My question for ASK BK DAY - do you know how to swim?
I’m still employed and ultimately the disrespect was just a misunderstanding or at least is being framed that way to keep me in the fold. It’s a good wake-up call though for me to start applying elsewhere.
Thing is, I like my job and writing about cemeteries. It woke up my dormant writing abilities and belief in them. But I keep coming back to JP Finch in H2$. Do NOT get stuck in the mailroom. This is my entry point back into the working world. I can’t stay.
When I really started getting into my family's genealogy back in the early aughts, I took a couple of car trips around the Ohio-Pa.-W.Va. and the Hudson Valley regions to document gravesites. I got somewhat active on Ancestry and then discovered Find A Grave and even made a few contributions there. The upshot of much of that was that I got fascinated with cemeteries and the incredible beauty of some of them. The grand older ones, especially, but certain others, too. I'm afraid I've let those activities dwindle to almost a halt over the past several years in favor of other pursuits, but it's something I will return to, hopefully this very year.
Findagrave is an amazing resource. A older fellow from my town is very active on there. He oversaw 3 American cemeteries in Europe and had some amazing photos I used to accompany an interview I did with him.
You know you're a genealogist when you go see a movie set in London (Disobedience) and the main sight in the movie that you recognize is Willesden Cemetery!

Apparently they were old enough for the glue to have given up the ghost. The entire sole of my right shoe fell off.I'm glad they were able to repair your shoes. It kind of make sense that a shelter would have industrial strength spray glue for repairing shoes.It’s really a day center for the homeless. On those 350 days of the year that it’s warm.

Yes of course DR RODZINSKI...
I like Find a Grave....and Find a Death dealing with celebrities is also most interesting.
Yesterday because we live where we live, it helps to schedule the entire family dental appointment at the same time. Not a cavity in the family, I’m happy to report.

No, I did not sleep well last night. Much as I support Bide, Kamala, anmd the previous administration, I am angry beyond words for the following errors of the past four years: 1. The administration, beginning on Jan.. 20, 2021, should have done everything to insure that Fat Orange Felon could never run for office again. 2. Merrick Garland and his office dragged their feet far too long to press charges against FOF.And so much for spilled milk.
As someone on another site posted, "it's you and I defying cavities"
