    They all may know her, but does she know them? I can't imagine having to memorize so many names.

    And I thought that the fact that my great grandmother had about 120 descendants when she died made us a big family.

    If there are any Jez-bakers out there who want to give a little troop support, you might want to consider Baking Gals [www.bakinggals.com]

    I haven't done it because I'm trying to watch my pennies, but it is a very cool project.

    There's an Arthur Miller's "All my Sons" comment in there somewhere, I just can't find it.

    Did any of you write to soldiers in the first Iraq war? My class were all required to write a letter, I believe in the 6th grade, and I was the only one to receive a letter back. We actually kept in touch for about a year and I still have the letters. He was probably 21 or 22, was married with a baby. He seemed so old at the time. I sometimes wonder how he is.

    @Penny: We did too. I wrote back and forth a few times, until the guy wrote a letter back that struck my mom as creepy, and that was the end of that.

    @Penny: I wrote to a guy whose mom used to babysit me. He was stationed in Bahrain and was so lonely he was looking up literally everyone he knew from his childhood. We lost touch at one point, and I've spent a lot of the intervening years worrying about him.

    Yay for Ms. Spanier for writing to soldiers. It's probably the brightest spot in their day and gives them something to smile about. But am I the only one who got the vibe that she's disappointed that her children are all female? Maybe she doesn't mean it that way, but "I only have four girls" sounds like she's let down in some way.

    @queen_caribbean: No, you're not the only one who got that.
    Kudos to her, but the composition of the military has changed since 1944, and now some soldiers are even female! and could also use some encouragement, I'm sure.

    @queen_caribbean: That's exactly what I came here to post! "Only" four girls? I know she's a product of her time, but I think she could turn on her TV every once in a while and keep up. As though women don't serve in the military and might be in need of letters too?

    Not to toot my own horn, but I will leave behind at least 2000 dust bunny descendants, all of whom know me personally. In fact, we all live together like one big happy family.

    I just read the article. Her 11 children had on average 13 children each, and her grandchildren had on average 6 children each. The local maternity ward must know her very very well.

    I wonder how many descendants the Duggars will have before they die?

    @marshmallory: Fucking Farmville. Mr. Red and I were discussing whether or not we are ready for kids (answer: NO.) and he actually said, and I quote,"You're right, we aren't ready for a baby. Especially now that I have a Farmville to look after."
    And...scene.

    I love that tree of Queen Victoria's family. Probably because I can name all the leaves on it. I wonder if there's any sort of copyright on it since it's an old picture? I ask because I'd love to use it in a term paper I'm writing this semester.
