Good post, Anacrusis. I'm currently reading my eyelids.

When I can read - though not usually books because holding them is difficult and printer's ink makes me sneeze - I'm like you. Anything historical, science-related or, well, pretty much anything that I can learn about the world. My most recent book was, "The Source Field Investigations" by David Wilcock. Just the chapter about research on plants being hooked up to polygraph machines to see if they elicit an emotional response was worth the price of the book.

Be cautious of Ancestry.com because they will fool you into believing you are having a one-month only subscription but then keep charging you month after month. You literally have to cancel before the end of that first month to not be charged!

Ginnie, I'm sorry you don't know where your ancestors are from. I don't know the laws in the state you're in but there must be a way you can get your adoption records! I'll bet a lawyer - even a pro bono one - could get them for you! BTW, I like Michio Kaku too!
