Whats your ethnic background?



Recommended Posts

English and Irish mainly. My dad gave up on doing the family tree when he got back to about 1000 people named Murphy from County Cork, Ireland, lol. Bog standard, common anglo ancestry anyone?

I do have a german great grandmother on my dad's side though.

I'd like to put in an order for some Asian or mediterranean genes though please. I'm a bit tired of being a boring looking pasty white brown haired green eyed caucasion, I need a bit of something exotic in my blood.

Typical American mongrel: Scots-Irish and Irish being the largest contributers of genes, with a strong line of Welsh, a few genuine Sassenachs, and a couple of lines further back of French, Dutch, African, a couple Amerindian tribes, and heaven only knows what else: that's as many as I can determine via genealogy since 1635. :)

That being said, when my children started school, I told them that when officially asked their ethnicity is AMERICAN and their race is HUMAN, and if any bureaucrat wanted to press the matter, to send them to me.

I'm African-American, though I usually refer to myself as black. I have maybe an eighth of Choctaw Indian on my mother's side. I'm not sure about my father. We've had some trouble tracing our family tree, though we're trying.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
