(13,912 posts)From a New Yorker piece on Biden:
The President considers alcoholism a kind of family curse. After growing up around hard-drinking relatives, he chose to abstain from alcohol. He also urged his siblings, and, later, his children, not to drink, although all of them eventually didsome in moderation, others to the point of addiction.
From wiki"
Of Joe Biden's sixteen great-great grandparents, ten were born in Ireland. He is descended from the Blewitts of County Mayo and the Finnegans of County Louth.

(70,123 posts)i have a friend, a dog pro, who's part owner of a pembroke named zeppelin. she trained and shows him, and he's half way to his cde in a year. i'm pretty sure this woman is either part dog, or a powerful witch. she doesnt seem to have much power over humans, tho.
it's youngest's dream dog. but they're a quisling, so i'm deeply suspicious.
