I'm my own grandpa!

Alright, so as you already know (if you read my blog entitled, "Tribute To Harry Gene Shaw"), my dad has been researching our family tree lately. Well, you'll never believe what he found on his side (oh, but of course his side) of the family: incest.
Ewwwwww!!!
You see, my great-great-great-great-something-another grandparents married into their own family. They were cousins. First cousins, and in-case you didn't know, it is illegal to marry your first cousin. Now I know what you're thinking, "eww, you're in-bred!", but that's besides the point. Really, it was like, eight generations ago, so I'm thinking that it has been diluted enough so it's not in my blood by now (does that make any sense? I wouldn't know, I'm in-bred). And besides, my mom's side of the family has royalty in it, so I'm thinking that that ("that that"?) cancels out the incest.
...I think...
Anyway, so the joke is that I'm my own grandpa, because my great-great-great-great-something-another (can't think up a smarter way of saying that?) grandparents were cousins. And now I have just one more thing to say before I sign off, and that thing is: EWW.
Blowg yer la'er, Miss Eccentric.
P.S. I spelled that wrong on purpose, as a way of making fun of the fact that I'm in-bred. I'm not really that stupid. Really. Really really.

Drink water!!!

On a more serious note, today I would like to urge you all to drink lots of water. Last night, we had to take my dad to the hospital and get an IV in him, because he was dehydrated. This is a big problem lately because of the heat, and also the fires nearby. People with Asthma, beware: the air quality is not so great right now, so try not to leave your houses too much, and be sure to drink lots and lots of water, or you will have dehydration problems. Also, be careful when you go outside: if you don't have an air-conditioner in your car, you might get too hot and have a heat-stroke. And trust me, those are not fun. Now I want you to know that I am not professional of any sort, so don't take what I have said to be the law-of-hot-days. I am merely speaking from experience on the matter, nothing more. Now, just to annoy you, I will repeat my tips: Don't go outside unless you have to, especially if you have had a heat-stroke before, or you have Asthma; drink lots of water, you should be peeing like a race-horse every two to three hours; don't be stupid, if you have an air-conditioner, and you have not turned it on because of the price of the bill, but you are currently too hot for comfort, then for gods sake, either turn your air-conditioner on and stop penny-pinching, or go stick your head in the hose; and finally, don't sit in the sun. That would be extremely stupid of you.
Just keep cool, and stay smart.
Blog ya later, Miss Eccentric.
P.S. I may sound kind of like a nag, but I'm just trying to help, so don't be mad at me.
