Yes it is br. Kind of a downer though when you find out mommy or daddy really weren't your mommy and daddy.
Happened to a friend of mine--daddy wasn't daddy. :shock:

I've proven a good number of this kind of thing with some of my relatives. I get criticized for it every now and then, but the truth is what it's all about.

Most of us are related to someone famous way back there somewhere. The big problem is finding the line that can get you there. The internet is doing wonders for genealogists nowadays.

If allowed to grow, the trunk of family trees become very wide. Outside of Pocahantas, there's a couple of lesser-known US Presidents in my background.

Not amazing. Common.

The * by names means those are set. Still looking for that someone special for the others so everybody keep an eye out---go stalking if you want!!! And thanks for your efforts!
Classy has generously offered to start the threads with no names beside it. :)


Welcome to the ECF Pre-Vet thread!

A Pre-Vet is an ECF member that is about to have their status "Turn" to ECF-Veteran on or about the anniversary of their ECF sign up. You also need anywhere from 70 and 75 post.

This thread is where you can hang out (courtesy of Whiskey creating this thread) and celebrate becoming an ECF-Veteran with other ECF members. You have the option (but not the obligation) to have an Avatar Theme Celebration on your turning day. You select a theme, and many of the group here will help celebrate by changing their avatars. Kind of an avatar costume party. You'll also get a bunch of congrats and a welcome thread created in a sub-forum for vets that pre-vets can't even see yet. If you want to have an avatar theme, start thinking about it!

We will not turn away last minute request, but please try to give us enough advanced notice so we can dig something up for pics. Two weeks prior to your turning date would be awesome.
We try to limit scheduling to the current and the following month.

If you are a pre-veteran and want a welcome thread in the Veteran's Forum and or an avatar theme for your turning day please do the following: Post in this thread and PM me your request.

This thread moves fast so as a final safeguard double check the list that is posted here several times a day sometime before your turning day.
Or the list here: PreVet List

We do our best to accommodate multiple members turning on the same date. Each member is free to choose their own theme; participants rotate and/or combine themes as desired.

Joining in on the celebration is for all members (new and old) so please feel free to participate in the themes for others if you wish. If you are not a Vet yet and want your pic added to Celebrant's thread in the Veterans Forum, there is a Depot located in the Sandbox.
Once you get to the Sandbox, look for the celebrant's thread and follow instructions.

Again, I post this list frequently on this thread.
List can also be found here: PreVet List

There's a lot of debate on the whole thing C.F. However, I try to keep it withing reason.... skim milk, olive/canola oils... margarine, using butter in moderation, cut out egg yolks where I can... that kind of thing.

Quitting smoking is supposed to help too.......;)

I'm sooo behind....:facepalm:

Atty, if you don't mind a piece of unsolicited advice? Margarine is bad; partially hydrogenated fats are the worst artery cloggers out there. Oils or butter. Honest...

You make your own bread?? I'm impressed :). I love good, homemade bread but I'm far too lazy to go to the effort! That, and I don't know how...

I make my own bread all the time. To save time, I have my bread machine mix the dough and proof it. I then take it out, shape it and let it rise one more time and stick it in the real oven. No work, all play! And great bread every day!
