Mother's family were supposed to have been French aristocrats who emigrated to Canada fleeing the French Revolution. Father's family were Germans from Russia. They farmed wheat on the steppe in Southern Russia. Emigrated to the US and farmed wheat on the Kansas plains.

But the state law provisions probably remain in place.

I don't think it's supposed to make somebody's hole taste sweet. The coffee and sugar are exfoliants - they result in a smoother hole.

Under the Affordable Care Act, it is unlawful to use a genetic predisposition to deny coverage or to charge a higher premium. Before the ACA, the practice was illegal in some states but not in others.

For those who have time on their hands and/or enjoy making life more complicated than it need be, I say "Have at it!!"

Full sibs share 50%.

As would be expected. Her genetic information is different from yours.

The 23andme algorithm is pretty good. My niece had a profile done and it accurately identified our relationship. A first cousin who I have never met had a profile done and it identified us as first cousins.

There are solutions for that- yoga, pilates, PT, surgery.

To me, "boyfriend experience" implies a longer encounter, multiple hours and involves a lot of kissing, giving and receiving of affection, mostly vanilla sex and a fair amount of time devoted to chat and cuddling etc. To me, a one-hour appointment is kind of a quickie, and therefore its difficult to pour everything into it that someone might hope for in a BFE. I don't think of a BFE as including much in the way of BDSM or other kink, although I did read in an escort's profile the other day that he specializes in the "BDSM-BFE ."

True . . . the gene sequences are associated with geographic areas but they are also associated with particular populations by their frequency within the population. Jews often assume, without asking, that I'm a Jew, but I'm not. My genetic analysis shows some gene sequences, originally from North Africa, now common in Eastern Europe among populations of Ashkenazi Jews.

I would expect it would be. It's a new industry and they are completely aware of the privacy concerns surrounding genetic information. They don't want to give themselves an image problem straight out of the gate.

My father's family were Germans from Russia, from the Volga River Basin. If anybody ever asks, I always say that they were ethnic Germans of Russian nationality.

I had a 23 and me profile done. It was very interesting. There has always been talk in our family of a native American ancestor generations ago. Based on circumstances, it did seem possible. But the 23 and me profile said my genetic information was 100% European. One native American I mentioned this to said that the assays available to consumers may not have been sensitive enough to detect the native American sequence(s). Otherwise, there were no surprises. My ancestry on the 23 and me profile came out exactly as expected.

So the information isn't available to law enforcement willy-nilly. There has to be probable cause.

Who said?

On "Poldark," the old aunt said, "I've been this earth nigh onto a century." I tuned to my partner and said, "It would be nice to get to say that." He said, "You very well might."

There's an old hotel in Aptos CA, which is also a popular eating place and watering hole. For a couple of years, they had a pair of identical twin brothers that worked as servers. It was very confusing, in a fun sort of way, to go in there and never be sure which of the two you were dealing with. The Twins became minor celebrities of sorts.

What you think it means? You're probably right.

I would argue that she isn't Indian, she's American. If for some reason, you feel like you must identify her ethnic origin you could say she's an American of Indian descent, or an Indian American. But, in this day and age, ethnicity becomes less and less relevant. It's extremely rare that I ask about a person's ethnic background. When you stop asking about it, you realize it's usually a non-issue anyway.

They don't write Yiddish in Hebrew, do they?

I think it depends on the relationship of the host to the guest who brought the orders. As general rule, no, you don't bring along additional guests. But maybe the guest knew the host is a flexible guy who wouldn't mind at all. Maybe the guest had called and asked if there was room for two more. Maybe the guest really wanted to be there but wouldn't have been able to if he hadn't brought the others along. There's no single answer. I generally feel, "The more, the merrier," and would have made room at the table for everybody.

The term "Asian" is itself over inclusive, being applied to perhaps hundreds of different ethnicities. Nonetheless, it is improvement on the bone headed expression "Oriental" that previous generations have favored.
