Her fiance is her third cousin
http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/65580926/ShowThread.aspx#65580926
There is a whole host of nonsense in this post, and I can't believe no one's questioned that part yet.
And this reminds me of that one time that my 40-something co-worker was so excited b/c she had reconnected with her childhood boyfriend, and they were going to meet up. She was too embarrassed to buy condoms (I know, I know), so she asked me to do it for her. No problem, I say! Yeah, she didn't use them. And got pregnant. And her childhood boyfriend was her 1st cousin -- their parents found out and freaked and separated them.
They got married, though. And the baby was happy and healthy and is probably about 10 now. So. I guess all's well that ends well?
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Re: Her fiance is her third cousin
Meh, I can't get worked up about this.
Third cousin really isn't THAT much relation.
that tarpon momoxide is something else. lol. i dislike aggressive advice givers. even when/if they are right. it's just.....

I just read the OP and got super squicked (who knew I was a prude? not me!)
My delicate sensitivities need a break before I go back to the responses.
She's often right! Her delivery scares me, though!
(and I don't think she's dead-on today. she doesn't believe in the bisexuals!)

yeah! i was like, huh?
she always scares me. always. 100% of the time. it's always so detailed. like whoa.
She's more than a little scary today, for sure. She knows EVERYTHING about EVERY FORM OF SEXUALITY EVER.
She knows if you are gay or straight, better than you do, apparently.
Whenever I hear Chesh's IRL name I think "Scissor" --MontereyBride
That's the bigger problem; you're right. I'm still just surprised that no one said anything about the cousin thing!
I don't care about her fiance's orientation. I don't care about the pegging. Enjoy! I just can't imagine myself procreating with or pegging anyone I'm related to -- even if we're not super-duper related.

I have no idea who my third cousins are, so I could see this happening.
i feel like this would make a very saleable t-shirt.
Not knowing and falling in love with your third cousin -- cool.
Being raised with your third cousin all of your life and having a baby with him -- gives me pause.

Can you advise me how to trademark it? I will give you a cut of all sales.

Okay, I'll admit to checking out my cousin. Once. To be fair, I didn't know he was my second-cousin until afterwards, but I'll promise it ended at a passing glance.
excellent.
and thus, ghostofville apparel was born!
I got caught flirting with someone I didn't know was my second cousin once as a young teen at the orthodontist's office.
And in my late twenties (the guy's mid-thirties, I think) another second cousin tried to pick me up at his grandmother's viewing. Aside from the confusion between funeral parlor and singles bar, who in the hell did he think would be at that viewing other than people he was related to?
What exactly IS a third cousin?
Your parent's second cousin's kids?
My mom has 200+ first cousins as it is so chances are if I dated anyone in north western Minnesota I'd be related to them in some way!

Hahahahahahaha.
My cousin and I went to the same college when I was 23 and he was 24 or 25. We used to go to the bar together, until we had to quit hanging out because he had girls tell him he was a pig for coming to the bar with me, and then trying to leave with them. I'll never forget the day he called me and said "Huber, I'm in your hallway. I hear a man's voice in your bedroom, where the ** did you end up last night?"
But yes, imagine my shock when my grandma told me it was my cousin milking the cows and I walked in to find the hottie from the gas station.
Damn.
Here's a cousin table, lol!

Tarpon is really bothering me with the bi-erasure and lack of knowledge of shii!t like the Kinsey scale. I also hate that she keeps calling him a "gay man". He's not gay, he's been balls deep in vagina and he likes it so he's not flucking gay. She needs to read a book or four hundred on gender and sexuality.
Wouldn't they be your second cousin's once removed?
I DON'T KNOW. Pet my hair?
Second cousins once removed would be your parents' second cousins. Their kids are your third cousins. Removed indicates a different generation.
