23? Wow. How many of them are blood-related? If you don't mind me asking.
Just wondering

All biological, like I said. They're all maternal relatives and mostly great aunts and great uncles, so my grandparents' siblings. Most are married or in long term relationships, I can only think of two that aren't.

Oh you're counting great aunts and uncles! I call mine aunt and uncle, but didn't think to add them in. No way I could remember all of mine either, if I counted them. Also I'm sure I'd have way more than 23...
I do like the selection you've provided, though. Ivor! Idris! swoon
I think I'll go edit mine to add the ones I can think of now, it would get much more interesting then

It didn't occur to me not to! I love some of my aunts and uncles' names, too - especially Ivor!

Right, I was right about to correct my very silly mistake. You beat me to it. (:
I'm so used to saying the terms of: "blood-related" or "related by marriage" that I had completely forgot for the moment that "biological" in this terms means "blood-related"
But to me fair, you are counting your great-Aunts & uncles. I assumed this post was about first aunts & uncles. Otherwise, I probably would have posted my grandparents siblings as well. Oh well (:
Alright, sorry about that (:

My family considers great aunts and uncles and "first" aunts and uncles as one and the same, and that's how it works with cousins, too. Families are different like that :)
