  there's gotta be some blues fans out there.. i have been listening to a recording of a live show back in '68 with b.b.

  king, jimi hendrix and probably other greats i don't know about and i'm finding i really enjoy it.

  any blues buffs out there want to make some suggestions etc.?

  For modern stuff, I loved Stevie Ray Vaughn. And I like Robert Cray, and there's some young white boys that are pretty good .. like Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang. Older blues stuff? No one has mentioned John Lee Hooker yet. Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson for sure. Gotta throw in Buddy Guy for good measure.

  Plus, I'm thumbing thru the July issues of Playboy, Hot Rod, Workbench, and Golf Digest on my visits to the "library".

  OMG! The Baptists!

  last night, around 6:00, a couple of well-dressed young men knocked at my door.

  i didn't think they were jw's, as they weren't carrying bookbags and they didn't have the "stepford jw" look.

  but, i made my hub answer the door anyway.

  Anybody who got to put the squeeze on Adrienne Barbeau in a movie is OK in my book. Welcome!

  Baptists showed up on my doorstep a couple of weeks ago & gave us lightbulbs, along with a card inviting us to their church. The card promptly went into the trash, but I put one of the lightbulbs in the hood over my range a couple of days ago.

  1) were raised in "the truth?".

  2) did you get baptized and at what age?.

  JW's, like many evangelicals that hold to "free will" believe in some kind of magical and non-Biblical "age of accountability". At this age you, all of a sudden, realize that you are a sinner in need of a savior.

  Yeah, but try telling an evangelical parent that you're ready to make an informed decision about sex when you're 14. All of a sudden, you're too young to know what you're doing!

  what is a cat?.

  1. cats do what they want.. 2. they rarely listen to you.. 3. they're totally unpredictable.. 4. when you want to play, they want to be alone.. 5. when you want to be alone, they want to play.. 6. they expect you to cater to their every whim.. 7. they're moody.. 8. they leave hair everywhere.. .

  conclusion: they're tiny women in little fur coats.. .

  1) Were raised in "the truth?"

  I was. My grandfather had studied with the witnesses back in the 1930s, so I'm a 3rd gen dub.

  2) Did you get baptized and at what age?

  Nope. I'm thankful that my dad never pushed me to do it. He said I would know when the time was right & when I was ready to make the commitment. And I was never ready.

  3) What age were you when you faded, were DF'd or DA'd?

  I bailed pretty soon after I turned 18.

  The best place to start is by talking to your family. Dig as far back as you can to start mapping out a family tree ... spend time with grandparents, great-uncles, great-aunts, etc asking about names & dates of birth & cities of residence. Tape record the conversations for future reference. Ask for copies of information from family Bibles, old photos, etc. THEN make your way to rootsweb and genealogy.com.

  Also, there are a couple of very good offline genealogy resources in the US. Do I remember correctly that you live in the Midwest? The Ft. Wayne, Indiana public library reportedly has the 2nd best genealogy resource in the U.S. ... second only to the Mormon church.
