Amazon Carts & Discovered Siblings

Welcome to Gen X TrustFall; the podcast dedicated to planned and unplanned midlife changes and the ability to trust in the unknown.  I’m Carla Loomis.  Today’s episode answers some 21st century problems that didn’t exist when Gen Xers were young.  First, what is in your Amazon cart and which child/family member/friend put it there?  Which address will it be shipped to and whose credit card is whose? Chico girl Rhonda and I discuss the positives and negatives of having almost immediate access to dog poop bags, clothing, and party decorations. Next, how would you react if you discovered that you have a half sibling out in the world?  Thanks to DNA kits like 23 & Me and Ancestry.com, how many of us will eventually find out that we have 4 brothers instead of 3?  Or that we actually do have a sister, and she better not be cuter than me! My interview with Rachelle, who discovered an older sister about 10 years ago, had me asking myself how I would feel in her situation and whether I would react with as much class and grace as she did.
