This is just awful. And a manifestation of why I have no desire to put my research on FS Family Tree & to play policeman to make sure the info in there is correct. I am flabbergasted for you!

It’s a balanced diet!

Enjoyed a little #DayOfTheDead dinner & margaritas at a local Mexican place tonight. I never realized how ancestors-focused the day was. I’m in for that! #genealogy

A big problem is that healthy food is way more expensive than unhealthy food.

There went my extra hour of sleep.

Also, the Blue Jays head coach is the calmest head coach I’ve ever seen. #WorldSeries

So glad we have an extra hour of sleep tonight. It's only the top of the 7th in the #WorldSeries & I need to see how it turns out! While I do so, I'm working through my FamilySearch full-text searches so the ancestors can keep me company. #genealogy

Yeah; @halfacadian.bsky.social had tagged #genchat earlier today; I'm only seeing his post under the "Latest" in search. That is so not good. I'm wondering if these delays impact what appears on Deck Blue.

Hey, Bluesky: if you can’t handle simple hashtags, you really need to up your game.

Fortunately adding music helps. But gee whiz, to even be that loud! They sound like they’re chewing rocks, even with their mouth closed.

Christine McCloud @geneapleau.bsky.social · 3d

The feeling when your noise-canceling headphones can’t block out loud crunchers in the open office…

The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on this day, October 28th, in 1886 in New York Harbor. 🗽

In 1987, President Reagan signed a proclamation designating October 28th as National Immigrants Day. 🗃️

Psyched to find the maiden name of one of my ancestors, opening up the door to a whole new line & more discoveries to be made! #genealogy

I have a similar recipe for my bread machine. I think this would be great for Thanksgiving!

@packrat74.bsky.social Robert Jackson on Mastodon told me to thank you for this tip!

#GenChat I have a Disambiguation tree tag and Disambiguation custom events where I leave notes, and sometimes link to the other person's profile with Weblinks.

To add a column, just click the magnifying glass icon, type in the hashtag then press "add column" button in the lower right of the window that came up.

You can simplify it. I don't even remember what my defaults were.
