I like that.

When I was a sales manager, my employees would get extremely upset when they realized they all had degrees and I did not. My job wasn't make the sales, but to train those who could. I explained to them often, my only job was to set them up for success and coach them in areas that were needed; if they were successful, I was successful.

I like how I made a typo in that statement. Clearly I am not the smartest person in this room.

Nonsense. Grammatical errors in typing often come from the fingers not being able to keep up with the thought going into them. I do it all the time. The vast majority of my posts on here will have an edit notation under them for this very reason.....case in point this very post now. Making an error and catching it yourself is far better than to not even realize there was an error. If it makes you feel better I didn't notice it either.

The more alarming thing is that it's 2018 and you still have a Facebook account. If the controversies of recent years haven't gotten you to jump ship, surely this should. Only social media I use are forums like this.

A family member gifted me a 23andMe DNA test for Christmas last year. I was in the same boat as you, can't remember what my reasoning was but I just bit the bullet and did it. Results were pretty much what I expected. 99.99% Western European...

It is alarming though when you see headlines of how they located certain criminals by utilizing the DNA gathered from private organizations...

I quit FB when I realized that my more narcissistic friends/family were using it as a dismissive surrogate for real interactions.

The epiphany came when a friend (in her early 70s) and her husband came to visit from out of town; I hardly saw her during their three days here, because she stayed embedded in FB from early morning 'til bedtime... even during our meals.
