No Vested Interest
No Vested Interest's JournalMany are not interested at this time
Perhaps they're too young and too busy with on-going life to give family history any thought.
Certainly I didn't have enough time or insight at a younger age to ask the questions I now wish I had asked.
But I have the hope that an interest may develop at a later age, or that a grandchild or niece or nephew will at some point want this information.
Some info can be tricky
because you don't know how it will be received by various family members.
I have info about some nearer-in-time relatives that I'm not informing their children or grandchildren, because I don't know how it will be received. If those living should bring it up, I'll share what I know, but won't initiate it.
Ex. I happen to know (and have proof) of an early (teenage) marriage of one of my aunts; it must have been short-lived for she is shown in a census as "D" - divorced. She had one son by a later marriage. I have no idea if he is aware of the first marriage - I think perhaps not, but I'm not going to be the one to tell him, unless he should bring it up.
I also discovered through the internet that there is likely a NA ancestor on my maternal Fr-Canadian side. I happen to think that's nifty, and apparently my living extended family has no problem with it. Neither my mother nor any of her family ever mentioned that. I don't know if they knew, but if they did, they may have been reflective of a past generation that wanted to appear all-Caucasian and wouldn't want any other possibilities considered.
Biden in a younger version-
I think that sounds like Martin O'Malley.
Do most DUers know he sang and was a musician in a band?
I'll come right out and say it---
I believe in today's world a candidate has to be telegenic,
meaning have a bounce in their step, and youthful enough to give the appearance of open to new ideas.
As smart, wise, experienced as Hillary and Joe Biden are, I don't believe they will be as appealing to the electorate as a more vibrant candidate of either party.
I can say this as a senior myself, older that Joe and Hillary.
I sincerely hope that Hillary takes the path I myself took years before her age and takes on the happy role of grandma (assuming Chelsea's cooperation in that area).
Of course, I would vote for either one- Hillary or Joe, should they be the nominee, but right now I'm looking more to Martin O'Malley. I think Mrs. Warren would make a heck of a VP.
Another route-
Probably a good idea.
You're not missing anything by skipping that "Museum".
Thanks! I like the numbers!
I had the feeling they would run about as this reveals.
About 3 to 1 Dem to Repub.
Sounds good.
Numbers, please
I didn't see any voting numbers in the HuffPo article.
I realize the primary numbers will be different from a regular election, but would find them interesting.
High praise for Erica Lafferty
for her courage in confronting Sen. Ayotte.
She's still facing her loss and grief, but bears the pain of having to deal with the affront of the clueless Senator.
