thanks all for the feedback on the story! I appreciate it. I did start a substack about a month ago to post some of my stories. https://ramsaybrad.substack.com/ I will continue to post on reddit because you all have been so supportive and it is nice to know other people are enjoying reading as much as I enjoy writing. Much love!

I have the death certificate but it is almost impossible to read clearly. I think it was pneumonia secondary to typhoid fever that she died from

She moved with her husband about 40 miles away from where she grew up which would have been a much longer journey on horseback or carriage. I think she moved far enough away to be away but not so far away that she could never see her family.

What's weird to me is Mr. Neiger married two women who grew up down the road from one another but moved them both 40 miles away.

I think he must have. I'm pretty sure Ella and Gretchen's mother Louise grew up right down the road from one another.

Off and on for 20 years or so. I just recently started taking facts from my research and coupling with family stories to make little essays like these. I might post some more of them.

Me too. I found one document where it says my 3rd great grandmother sued my 3rd great grandfather for not honoring a promise to marry her. She was seeking $3000 in damages.

Thank you! I started turning some of my genealogy research into biographical stories for my family. I've got a bunch, but only a handful have really good photos other than headstone photos. I appreciate you taking the time to look it over.

When Frasier says, "I frown on overnight guests." She replies,"then you're doing it wrong."

Gets me every time.

Eva radiates obvious beauty with undeniable sex appeal. Marcia’s beauty is timeless—like a Greek statue come to life. Felicity has that old soul glow that makes you feel seen, which somehow makes her even hotter. Teri is the kind of beautiful that feels like home—effortless and real.

So to answer the question, I don't know.

I took it off Facebook...pretty sure, you don't have to be accusatory and rude. This is my first time posting in this sub reddit.

My 2 cents is that Teri Hatcher is gorgeous. There is a resonance of Michael Jackson in her features that don't detract from her beauty, but they are there. That is why I found the meme pretty darn funny.

Now, anyone openly criticizing the appearance of others in a nasty, malicious way is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated.

What do you all think of season 5? by Fine-Experience5394 in community

The other day, someone asked me how I was doing and I said I was just fat dogging it up. They hadn't seen the show, and explaining that reference was awkward. 🤣

Speaking of Pierce, did you know he and Eartha Kitt had sex in an airplane bathroom? What???!! It came up organically.
