I've been saving the cardboard cores from rolls of toilet paper for years. Over the three-day weekend just passed, I sorted them by height. Few are aware there's a wide variance in core heights when measurements are taken with laser interferometry equipment. I made a histogram from the recorded data. I gave the 100 tallest cores names. I named them after Greek gods and goddesses. I named the shortest one Admiral H. G. Rickover.
But I'll bet Jeanne D'Artois throws a pretty interesting family reunion.I have been doing a couple of hours updating my maternal family tree.
What cousins had been telling me now appears to be documented.
One of my direct ancestors came to London from the Kingdom of Navarre (now part of Spain) in the 13th Century.
That was startling enough but another part of my maternal direct line comes from a Knight who died at a siege in Nord-Pas-De-Calais. At the time he was broke (not unexpected!) and his estates reverted to the Crown. Those estates were reclaimed 100 years later by his ancestors descended from an older brother not in my line.
But the Knight's parentage goes back to very distingished ancestors who are well documented because...
...a couple of generations before him his ancestor was a legitimate son of Henry III.
Apart from that, apparently I'm also descended from the same parents as my alt - Jeanne D'Artois - that bloody-thirsty murderess and witch.
There are documents that 'prove' all this.
But do I believe it?

I would like to kick something right now... but I know it would only result in hurting my foot.
dammit.![]()
*hugs*
Kick something soft, like a pillow. It'll do you good. It may not do good to fragile things the pillow lands on, but else it'll help![]()
I'm too chickenshit to ask a woman out that I know was single as of last week. Is it rude or inconsiderate to ask a grown woman out through Facebook?
If she's part of your waking, walking life, then it's more chickenshit than it is rude. Most women will sense that, though, and few are attracted to chickenshit. If you only know her online, then anything goes.
Good luck!
Good to'almost' see you, Tarakin.![]()
