I occasionally refer to my cousin Gerald, who is on the Stark side (pOp) rather than the Mennonite/Quaker side (which is oxter deep in cousins). These two little cuties are his mom May and his auntie Hilda (they were twins), taken around the end of WWI

Private post
I just posted something privately to my blog complaining about a life situation that isn’t mine to talk about publicly but that is wrecking me. mOm knows, Jeff knows, I’m not alone but I have many yuccccky feelings.
I owe various people phone calls and wish they’d call me for a change but it’s easily fixed.
I can’t find an online obituary for a friend of mine who died back in 2004/5. So that was depressing.
Today I learned that acrylic nails aren’t just for show. I just learned that a small but vocal subset of acrylic nail wearers USE THEM to help control their OCD, self-picking and trichotillomania symptoms. (They literally can’t pick at their scalps, eyelashes, eyebrows, etc. if they’re wearing them.) I hate them because I think they’re hideously ugly but now Billie Eilish wearing 7 cm nails all the time makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE and I’m going to stop commenting on this aspect of other women’s appearance. Thank you Reddit.
