Sometimes if it weren't for nightmares I'd not know I slept.

I'm at my mom's hometown.
Currently at her birthplace.

And when I said a village full of maternal relatives...

... I was not exaggerating.

Looking up closer at this age, unlike whatever I recalled and heard over a decade ago -- made it even more real.


To make it even more complicated...
Turns out my mom's respective maternal and paternal line, along with other few more families, had been joined more than once.

It's not just my grandmother and grandfather.
Their respective relatives too.

I found graveyard names with my mom's maiden last name (grandpa's) and middle name (grandmom's) switched.

Somewhere along the line, my grandfather's female relative married my grandmom's male relative.

And many more other names crossed more than twice between those two last names and one another.


... How does one track all that???


So I explored said village with one of my large numbered aunts...

... Even after, like, 5+ blocks and 30+ mins of walk away from my grandparent's house; bugging said aunt about who lives there -- most of the neighborhood houses are either my mom's cousins: or my grandparents' cousins' or occupying in laws here and there ...

I wonder how they discovered that you can make glass out of sand

How to prepare for the side effects on me and others that will be imposed by the Trump media empire and his dynasty.

Winter has begun. You can tell because it's a thousand degrees in all the buildings.

Tonight and tomorrow night will be cold here, then it warms up again. But I only have a space heater and I think I will have to wake up in the middle of the night when the temperature changes, and sleep is already so hard for me. And I hate being cold.

Had the furnace fail in the house ....and it was a cold snap . ..So opened the electric stove/ oven door slightly and put a small usb powered fan to blow hot air across the opening into the room . but any fan would work . Best if electric . But ,
"" I think""". it may work with gas stoves equally as well ..Might need to crack a window open if a gas stove , is all that is available . Just Sayin from a recent experience . Also a old trick to i crease humidity into a room ...Is to just leave a pot of water to simmer on a stove top . if these things are even avsilable? ...

I’m a bit bored today

SCS sofa company is the worst organisation I've ever had to deal with

I wouldn't mind so much if I was dealing with a small business but this is a nationwide company and they're just dreadful

Honestly if my experience with them hadn't been so frustrating and stressful it would have made a good comedy

It's just weird how they operate

Good morning babybird. I got mine from DFS who were pretty good although on their first attempt they said it wouldn't fit but on the 2nd attempt it did fit so I've now got a nice comfy sofa. Hope you get it sorted with SCS.

Oh I've got my sofa now and it's lovely but the whole process....you couldn't make it up

Even now I'm waiting for a refund for my delivery and they're expecting me to give them my bank details to them via email

Completely unprofessional

And you can't even get through to them on the phone

It's as if they've only got one person working for them

I wonder what to have for my dinner

I'm currently alternating between fish and chips from the local chippy, a chicken kebab and chips from another takeaway or spaghetti bolognese out of my freezer/cupboard.
