  1. In reference to Nana's silver impregnated bandaids and bandages. Check out the advantages to the silverlon products. I have been watching the development of this product for 5 or 6 years now. It is truly amazing stuff. Read about it here: http://www.silverlon.com/ I have used the Colodial silver in a spray for burns for a long time, it helps prevent infection which is the cause of most of the scaring from burns.

  2. Thanks for the info on the Swanson flu products...... That is a big help. I know that reducing fever is not a good idea for colds or flu. It is the fever that kills both the bacteria and the virus. We also need to learn the ways of controling a fever to keep it from going to high and to learn what is "to high". posted by Lois
  3. If we put our thanks and comments for Nana here she can keep the post clear for additions. May I start by saying you have done an awesome job Nana! Posted by Lois
  4. Loving and caring for you family means being prepared to face the possibility that they might get sick, very sick. Learning what we can do to save their lives or possibly just make their dying more comfortable. Not nice things to contemplate, but if we don't, who will?
  5. This one uses a small amount of yeast to get it started. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sourdough Starter 1-1/2 cups lukewarm milk 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 2 cups unbleached white flour 1/4 cup spring water 1. To prepare the starter, place the milk in a mixing bowl. 2. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk. 3. Whisk in the honey and 1-1/2 cups of the flour. 4. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature (72 to 76 degrees F.) for 72 hours (3 days). 5. After 72 hours, stir in the 1/4 cup water and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup flour. 6. Cover again with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours; the mixture should be bubbly and have a sour, tangy aroma and taste. 7. Remove the amount of starter the recipe calls for and set aside. 8. Transfer the remaining starter to a sterile' glass jar and replenish it by mixing in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  6. Works great to remove tiny thorns and thistles, too. We have also used it to hold plastic over windows at camp, or to seal air leaks around the window. Temporary patch on sole of moccasins. have taped the metal cover back on a coffee can before replacing the plastic lid to keep mice out of stored oatmeal in pantry.
  7. each must decide how they will handle this *Cover-Pixie
  8. I don’t think this should be more than a statement of a possible way to get food provided they know how to handle firearms. Wild crafting- Shady Pine w/ Wilderness Survival Basic how to Information Is there something that you think should go here? General Checklist- Personal Checklist We can do these along with the index after all the other info is compile. Any one else?
  9. put a weight on your long wick, (a small screw or washer maybe) drop it in your container, fasten other end to bamboo skewer layed across top of jar, pour in melted wax and let cool. Remove skewer, trim wick and light.
  10. That is high praise from someone I admire. Thank you so much for your kind words. I will hug Westbrook
  11. It can be done even on a fixed income, we tend to forget that getting ahead on payments saves on the interest also, which cuts down the number of payments needed to get through 18 to 24 months, also it will be in waves, the Drs expect 3, which means that some things will pick up for 3 to 6 months at a time, so not a total loss of income for the entire time period. edited to add: As an example on a $60000.00 mortgage the 1st payment consists of $79.01 on the principal.... $225.00 on the interest for at total of $304.01 payment By the time you get to the 80th payment it is $197.82 principal... 105.20 on interest for a total of $304.01 Of course it all comes down to the size of you mortgage and how long it is for and the interest rate. If you can just pay $100 extra on the principle for a year you are over a year ahead.
  12. Thanks Nana for working to get this done early so we could use it in the manual. Really appreciate all your hard work for us.
