Have you ever had a neighbor that was so annoying and so stupid, that you have just wanted to go over and deck him. One of our current neighbors, a white male between the ages of 24-29.(not sure of the exact age) His vocabulary is, from what I have heard him shouting at 10pm, 11pm, 12am and 1 am ….was; “#$% this, @#$% you, you #$%&…..” So on and so forth…He has yet, in the times I have heard him, had a sentence that didn’t include profanity….. Currently he is outside my window, about 20 feet away, screaming; “Woooh!” and “#$%&!” and then continues to chat with his other buddies, to go with this, he is a heavy drinker and from what I saw a possible drug user, (just a guess, not conclusive) At times like this I try, (note ‘try’) to just ignore him and continue on with what I am doing…..will people ever change….who knows…

Well, Its been about 3 days since I last wrote in my journal…I’ve been busy trying to search for genealogical records of some ancestors of mine, what irritates me the most is the flipping grip Ancestry.com has on most of the record searches, every where I turn, there is either a link to them, or, it automatically re-directs them the site. Another thing that is getting old, is; I’ve sent 12-13 (off the top of my head guess) emails to people in Europe and the US, inquiring about them having records pertaining to certain ancestors of mine, but no reply, and the most recent was 8 days ago… L ……well, the search must go on…I recently (thanks to roots web.com, and the 1880 US Census) hit a gold mine of information, fond D.O.B.’s, etc… on 4 of 5 surnames that I have been focusing on…every time I “turn a corner”, I get more surnames, Shepard, Love, Lindacher, etc… At times it can be irritating, yet, I am ecstatic at what I find, recently I found out that an ancestor of mine; Cornelius Foy, fought for the Union in the civil war, he joined the 34th Regiment, Indiana Infantry. Unfortunately, he fought at, and died at the Siege and Capture of Island No. 10, on the Mississippi river, near New Madrid Missouri. He was 21 years old. Well, got to go know…
