COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I always envy those who know their lineage. Mine is shrouded in uncertainty, strategic silences, and political repression.

Lol. Really?

 

[CarolM]

Very tired today because my headaches started again. Also tried to solve a geocaching puzzle around the Roskilde Cathedral and it just didn’t add up. So frustrating. Early good night from me, roommates! [emoji173]️

Good night Lena sleep tight and wake up all refreshed and feeling on top of the world.

We all lived/live on the same mountain.
He was granted 8000+ Acers when he came here. "All the watershed for the greater south Indian Creek stretch"

I have traced one of my lines back to 1688 in Devon. My ancestors did very little of interest. They were agricultural labourers, servants and navvies. The most educated was a 19th century inspector of police on the railway.

I have found a petty thief in Exeter prison on census night in 1861 and a cousin of his was later fined and thrice whipped for poaching rabbits.

It’s never good to poach rabbits. The game keeper will soon come knocking...

Apparently Lawrence Effler his mother father and brother came to the US as indentured servants after fleeing Germany. It was said that they were Highwaymen in Germany before they came to the US. The mother died on the trip and when they arrive the three men went different ways. There is conflicting stories or what Lawrence Effler his father's name was it was either Daniel or Michael.

Oh they’re the best bit of the family tree.

One JoesDad’s ancestors was transported to Australia for highway robbery... not fair!

After my great grandma on my mother's side died. We found a document that was a certificate of some kind(I was still young and don't remember all the details) it was verifying that she was directly related to General Robert E. Lee.
I kinda find it fascinating that I'm related to such a huge name in American history.

Good afternoon/evening all,
I left my laptop lead in school last Friday and it went walkabout but was found today.
So had a flat laptop all weekend and not been able to use it but normal service resumed now.
Hope everyone's OK - I'll try to catch up with you all.
I believe there's some sort of little football competition on at the moment so you may all be glued to your tv's
but looks like I missed lots of pages so you've all been busy in here.
See you soon.

My classmate was found. In another city. Drugged to amnesia. But we’re so happy that she’s alive. She was traveling via Istanbul and this seems to have happened in the airport because she left her handbag and mobile phone there... What scary world this can be...

Oh my goodness what a terrible and scary ordeal for her.
I hope they manage to find whoever did that to her.

Hey all I had a decent day with the football pool! Making my great comeback lol. I start a new job tomorrow, looking forward to it, but a little nervous. @DE42 that's cool you you've looked into your ancestry. I've looked into mine a little and its been a little easier than most as my family is the only one in the USA with my surname.

 

[Lyn W]

Heading out to Gulf Shores tomorrow. Having a tortoise sitter makes me nervous.

I would be nervous too, so much so that I haven't actually been away for 4 years!!!!
Gone are my days of throwing a bag in my car and taking off.

This evening I proudly present:

A song of John Denver, named "Sunshine on my shoulders " sung by me today and dedicated to two CDR members that are actually not in the best health condition.
I am wishing @DE42 , Dan and @Laura1412 , Laura that you both are feeling better soon and that the sun will always shine for you.

...... and if I had a day that I could give you, I would give to you a day just like today.
....... and if I had a tale that I could tell you , I`ll tell a tale sure to make you smile.

A beautiful song again, Bee.
I am looking forward to your Greatest Hits album!
