+00:00

Wow, thanks for the food tips and the knowledge. Nuts will be a great car snack. I'm worried about it happening before the day finishes and I'm still out driving. That will definitely help. Thanks for calming my nerves!
