AncestryDNA updates are out!
Several things are new for me: East Midlands (UK) DNA on my mother's side and Scottish DNA on my father's side.

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

If you’re looking for random fun things on YouTube I recommend searching “soap slaps.” Just compilations from various soap operas over the years where people are getting slapped.

I had dental work done today.
I have been having significant dental problems for about a year and now, finally, it's almost over.
My body is tired. So many people have been in my mouth.
Reminds me of 1999. 🤠
