Looks like how you run away from someone shooting at you. Zig zag pattern, lol.

Yes, we do. Can't wait for the 1918 wall to come down.

In our town? I haven't seen anything about it.

Who can we contact? (I hit reply before I finished my thought.)

Who can those of us who use the NHSL but don't live in New Hampshire?

@apgenealogists.bsky.social spreading the word to save this resource.

I guess that's the measure of life these days. We made it through another day. Just got to be sure to observe what is good and beautiful in each day. Thanks for the reminder.

It seems that owning free and clear is good way to motivate the market losses and protect against loosing one's home. I can dollar cost average what I would have paid into the mortgage over the next 5 years to build that account back up.

What about paying off the mortgage? If my retirement account is going to crash, I feel like taking about half out and paying off the mortgage will be the best use of my funds.

This worked for the last few decades, but this time feels different. The usual recovery may not happen. The structure of the economy may be fundamentally alteted. And those of us close to retirement won't have time to recover.

DOGE’s $1 spending card limit touches everything from military research to trash pickup The crackdown on routine expenses is part of a campaign by the president and Elon Musk to reset the scope and mission of America’s sprawling bureaucracy.

Their job is to **identify American soldiers** killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work.

"Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..."

"Tariffs cause inflation and recession." That is the message. Short and simple, repeated everywhere. We have to get out ahead of the Republican noise machine that is trying to blame the coming economic downturn on Biden.

We are probably heading for a recession. And the stock market is likely going down. What are good strategies to preserve retirement accounts? I don't think we'll have Social Security at the levels(if at all) to depend on. I won't have a decade to recover like I did last time.

I'm still mad about Melissa Harris Perry and Tiffany Cross, too. MSNBC will be losing more viewers. @joyannreid.bsky.social keep us posted on where you land.

@msnbc.com I've heard you are cancelling @joy.msnbc.com I'm still mad about your cancelling Melissa Harris Perry and Tiffany Cross. We need strong black women's voices. It's a bad look to bend the knee in advance.

The genealogy community has lost a giant.

Trump Has a 'List' of National Archives Staff to Fire as Revenge for Docs Scandal President Donald Trump, still bitter about the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago, has asked for a "list" of National Archives staffers to fire.

NEW: In recent months, Donald Trump asked advisers for a “list” of staff at the National Archives who he should purge, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

So this is their weekend project while everyone is paying attention to a ball. Where is the preemptive strike to stop them? @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov

Can't you just smite them all?

Elon is mad about what USAID did to help end Apartheid…but wait until we have our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

And how long before NARA is shuttered?

It's already too late. We can only try to mitigate the damage.

It's so disappointing when things can't be located at a repository. I have a couple items I ask about every 5 years or so.

The US constitution

Breaking News

The US constitution has been removed from the US government website.

Don't panic, he can't rewrite anything without a 2/3 majority in both the house and senate.

The Orange Idiot in Orifice is posing for the Nazis again

We urge everyone to post an image of the constitution today

Ahh, that's why I never find it when it's happening live. I am way too tired and off line that time of night.

It's just a cover for a poor crowd size.

Genealogy articles I wrote during 2024 are all hitting editing this month. In a couple of months it will look like I write a lot of articles at the same time.

Today, I received an image of the apprenticeship record for the first of my 6 generation line of master gingerbread bakers. It is dated 1620. His baptism occurred in 1601. I love #genealogy

I can't wait to visit and see it!
