Am I the only one here who felt this way? Maybe when I watch season 8 again and I can semi-binge watch it, I might feel different.16 May 2026 01:38 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlwpliebes2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3megyodoe4k2dThe good news: I have to say that the half time show was 100 times better than the game.

I am interested in creating and printing large descendancy chart for my family. I have a printer that can print 24X36 or 24x48 charts, but the genealogy programs (Family Tree Maker) don't seem to acknowledge any other printer that a 8.5x11 or 11x17. #genealogy03 Jul 2025 16:04 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt3472buok2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3lnbbbgujvk2u20 Apr 2025 18:20 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnbbbgujvk2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3lnbb5lprfs2u20 Apr 2025 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnbb5lprfs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3ln3r2rf4hc2j@ghostscbsfans.bsky.social I think it would be cool if the Angel of Death would show up in #cbsGhosts.18 Apr 2025 13:47 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln3r2rf4hc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3lmnct5beks2lI’ve been playing with ChatGPT.12 Apr 2025 19:55 +0000at://did:plc:57mu26devbafs53hce2ofqch/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmnct5beks2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/joesamson.bsky.social/post/3lmgg57rfus24I share 87.95 cM with my top DNA match on LivingDNA.
