Spunky...you live up to your name and I like your positive thinking! I wish I had not been the one to encourage the testing, that's all. And yes, I do wish me and my dad were not 4/4. But no wallowing here! My family history is not too condemning. My paternal grandparents: grandfather died at 81 of ...

I haven't been sure where to put this, but my father's results came in last week as a 4/4. He is 73. I feel devastated and guilty as I pressured him to take the 23andme test. The possibility NEVER entered my mind he would inherit this phenotype.. it's supposed to be so rare. I don't know his feeling...

Yes! From the first time that I heard that song on the voice a few weeks ago I loved it. It's just one of those notable pieces of music. ... a haunting melody and poignant message that resonates within...

Gil!!!!!! So happy for you...when we didn't hear I was fearing bad news! Enjoy the day!

GB....in some ways, we'll all be in the tube with you on Thursday! Virtual hand holding and hugs from all of us...I'm thinking of Felix Baumgartner and that moment when he stepped out of the capsule and the earth was 24 miles below him...breathtaking stuff!
