I've just wandered down the rabbit hole warren of James and Alice Bolland (my g-g-g-grandparents) and the baptisms they had for their 11 (!) kids.

On the one hand, it makes them easier to find. On the other, you come across the records for the birth, baptism, death at 11 months, and Christmas Day burial of their daughter Elizabeth (January - December 1879).

It's just rather sad and weird to think of. At least they're all together again now (barring any reincarnation).

Did you know on the Find-a-Grave site you can leaves virtual flowers on the graves? Well, now you know. :o)

8. What is the worst food you've ever had to force yourself to eat to be polite?

A stuffed pepper. I hate peppers.

It was Elaine's (my aunt's) wedding. She'd told me the veggie option would be pasta. When it came, it was a small stuffed pepper. Everyone else had a full roast dinner on their plates. Christine had gone with me, and she looked at my plate and whispered, "Is that all they're giving you?!"

At least the dessert was nice. I was absolutely starving when I got home though.

7. Did you have a teacher who inspired you to learn and grow as person?

Not really. I had a couple of teachers I really liked who were very good at their jobs, but I think I was too messed up in my teens to be inspired by anyone.
