@doublehelixTAT Good idea to revisit the certification process, even if it does not change much. Our predecessors started with nothing and did an excellent job. But the world we practice in has changed.

@doublehelixTAT @GenCounsNews I did it again to get results from the new chip. Also subscribe for extended info. Find it all interesting. Ethnicity is much more accurate with v5 chip.

If a woman has to have a child, then the government should make the father pay to raise it. Oh, I forgot. The government does not regulate men’s behavior, just women’s.

@doublehelixTAT @ConeHealth @UNCG You wear them well—great smile too!

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@MetOpera Wonderful production. The four leads are marvelous! See it!

@nytimes So unfair to the other ice skaters. Some will be robbed of getting on the podium and getting their medals due to her situation.

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@taralipinski Please don’t talk so much while the skaters are performing. Save the chatter for when they are done. Tell Johnny to be quiet too.

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@NBCOlympics Tell announcers to talk less. Let’s us enjoy the sport without their constant chatter.

@WhoopiGoldberg You should not have been suspended. You were correct in your statement. There is no context for race. We are all members of the human race.

@dallascowboys Need to find a good kicker. Guerlein cost the game. His 4 point misses were key. He will continue to disappoint us all.

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@theIveryMckee Fumble. Bad call by refs

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@nbcsnl where is Kate McKinnon? I miss her.

@blaine_5 The past culture in genealogy was to share for free. Now a good speaker must subscribe to many sites, do DNA on themselves and relatives, pay for records. Of course they should be paid and paid well. In one hour you can learn so much and save yourself time and money.

@buzztronics @Jeopardy You should be the next host. You are a natural

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@brguest20 Such a dumb remark.

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@legalgen Agree. There is scientific evidence about some not all.

@doublehelixTAT Great to hear about this group. Go y’all.

[Elizabeth Balkite @bbgc79]

@JennSchwabGC401 This could get accredited if they meet The requirements. A biased GC program. Very sad but not surprising given the polarization in the USA.

@justinmaykel GC’s need to use their crisis counseling skills with these patients, calm them, and help them process the information. We need to adapt to this new landscape of DTC results.
