Yeah. I've been here for 21 years now. This place is kind of like a black hole, you really want to leave you just... can't quite make it out. That's why my wife and I call our plans to move in the next there years escape velocity. This place makes it difficult to leave after making it so very clear you should.

Oh I feel you there it took a Hurricane Andrew to blow me out of the place so escape velocity sounds about right

Well after 2 years of trying, I got another DNA sample from the old man yesterday. It is in the mail!! His first sample was unreadable so they asked for another one, over 2 years ago. They want a saliva sample without any food, drink, or smoke ingested for at least 30 minutes before. Well that's near impossible with dad!!!!

He is so blind....Yesterday I kept looking at him, and it looked like he was growing a chin beard....except the more I looked it wasn't on his chin, but under his chin, like his upper neck. Finally I said. "are you growing a beard?"...he says "no why, did I miss a spot?" "um yeah, for about a month by the looks of things". He started feeling around and found the big tuft of hair, and was embarrassed...."oh I don't see too good, I'll shave that off as soon as I get home". I can't believe no one said anything to him about it. I really should have got a pic of that one!

I really can't believe he is still driving a car!! He is having a hip replacement done soon too....amazingly!!

Man, be careful playing with DNA. A buddy of mind started playing on one of the DNA websites and he's still getting surprises. The first one was an 18 year old son he never knew about, next was a slow trickle, as they signed up for DNA services, of three half-siblings dear old dad left scattered around the country .

my dad was adopted too, so there could definitely be some juicy details!!

About 30 years ago I got a message on my answering machine from a girl who was looking for her dad...Long story short, she did turn out to be my half sister...She came from Indiana and stayed for 2 weeks getting to know our dad, and I met her.. I asked about her yesterday and dad hasn't heard from her in many years. She was an addict (apple didn't fall far), so who knows.

Dad was really reluctant to do his DNA....I convinced him by saying "hey, you might have a brother or sister who is filthy rich".

Yes, it sure could open a can of worms!! I did mine a few years back too.
