Who Can You Trust?

I have major trust issues. And by major I mean I really don’t trust anyone. That goes triple when my child is involved. Make that quintuple. Let’s just say I am not the type of parent, who would drop off my 9-year-old kid at a municipal pool with five bucks for lunch and head to work for 8 hours, hoping that the lifeguards or other adults will make sure he’s alive and well by the time I return. For many parents, entrusting their flesh and blood to others is not a task they take lightly. And, no, I don’t buy … Continue reading →

Blood Test Results Lead to Divorce

A simple blood test can reveal a lot about a person. It also can tell you important information about who that person is related to. When blood test results reveal unexpected things, this can lead to family problems, (including divorce). Genealogists may want to keep this in mind before ordering a home DNA kit.

If you know what each of your parent’s blood types are, then you might be able to figure out what your blood type could, potentially, be. This is something that is determined by genetics, and handed down from one generation to the next. A recent survey shows that around 45% of Canadians didn’t know what their own blood type was. I would imagine that this percentage would be about the same, if not higher, for Americans. Do you know your blood type? How about your … Continue reading →

Like What You’ve Got

Nothing gets the Internet fired up more than a mom going public about her utter disdain for her child. And we’re not talking about a bitter teen, who stole the family car, crashed it into a brick wall and tried to torch it to hide the evidence, or even a grown kid who robbed his mother of her life savings. Rather, the mom in the media spotlight I am referring to recently penned an article for Redbook detailing her dislike for her firstborn, a “small, shy, weak, anti-social” baby, who apparently epitomized everything she didn’t want in a child, especially … Continue reading →

Apparently scientists speculate that pregnancy hormones are performance enhancing for female athletes. Personally, I feel as though my abs have gotten a passport and left the country.

I’m so guilty on this one. I almost never eat a good breakfast. I generally have a few cups of coffee (something new since the twins were born) and something sweet.
