15 Questions Tag

Thanks for the tag @charmandersims ! I do love these! (VainElvesAreVain)

My first name is from the jilted wife in a famous love story movie. (Wife who in real life died of syphyllis thanks to the husband and his mistress.) My middle name is from my mother's sister.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Sometime earlier this week, but I'm not sure when. Life has been stressfull for a few years.

3. Do you have kids?

Yes. I have two step-children, one of whom hasn't talked to us in several years, and a baby who died in the first trimester. I hate the phrase "lost a baby". I didn't lose him. He died.

A lot. A really freaking lot.

How are elves Catholic?

(Unrelated from checking the description on your profile) You do genealogy?

#ElvesAreCatholic because…

I’m Elf Puddle (first name: Elf, last name: Puddle), and I’m Catholic. 😁

I have done genealogy, but not in a hot minute.

The Puddles are from that swath of Europe from Switzerland north to Eastern Europe, Russia, Germany, and up to Nordic countries. But in our modern society, #ElvesAreRussian and #ElvesAreGerman are not things people get rewarded for saying, y’know? More Recently, as in until the Great Depression, the Puddles are farming people from the American Great Plains. I was an Army Brat, born in North Carolina and lived in a lot of places before “coming back” to the Plains where my soul is happiest. I’ve visited some of the places the Puddles are from, but I’d love to see more!
