I’d rather see a healthy 25-year relationship with a 20-year age gap than a dysfunctional gossip-storm with little to no age gap.

Why does appearance have anything to do with the quality of relationships . . . regardless of age-gap?
When we got married ages ago, we hired a local unknown local guy heading up a band for our wedding. Since then he’s released a bunch of albums. He never hit the “big time” but became a lesser known national act. While digging through some old stuff today, I found the demo tape he gave us back in the late 90s when we were considering hiring him. Made me wonder if I should contact him and ask him if he is interested in his demo tape.

I think that would be closer to 87 in that song. maybe more.
But are any of those commas Oxford commas?

This has bits of ICP’s F*ck The World in my head, since it has a lyric about the word appearing in the song 93 times.
Just went onto 23andme, to theoretically delete my data, and I found a new relative. First cousin 3 times removed, born to an unwed mother, looking for information about his father. I was wondering which of my great-great-great-grandparents he could possibly be the child of? But then I googled him and he had passed away in the last few months. Found and lost a cousin in the space of an hour.

Would seem to be a grandchild of your great^3grandparent, if 1st cousin 3rd remove.
1 cousin, grand parent’s grandchild,
1 cousin 1 remove, your great ^1 grandparent’s grandchild…
I see the term “x removed” as referencing “down the tree” rather than up it.
E.g., someone who is my first cousin once removed is my cousin’s child; twice removed would be my cousin’s grandchild.
One of my baby sitters as a toddler was my grandfather’s (first) cousin (a female). So we would be first cousin twice removed; her child would be my father’s second cousin, and we would be second cousins once removed. Her grandchild would be my third cousin.
ETA: correction to generational cousin reference
Sorry, that’s right. 1st cousin means you shared a grandparent. 3 removes means your first cousin’s great grandchild. I had the sides reversed.

Third cousin I think, but someone can check my genealogy math.

You’re correct; I’ve edited my post accordingly.
I think it can go both ways, per ze google. A first cousin thrice removed could be your cousin’s great grandchild, OR your great grand parent’s cousin.

I was wondering how that matched up with both persons having the same relationship name. Picture really helps.
