It’s always an exciting day when your DNA results come back. After analyzing my uncle’s results ad infinitum for the past six months, I finally bit the bullet and sent away for my own test.

Dates and Sorting - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 3 Jan 2017

Cast and Crutches - Blog entry by lkessler - 31 Dec 2016
On Monday Dec 19, it felt like I might have sprained my ankle. It was my first squash game of the day and I planted my foot and I felt a tiny pop in my ankle. It wasn’t too bad and I tried to continue but less than a minute later I felt another pop in the ankle. Now it felt like a badly sprained ankle. I ...

Dates and Sorting - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 25 Dec 2016
Dave,
Yes, the month numbers can be reused.
