Charming

Lovely and hilarious hosts.

Amazing

Today’s episode was so good! The discussion of women in vegetative state becoming wombs. So frightening. Read Kazuo Ishigura’s book Never Let Me Go. A dystopian look at society and certain people who live to grow “spare parts” for the chosen. We are getting closer to this in society. We should be afraid

Love, love, love!!!

While I wasn’t adopted, my father grew up without his father and never really knew much about him. Ancestry DNA helped me find him and also my father’s half siblings-who were so open and wonderful. We now see each other several times a year and I’m so lucky to have found them. I’ve done genealogy for over 10 years and love helping other’s connect with lost loved ones or “family. I love listening to the two of you. Your banter makes me smile and I love when you go off on tangents!!! Thanks for the laughs and for always reminding me why I love genealogy and DNA. ❤️I feel like I’m listening to two of my best friends when I listen to you. So much love.
