    Are you guys having bad winter storms? We had one last week that did quite a bit of damage in several states.

    So much damage done, mainly up North - extreme flooding, feel so sorry for them
    Compared to them, we were not too bad @Bess Barber

    @Faye Fox

    "ian" ending a surname means "son of", generally applied in Armenian

    According to @Frank Sanoica that means he's Armenian.

    @Al Amoling

    For example, the originator of Alvin and the Chipmunks name was Ross Bagdasarian. The "ian" means "son of".
