Here are the 'Bs' 'B' BABCOCK, BACHILER, BACKAUS, BAGG, BAILEY, BAILSEY, BRIN, BAISCH, BAKER, BAKKEN, BALDRY, BALDWIN, BALGEMAN, BALSTER, BANWART, BARASH, BARGMAN, BARKER, BARNABY, BARNARD, BARNAS, BARNEY, BAR, BARR, BARRETT, BARRON, BARROW, BARTELETT, BARTELSMEYER, BARTTLET, BARTON, BARTOS, BASS, BASSETT, BAST, BATCHELDER, BEACH, BEAL, BEATTIE, BEAUMONT, BEBEE, BECK, BECKET, BECKWITH, BEDFORD, BEEBE, BEEDLE, BELAHLAVY, BELGRADE, BELL, BELLAMY, BENBOW, BENDER, BENSEN, BERGERON, BERKLAND, BERLIEN, BERRY, BERTHELOT, BESSEY, BEUMONT, BEVER, BICKFORD, BIDEAUZ, BIGA, BILL, BINGHAM, BIRD, BIRGE, BIRKMAN, BISCHE, BISHOP, BITTNER, BLACKBURN, BLACKMAN, BLAIR, BLAISDELL, BLAKE, BLATCHFORD, BLAZEK, BLISS, BLOOD, BLYTH, BOAZ, BOEDING, BOEHLER, BOGUE, BOISVERT, BOLLINGER, BONEWITZ, BOON, BOPP, BOSLEY, BOSTON, BOSWORTH, BOWYER, BOYER, BOYLE, BRADFORD, BRADLEY, BRADSHAW, BRADY, BRAGG, BRAMAN, BRASSFIELD, BREITWESER, BREN, BRENKE, BRENNEN, BRETT, BREWER, BREWSTER, BRINDLE, BROADWELL, BROCKMAN, BROCKS, BORST, BROWER, BROWN, BROWNING, BUNGUM, BURK, BURNETTE, BURNS, BURR, BURROWS, BUTLER, BUTTERFIELD, BUTTS, BYE I know there are a lot of them, and right now I am not sure just where they fit in, but, they are all on my Family Tree Maker.

Arby, all I know about our side of the Alexander, is that, a cousin of my mom's Clara Etta Johnson, married Clarence Alexander. They have at least 4 children, Oscar Alexander, Willard Alexander, Geraldine Alexander and Ronald Alexander. Clara Etta was born in Arlington (Washington Co.) Nebraska, and I am not sure where they were married, probably Arlington, NE. they were married 20 Jun 1908. Clara died in 1977, she was living in Monterey Park, CA in 1973, but not sure where when she died. My notes say she/they had 16 great-grandchildren. Not sure why the grand children were not mentioned, unless it was a mis-typing and it should have been just grand children. some genealogy with us. This is what this thread is all about, Many of the names are in old pine's family too, as I have both of our genealogys on the one Family Tree Maker.

The idea here is that everyone will join me and post their own list of names so we can see if any of us have names alike and then see what happens. We know there are several with 'Jones' in our past. I will just add the list of 'B's in this post. If I used each letter and make a sticky post of each one, there would be a lot of sticky posts and it wouldn't be the best. I will probably make either 2 or 4. I will divide it the best I can. But, please everyone else, add your list here too. Oh, Carr, no, it was Momo you called Mother. But, I can go in and fix it if you would like, or all you would need to do is click on the 'edit' button and fix it that way.

For those interested in finding family ancestors we will see about doing a post of last names. We will start with our ancestors with the letter 'A' then go to the 'B' and so on. I think this will make it a lot easier. I will start doing the post of just 'A', the next post will be 'B'. I am taking these names off of my 'Family Tree Maker', so right now I am not just sure where they all fit in. 'A' AASEN, ADAMS, ADCOCK, ADER, ALBANY, ALBERT, ALDEN, ALEXANDER, ALLEN, AMES, AMMER, AMOS, AMUNDSEN, AMYX, ANDEROFF, ANDERSDATTER, ANDERSON, ANDREWS, ANLIKER, ANNIS, APPLBY, ARCHER, AREY, ARMSTRONG, ARTLIP, ASH, ASHING, ATKINSON, ATTLESON, ATWELL, ATWOOD, AUSTIN, AVERY, AYERS, AYKENS, Now, if anyone has any of the names we need to see if any of our family fits in with the others.

Let me see, I am thinking that all of DH's relatives would probably be around Iowa and so who knows for sure. People did move around back in the early 1900's and 1800's too. I was sure there were Fergusons on my side too, and I checked. They are in Canada but, of course could be other places too. We could start a sticky post with all of our sir names if enough are interested. Oh, I know there are at least 3 or 4 of us on here who have Jones in our backgrounds. I was looking for the Survivor name list and I couldn't find it, so maybe it was deleted during an update to the site.

About 5 years ago, when Survivor started, we did something like that here, with names. Wow, my DH has Moore, as well as Ferguson on his side, and I have Bailey, way way back on my side. So I'll add a couple here: Bartlett Martin Lee Jones Gugin Clark Scott That is a start. It is the Lee and Jones we are sort of stuck on.

Those of us who live where the snow comes and is still with us, are really ready for Spring. We will be celebrating Mother's Day in May, and Father's Day in June. I wish each and every Mom, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother a Happy Mother's Day. I wish each and every Dad, Grandpa and GreatGrandpa a Happy Father's Day. These are important days even if the children don't remember to wish us the 'Happy' on these days. Without the moms and dads there would be no children and there would be no one left to enjoy the world that God has made for man. Therefore, if you have a mom, grandmother or Great-grandmother, dad, grandfather, or great-grandfather, please be sure to let them know how special they are. I for one only knew one of my grandpa's and he died when I was only 3, but, yes, I do remember him. ***** "Happy Mother's Day" Means More "Happy Mother's Day" means more Than have a happy day. Within those words lie lots of things We never get to say. It means I love you first of all, Then thanks for all you do. It means you mean a lot to me, And that I honor you. But most of all, I guess it means That I am thinking of Your happiness on this, your day, With pleasure and with love. ******* I'm not sure who wrote this, but it is good. ************* A Father and a Dad Are Not the Same A father and a dad are not the same: One can be a dad and not a father, Or one can be a father and not bother To earn through love the more endearing name. Some find fatherhood a bit too tame, Leaving all the details to the mother, Or dumping the sweet burden on another Man with just a passing twinge of shame. You have been our dad so many years That you've become the landscape that is home, The mountain that we look to from afar. No matter where we go we're not alone, For you remain within to still our fears And be the word that tells us who we are. ********************** Again, I'm not sure who wrote this poem. ******************* I want you all to know there is a new forum, but I am not adding it to any of the news letters, as each thread is from a different form.

They had no pension; their health was broken; they were defeated, discouraged, and afraid. They discovered they were booked on the same ship as President Teddy Roosevelt, who was returning from one of his big-game hunting expeditions. No one paid any attention to them. They watched the fanfare that accompanied the President's entourage, with passengers trying to catch a glimpse of the great man. As the ship moved across the ocean, the old missionary said to his wife, "Something is wrong. Why should we have given our lives in faithful service for God in Africa all these many years and have no one care a thing about us? Here this man comes back from a hunting trip and everybody makes much over him, but nobody gives two hoots about us." ************************** II.

Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.

Nature's Perscriptions: Healing With Honey by: Karen What Is Honey? Honey is the nectar of the herbs and flowers that grow wild in the fields and woods. The benefits from hundreds of herbs are carried in the form of nectar in the stomach of the bee, where they are subtly altered by the bee's diges-tive enzymes in ways that modern science has been unable to explain. New compounds are created by this process before the honey is regurgitated in the hive, concentrated by evaporation, and stored in the honeycomb. Honey contains (among other things) a complex assortment of enzymes, or-ganic acids, esters, antibiotic agents, trace minerals, proteins, carbohy-drates, hormones, and antimicrobial compounds. One pound of average honey contains 1,333 calories (compare with white sugar at 1,748 calories), 1.4 grams of protein, 23 milligrams of calcium, 73 milligrams of phosphorus, 4.1 milligrams of iron, 1 milligram of niacin, and 16 milligrams of vitamin C, and vitamin A, beta carotene, the complete complex of B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, iodine, so-dium, copper, manganese, high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, and formic acid ... and the list goes on. Honey contains more than 75 different compounds! Many of the remaining substances in honey are so complex (4-7 percent of the honey) that they have yet to be identified.

Adding both of these men to the list. It is real hard for all of you. Been there, done that. :usaflag2:

Will be a good place to go to find out many different things.

all for sharing your work with us. The bread and rolls all look so good. I love peanutbutter on fresh buns. Soooooo goooood. I use a piece of waxed paper or paper towel to put shortening on the top of mine, I don't use butter. It has been some time since I've baked bread, and with just me, I wouldn't be able to take pictures. You all did such a great job of showing us how you do it. again.

Glad to have you join us. Now where are the others who said they wanted to do more exercising and walking this year. I don't use a pedometer at all, but just try to keep track of the time I walk, (except for walking on the treadmill and riding the bike), and what all I do, then just sort of add them up and go from there. I think I may go back to a chart, as it might be easier to keep track as long as I'm doing more walking and riding.

all of you out there who want to walk and or exercise. Please join in this year and count miles. Here are some ways to count miles. Here are some things that count for miles. Walking and riding you count as many miles as you go, all other things are mostly 1 hour 1 mile. Gardening, mowing and the harder things, 1/2 hour to a mile. Stairs are 10 times down and up, or up and down, will make a mile. Please join in making miles count. Snowmom

Ok, I just took a quick look at the one with nail pollish remover in it. and it looks like it works like the rubbing alcohol when we singed the chickens. Don't know as it would be such a good idea but it probably would be fine if watched. But, then you have to watch all candles. Just never thought of using the nail polish remover as a candle before. I know there are a lot of people who use the soy as well as bees wax, and of course the regular paraffin. Never heard of nor thought about the paraffin giving off mercury and lead. So, looks like one really needs to use something else other than the paraffin. I've used paraffin all the time when I've made candles.

The Flu Clinic: http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthrea...&PHPSESSID= Did you have your flu shot??? Here is something interesting. Regular flu vaccine may help against H5N1: study: by: PureCajunSunshine http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthr...ge=1#Post174170 Regular flu vaccine may help against H5N1: study Wed Dec 26, 12:46 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ordinary seasonal flu vaccines may provide a small amount of protection against bird flu, Italian researchers reported on Wednesday. Their study is among the first to support the idea that getting an annual flu shot may help people's bodies fight off the H5N1 virus, which has killed 210 people in 13 countries and infected 341. Cristiana Gioia, Maria Capobianchi and colleagues at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome tested the blood of 42 volunteers who had been vaccinated against seasonal influenza. In the laboratory, they added H5N1 virus to the blood and found that in some of the volunteers immune system proteins called antibodies acted against the bird flu virus. They also found a few immune cells called CD4 T-cells seemed to recognize and act against H5N1 virus "and seasonal vaccine administration enhanced the frequency of such reactive CD4 T-cells," they wrote in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. "Our findings indicate that seasonal vaccination can raise neutralizing immunity against (H5N1 avian influenza) virus," the researchers concluded. This could help explain why H5N1, which only rarely affects people, is even rarer among the elderly, Gioia's team wrote. "This finding may be explained by hypothesizing that older people, although not previously exposed to H5N1 subtype, may have gained protective immunity by previous infections sustained by circulating influenza virus strains," they wrote. Several types of influenza circulate globally among people at any given time and these strains constantly mutate. This means flu vaccines have to be reformulated every year to match the mutations. Health experts around the world are trying to boost rates of annual flu vaccination for two reasons -- because flu itself kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people a year, and also to help the world prepare for a pandemic. These experts agree a pandemic is overdue, and fear H5N1 could cause the next one as it is constantly popping up among birds and a few people in Asia and Africa and among birds in Europe. If more people get vaccinated against seasonal flu, companies will make more of the vaccine and can quickly turn production to match whatever strain of pandemic flu, including some version of H5N1, that may eventually occur.

Urban Homesteading http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthrea...d=35&page=1 Again, there is just to much information to put it in here, but I will say one thing, there are threads about surviving in a city and you really need to check it out to see/read all the information. http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthr...ge=1#Post149209 Posted by Cookie Jar This article does not negate planning for long-term survival or the the eventual move to the desirable country/rural life. It's a here & now article. * Urban Survival – Advice For Beginners * By: Haumana 19 September 2004 Planning and preparing for survival articles are most often published with a slant towards those who live in a single-family dwelling in suburban and rural areas. That situation may not apply to some folks. What is the urban person to do? I am not a security specialist, but I chose to live in an apartment with wife and infant daughter during a 3 years-long job. Therefore, even though I have put thought and work into “urban survival,” please take my advice as being in the ‘for what it’s worth’ category and do your research and work beyond this very basic article. First, one should understand that daily urban survival is mission essential, so don’t get caught in only the long-term, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it disaster mode thinking – keep this in mind throughout your planning and preps. This doesn’t reduce the need to prepare for major disasters, but that mindset is not the same as learning how to walk down a street while being an undesirable and little noticed target of opportunity. You’ll have to develop and hone skills and preparations in both areas. The following general information on starting out in urban survival is based on personal experience and research. It deals mostly with selecting urban dwellings: Finances: If you have money, you can afford to make choices. This speaks for itself. As always, learn to be frugal and stay out of debt. If you don’t have sufficient funds, creativity will be essential. Location, location, location…: Selecting a dwelling is the critical part of this. For Americans having overseas posting with various government agencies and some companies, a threat assessment is made for the city/country/region and dwellings off embassy property are ‘allowed’ only if they me the minimum criteria for the local threat level. Your criteria for a dwelling should be just as methodical and as selective as availability and your situation permit. Selecting a neighborhood with multiple egress routes, low crime rates, close access to services, low potential of damage from flooding and other natural disasters starts your search. Closeness to “mutual support” partners in the area may also figure into this. The being close to your frequent work sites can save money on gasoline, but is not a main factor in security (although one must be practical). However, your routes to and from work should be planned to minimize risk exposure. Transportation: If you hope to leave the city in advance of a predictable problem, you will need your own vehicle. If you have limited choice in where you will live and bugging out is not an option for you, then selecting and securing a dwelling is paramount. In such a situation, transportation issues will focus on daily transportation security and anticipate the breakdown of public transit systems during disasters/crises. Apartment vs. Cluster units vs. Rental home: Location and availability often dictate your options. In all instances, here are some common desirable/required features that one should try to achieve: Solid overall construction. This is no different than looking for desirable construction when purchasing a house. You have seen the esthetically fair and flimsily built stuff that’s out there. Older buildings may be more desirable than you think. Look carefully before you sign a lease. Off-street and, preferably protected parking – 50-100 ft from the road is desirable. Well built protective surrounding wall/enclosure – 6-10 ft high is considered prime height. Grounds are adequately illuminated. Solidly built doors and frames at ALL entry-exit portals and dead-bolt locks (keyed if w/i 40” (1 meter) reach of any glass. If the entry portals are the only problem with the place, try to insert a clause in lease that allows you to replace (or negotiate to have the owner replace) any doors that are not up to specs and to allow you to re-key or replace locks at your discretion. If below the 4th floor, security-type grills for windows and doors w/ expanses of glass (got to have secondary egress from rooms with these grills). One advantage of living in a ground-floor dwelling is that the floor usually has more static and dynamic load-bearing capacity; keep that in mind, because of the need to store water, etc. Security system: This is a tougher one. A lot depends on how long you plan to occupy the dwelling and other variables. At a minimum, you should have the capability to observe the exterior areas at entry-exit doors. See other resources for planning this one and let them help you. Get more bedrooms than you need…I won’t bore you with the obvious reasons for this, but a saferoom with limited alternative power here is the labor intensive task worth doing and the extra storage space makes organizing your preps easier Either have rural retreat or learn small scale gardening: Your decision to stay in a city/urban area is one that I viewed as a temporary “evil.” I had family and friends w/i 2 hours of our apartment and pre-positioned limited resources. That was a start, but it wasn’t that hard to learn indoor gardening. Much indoor gardening is based on electricity being available for “grow lights” or a dwelling that has an outdoor area or lots of glass for sunlight. If you are a long-term urban survivalist, don’t just research this…get experience. Get to know your neighbors: Ideally, you'll do an ‘augenblink’ (a quickie “eye blink”) sizing up before you sign a lease and hope that you were correct in your assessment. Certainly, you want to know them after you move in. There is a lot more to urban survival than this. If you have specific questions, there are people and resources far more qualified than I am who can offer advice. For a military take on “urban survival,” you should consider reading Wiseman’s SAS urban survival guide and Army/military reference materials on MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain/Territory). Home security reference are numerous; Joel Skousen's "The Secure Home" and Dan Bower's "Make Your Home Into Your Castle" are two books worth reading. Mr. Skousen has a website. Remember, thousands of “homeless” people and people in war zones practice urban survival every day. It is not an academic exercise and it can be done, so get busy.

Well, you can find the answer to some of your questions here. Keeping track of preps, by: WormGuy To some keeping a spreadsheet is simple; to others a notebook is simple. With the way and places that people live we all have different storage situations. We need to try different approaches for storage and rotating our stocks until we find the one that works the best for our situation. Stocking supplies is the most important thing we can do for ourselves, and our family. The next most important two things we should do is date and rotate our stocks. These two things should be done in order to assure we are using our preps and not letting things get out of date. Here are some links to read so you can see how others are managing their preps. http://www.thefoodguys.com/foodcalc.html http://www.providentliving.org/content/dis...-4070-1,00.html http://standeyo.com/News_Files/menu.food.store.html http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthr...ge=6#Post121392 http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthr...ge=6#Post120006 http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthrea...ge=11#Post91453 http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthrea...ge=14#Post79494 http://www.mrssurvival.com/forums/ubbthrea...ge=22#Post31085 A question often asked is “How long does food stay good” Here are a few links to help answer this question. http://www.waltonfeed.com/grain/life.html http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/dp_fnut/HRAP/STORAGE/cupstor.htm This is how a few people do it: I only have five places where food prep items are located - and I do not spread it out any more than that or it would become impossible to keep track of. Of those locations... there is an order of rotation that ensures I keep a handle on it... pantry is current opened/usage items stocked with things moved in from the first tier storage rooms (there is two). Second tier storage areas have items that will not be used within a year's time (longer term items). Once a year, I rotate items from the second tier storage areas into the first tier storage that are ready to be rotated into use and then I replace with new products in the long term storage area. At the time that I do the rotation... I do a couple of inventory management things: First, I do a physical inventory and put in on my inventory sheets (computer spreadsheet) - this only get's done once a year and gives me a baseline to evaluate what needs ramping up and what is overstocked. Second, I clean the storage areas including the pantry shelves (vacuum up cobwebs, spilled items, and dust - wipe down surfaces) and move the first to be used items forward and put the recently moved in items at the back. While doing this I inspect the items and make sure nothing has developed problems. Finally, I date all new items coming in with the date purchased/stored(i.e. Jan 2008). This get's done once a year. Last year I started doing all my major restocking at the start of the year (prebuying to replace the current year's expected usage to lock in lower prices) and that makes this system work even better... as I just do all the inventory management and restocking all within a months time frame and then am done! It works quite well actually but requires carving out some time for the rotation/cleaning/inventory and saving your cash for the big annual restocking purchases. It's cheaper though and more efficient in my mind.

There is a post about sand candles in another forum, and so I thought I would put a couple urls here so you could see how to do it. http://www.mycraftbook.com/Sand_Candles.asp http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/moldedan...sandcandles.htm "If you're like me, you probably made a sand candle at some time in your youth. For me, it was when I was a second grader and participated in a summer program called the Beaver Bug Club. We dug holes in the sand box and the teacher poured the wax into them. That candle has been sitting on my mom's curio shelf for over 30 years! And while it is a great kid's project (if carefully supervised), there are lots of fun things that us grown ups can do with sand candles. For this project, you'll need: A large bucket or plastic dishpan. (I prefer a dishpan.) Clean sand Spray bottle with water A jar, glass, votive holder, ball, or other object to use as a form. A tablespoon you won't mind getting wax on Wax to fill whatever size hole you're going to make - I usually use a pillar blend wax, or just straight paraffin. You don't want to use container wax, it will be too soft. Primed wick appropriate for your mold/form - If my mold/form is votive size, I just use a standard zinc core votive wick. Dye and/or fragrance, as desired Heat gun Thorough understanding of Candle Making Safety" And there is a picture there too. http://www.bry-backmanor.org/oceanfun/oceancandle.html Make A Sand Candle This is a project for parents and children to do together. What you will need: Canning Wax Old Crayons Candle Wicking A Couple of Paperclips or Candle Wick Bottoms A Deep Tub or Box Clean Sand An old Pot or Can for Wax Melting A Stove or Hot Plate A Larger Pot for Water Pot Holders An Old Clean Paint Stick for Stirring Another Stick or Pencil to Hold Up the Wick Adult: Melt a block of canning wax over low heat in the old can placed in the pot of water - like a double boiler. Child: Pick out the old crayon color you want to use. Break the crayons into small pieces. Adult: Put the crayons into the wax to melt. Stir gently to distribute color. Adult and Child: Put sand into the tub or box. You will want a good 5 to 6 inch layer of sand. Dampen the sand if it is very dry, you will want it to hold a shape. Child: Make a bowl shape in the sand. Use your finger to make some legs for the bowl. Adult: Cut a piece of candlewicking the depth of the bowl plus about 3 inches. Secure the wick to a paper clip or the candle wick bottom. Tie the top of the wick to the stick or pencil. Child: Bury the wick bottom in the sand in the middle of your sand bowl. Place the stick or pencil across the top of the sand. Adult: Fill the sand bowl with the hot, melted wax. Double check that the wick is straight. Adult and Child: Let the candle cool. Go eat lunch and an ice cold popsicle. Adult: Check the candle by very gently moving the wick. If it moves easily you will need to let the candle cool some more. Child: When the candle is completely cool - according to Adult -, dig it up out of the sand. Wipe off excess sand over the tub. Enjoy your candle!! Warning: Please do not leave young children unsupervised near hot wax!
