Got to meet my newest grand nephew Friday, I'm not sure if there is anything more relaxing than a new baby sleeping on your chchest.i agree. I got to hold a wee one for a while yesterday. Seven weeks old. He was yhe son of Lew's sister's grandddaughter.. I think that makes him a great grand nephew. I dunno. Morning brain here...I'll have to ponder this one for a bit.

I sometimes have to care, but I just hit up a consanguinity chart.
I'm good on cousins, second cousins, cousins once or twice or more removed. Where I stumble is with the great/grand nieces & nephews. It's not consistent in common vernacular. I refer to my nieces' children as my grandnieces/nephews, but their mother refers to me as their great-aunt. Oy.

I am a great uncle to my grandnieces and grandnephews. I prefer Greatest Uncle. ;)

I don't go any further than my sisters kids, their kids and 1st cousins.

I thought passing on a solid white line was prohibited by code or law or something similar. Am I wrong?

Changing lanes on a solid white line? Ummmm...not supposed to.

(although I did do that just today)
Today we saw passing and changing lanes over solid white on I35 northbound, north of Des Moines. SMH.
