Topic: Irony of ironies...my (likely) p!ss-yeller-and-blew heritage...

[backontrack]

One of the things that I've been doing in my retirement is tracing my roots as an adoptee...when I was looking for my birth certificate so that I could get a passport, I found some documents that indicated that my real given last name is Dadisman...I'd learned at one point that my mother was a college student from Charleston, so upon searching that name I found out that it is quite common in Kanawha County...so factor in the percentage of Mountaineer supporters in the area--along with the fact that there is actually a DADISMAN HALL at WVU--and it figures that I've got a Poutie heritage... ??? ??? ???...

It's OK man...we will get through this together.  In all seriousness it is pretty cool how you were able to find out what you did about your history.

The only thing that matters is you were able to trace your history.

Sounds like your environment trumped genetics. You lucky dog.

Have you ever had the urge to burn a couch, but didn't know why?  If so, that would explain it. LOL

My wife lived in Dadisman Hall as a freshman. It was the honors dorms back when she was a freshman in 2002. I'm not sure if it still is or not, but it was a craphole back then. They made the smart kids live in the oldest, nastiest dorms on campus. Never made sense.

Talk of irony ,Both of my parent's are WVU alumni. My dad played basketball for WVU in the sixties . Mom a degree in library Science. I ended up the blacksheep.Thats what growing up in Wheeling gets you.

I actually lived fairly close to Wheeling for awhile--between Cadiz and St. Clairsville in a little burg called New Athens between '86-'90...

Send your DNA to Ancestry.com and hope your pie chart doesn't come back looking like:

Well my dad and an uncle went there. But that is OK because there is no blew or yeller in my genes. My dad has passed on but somehow I keep getting their alumni magazine.  :-[
LMAO on Muther's Ancestry pie chart.

Might want to keep a copy or two of that alumni mag handy in case of an emergency, like lack of available toilet paper!! >:(

I don't know. Having something like that in the house would make me feel dirtier than not having toilet paper.
