I’m looking for a cheap closet organization system. Martha’s Home Depot collection might win out over IKEA’s ALGOT system.
Please don’t leave your kid at the park.
You all might be related to Charlemagne or King Arthur, but I’m quite certain that every single one of my ancestors was a drunk serving wench.
Apt. 11d 
At Lowe’s (and probably Home Depot also) they sell a closet system that looks like the Ikea one but with thicker wires/brackets/etc and is much cheaper than the Martha one. I think it may be Rubbermaid. We’ve had one in for ten years now. I think one bracket broke under conditions that could be described as abusive.

Can’t ALL be wenches. Gotta be a wastrel younger son of nobility, or an Honest Yeoman, or something, in there somewhere. Just gotta.

I took sex ed. 50% of your ancestors had to be male. Can’t fool me.
I would explain the process, but I think the internet has that covered.

That’s kind of funny. I’m pretty sure I am descended from the same person as that blogger. In fact, my great-grandmother’s brother was named Garrett Kouwenhoven [hislastname].
My dad used to joke that he came from a long line of ditch diggers, but in actuality, I found out my great-great-grandfather was a music teacher in Brooklyn. I’ve also found out that he married a descendent of Anne Hutchinson’s sister, which I find incredibly cool. AH’s niece married a dissident Quaker who ended up in Providence. My dad would have *loved* to know he was descended from religious dissidents.
Yes, I am one of many (Ancestry.com has a notification feature of when people add the same records you do, and every day, someone is adding the Hutchinson info to their trees), but it’s still kind of cool. 🙂

We have records of my paternal line back to the early 16th century, all farmers. Of course, pretty much all Norwegians were small-landowning farmers until the late 19th century. If you were part of the nobility, then you were Danish.

A drunken serving wench in Charlemagne’s court, maybe. It didn’t say everyone had a legitimate descent from Charlemagne.

technical suggestion (sorry for my always long-winded writing): maybe it’s harder to do this in wordpress, or maybe you don’t want it, but it’s good for readers (and I’d think for bloggers even more) when clicking on a link opens a new tab or window and doesn’t leave your page. I don’t like having to click back to the blog to continue reading the post…
P.S. guess what! links in my own blog are the same way and I don’t even know how to change that! so… yeah… this is a suggestion for me too. Sigh…
