Gil - I am a blonde - with native American blood - and a woman... the jokes that circulate in re: the above are legion... however I take it as that - a joke - nothing more, nothing less... and I move on. I know who I am and where I am going, and life is too short to get angry about the 'little stuff'... a 'joke'. I am sure that there a more jokes in email about blonds, women, and Indians than about gay men... lighten up - perhaps this was not the format for a joke, but what's done is done. Sorry that you are having such a difficult time identifying yourself and your life, Diane S I am a Daniel descendant. I am also gay. I find this alleged humor incredibly offensive. I have difficulty in imaging any motivation for sending this out other than to inculcate derision and unpleasantness. When I receive things like this, I ask myself, what do I have in common with some one who would send out something like this? Why should I cooperate in genealogical research with such a person?

They had to bunk two to a room. No one wanted to room with John because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns. The first guy who slept in John's room came to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, 'Man, what happened to you?' He said, ' John snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.' The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing -- hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. They said, 'Man, what happened to you? You look awful!' He said, 'Man, that John shakes the roof. I just sat up and watched him all night.' The third night was Frank's turn. The next morning he c ame to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed, looking well rested. 'Good morning', he said. They couldn't believe it! They said, 'Man, what happened? How did you get a good night's sleep?' He said, 'Well, we got ready for bed and I went over and tucked John in, pinched him on the ass and kissed him good night. He sat up all night and watched me.' **************One site has it all. Your email accounts, your social networks, and the things you love.
