p.s. My mother's Sicilian Uncle said I was kicked out of the family for marrying my DH. They were all of darker complexion than my husb or kids. Strange, huh? My husband's father was African and Sicilian.

My husband and I worked in a Maine School system, when an attack of head lice struck. The school nurse said I had to use treatment, but not my husb. My thin light hair is like round spaghetti, tubular, and is the configuration that an insect can grab. HUsb's hair was flat like curling ribbon, and the notion was that it was not likely or easy for grabbing. Not sure if this is true for everyone, but the nurse was right in our case.

This is a fascinating piece of information and shows how we will learn family genetics in the new system with resurrections. My late husband would be called High Yaller in older days, but was light skinned black. He always prepared for sales and said our every Friday is Black Friday. My son Keith (who passed away two months ago at age 44) was much darker than my younger two, who look Caucasion, but my husb taught them they are Black and they say it without equivocating. Jehovah made a wide variety of attractiveness for everyone. Would like to know more about this family (Melundgeon?). Have heard the one drop rule before, but first time seeing it in Tennessee documents. My youngest son won highest ranking black student for Junior and Senior year at Univ. of Rhode Island (he did not attend the dinner/award night. He had not applied for any minority scholarships, but was picked out of the enrollment papers by GPA and that he had checked African American in admissions. I usually check other if pushed.

Meriwhether Lewis died at age 35, in a one room cabin he was renting, over night. He had been Thomas Jefferson's personal Secretary, and completed a transcontinental expedition following the Louisiana Purchase with Clark,(whom he had served in military duty with)translator Sacajawea, and her husband.He had been appointed governor of Upper Louisiana and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. His reputation is mixed, having successfully settled and enforced some indigenous treaties, but got involved in political, financial,freemasonry and administrative controversies. The night of his death in 1809, he was on his way to Washington D.C. to settle some financial questionings and to have his expedition notes delivered to a publisher. He had chosen a risky pioneer road to travel and is reported to have already attempted suicide once. Murder or suicide? The debate continues.

My youngest son is named Doug.

The Mayflower and the Speedwell left for America, but the Speedwell has problems,(leaking and illnesses on both boats, pneumonia and tb) and the passengers joined the Mayflower. The ship was overcrowded and people got tired and sick quickly. A man kept urging the other passengers to throw the sick people overboard but they wouldn’t, as their colony was already going to be very small. One passenger that died was the man who urged others to throw the sick overboard. A baby was born aboard the journey,so it is believed the same number boarded the ship as disembarked.

home a gift for our family - it was a paper cup of chex cereal with a bow on it. Also got a similar paper cup with bow from my (former) sister in law, with four small cookies in the paper cup and covered with aluminum foil and again a stick on bow. I really don't miss those holidays at all.

Keep seeing ads on tv for chex cereal. Years ago when I was first quitting holiday observations, my (now late) husband brought

Roger strapped on his tool belt b/c he was going to help on a municipal building project, then check for info on a mountain or trail to hike later.

I am trying to liquify some debt owed to me and have settled from 6 figures to 4 figures so I can open up a new bank account, b/c mine is frozen due to theft, etc, and I cannot pay bills without a bank card or active checks. I have enough dog food to last another day (maybe two) and have to go to the bank tomorrow. I have been waiting for a health care aide, which was approved one and a half years ago. The agency was here last Thursday and said the aide would start last Friday, this Monday, Tues and Weds would be her first 4 days. Friday she came, but did not show up MOnday and Wednesday. I asked her to call if she is not coming, she never called me. Finally spoke to her today (I don't have a number or last name for her, or for the agency) and she said she has been calling the agency when she is not showing up and they should have notified me, NOT. Once again, I asked if she will PLease call me when she is going to skip it all together. I know she means well, but this is annoying and my ulcers and hernias act up more due to stress. I will attend the meeting on zoom tonight. Yikes, she just blew a circuit breaker. I told her the probs with my electric circuits, but it seems when she does bother to show up, she has her own mind of how to fill up her paid time here. Hope every one is having a decent day. YS
