Related two four 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8182 16264 32528 65056 130,106 260,212 520,424 1,040,848 Counting up my ancestors, in twenty generations over a million. If I add all the other relatives, through the years must be a billion. I lost track when only part way through multiplying by the dozens. The only conclusion I come to: the world's made up of cousins. By:Joyce 7/04/02 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (07-04-2002 11:57 PM).] |

smiling--I have to save this one for my mom--and I'll confide a bit--she married my dad--a navy man--because everytime a date picked her up to go out, my grand-maw-maw interrogated him...and always said, "You can't date him--he's your cousin, twice removed." Or something to that effect. So... She did what any sane but lonely woman does--she found the military base!  Thank you for this---it sparked a smile on my face in memory. |

 (smiles) Oh Joyce, this is sooooo cute, sweet friend, yes, I almost believe that everyone in the whole world is a cousin to us in some way because we all evolved from the first man and woman on Earth in theory! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
