I thought I was due to stories from my grammas but when I did my genetic testing nothing came back Native American.

Yeah I thought since you were from South Dakota and you looked a little bit NA you might be but guess not. I did genetic testing too recently was cool to see the results.

Btw I’m surprised by the results of this study.

Hi farcry I am reading the forum in bed but I have to go get my youngest pretty soon. Everyone went to bed late because we had a bonfire but he’s up now.

Yeah, I can believe it :frowning:

I think we need to make a distinction between loneliness and social isolation. It is possible to be socially isolated and not feel lonely. For the most part I fall in that category. I sometimes need company because I’m bored with my own company, but I would hesitate to say it’s because of loneliness - loneliness is a very small factor.

I get this. I don’t get lonely only board cos I can’t concentrate on anything. If I could I could happily watch cool movies all day long.
