MummyplaysMinecraft on that other place I’m a lifelong genealogist and independence supporter (unrelated). I’m a cross between an old hippy, a disco diva and a classic rocker, lover of books, art, old maps and history. Mum to a 9yo, usually dumfungled 🀣

Comparing #Wordle scores with my cousin (I got a 4 πŸ˜‚), getting 10yo out for football match. About to get laundry done before some #genealogy research.

Weird how life is so normal whilst the world is on fire because of one man πŸ’”

Singular Case of Sudden Death in an Eating House 
On Saturday evening a man and a woman entered an eating house in Stockwell Street and were furnished on demand with a supply of tripe and potatoes.  Shortly after...the young woman was observed to grow ghastly pale and becoming speechless also, an alarm was raised.  The man pretended to run for a doctor but never returned...A post-mortem examination was made....when it was ascertained that the cause of death was choking - a piece of tripe having stuck in the woman's throat...

Have posted this before but my GG Aunt (age 26) fits your Friday 13th and today's Valentines topics with the worst date ever.

She died in the back of the police cab enroute to hospital in 1879, choking on tripe. Her date didn't even stick around...

My OH has a 1st cousin (3x removed) named Valentine as his first name. Born 1858 just outside of Clifden but his birthday was in October πŸ˜‚

Absolutely no sympathy here for Epstein & Maxwell but please don’t do this to the McMann family. As far as I am aware (and I’m in UK so see media coverage), there has never been suspicions of a female involved in the abduction. Enough conspiracy theories as it is.

Heartfelt Commiserations. I hit 288 and then my old iPad died, never to charge again. I had to pretend to then 9yo that it didn’t matter, it was only a game, as after all, I tell that to him almost every day when he is on a device. But inside I was screaming 😱

If you lived in Scotland you wouldn’t include the BBC in that list. There is plenty of bias in reporting.

For me, Christmas in the 70s was going to Glasgow to see the Fraser’s windows and visiting Santa. It was such a treat, another world then and another world now.

After she died, we found an old job application of my mum’s from the mid/late 70s. It asked for details of her husband and all dependent children (my sister and I) and whether her husband was aware of the application and consented for her to apply for the job.

Said job became her life career ❀️

Sadly, even if they did, he wouldn’t care. He even admitted in front of the press that it was okay for Mamdani to call him fascist. He thought it was funny 😒

Is it Whamageddon already if it is your 10yo singing it? Especially if they use the other lyrics?

These kids will have gone through the trauma of the pandemic and now ICE. Their wellbeing has gone πŸ˜₯ I worry about their adulthood resilience. A whole generation that has had their mental health negatively impacted in ways they may not be aware.

This reads like the sort of case that all future students will study in Jurisprudence 🀣

Definition debates, human rights, a lot of humour…and an underlying presence of authoritarian menace.
