Are you tired of Winning the Lotto??? links to surviving WTSHTF ALSO!

I am soooo tired of winning all these online lotto's! I must be the luckiest person around..Well on second thoughts,maybe not.I would wage a bet you are winning them too!Every time i check my email,i have won at least 1.and i check it several times a day.Most of them are from africa or the uk, but some are from other areas.Millions i have won i tell you..and all i have to do to get the info is tell them my name,age ,dob,address,phone # ...and they will ''secretly '' tell me what to do next! If you have not figured it out yet,you must not have an email addy..or at least never use it..I am talking about online scams! i recieved one yesterday that appears to have come from KRAFT FOODS! i alerted the co. and sent them the copy.i have yet to hear back from them.so please all of you out there...be alert..Do not give out information at all to any of these..if you have actually won a lotto,you will know about it.And i am pretty sure thay will not have a yahoo or hotmail email account! i am pretty certain of that...

here a few links to some places i have visited tonight..I love the idea of living off the grid(meaning not giving all that hard earned cash to the electrical companies),canning,preserving ,being frugal etc...I also am a believer in that we as a country is in for a fall..How bad,i don't know..how long,not sure about that either.But are hard times coming? DEFINITELY!
So it is a wise choice to maybe think on this and maybe be a little prepared in case it does...At the very least your family want starve...tHATS WORTH A LITTLE HARD WORK AND RESEARCH...anyway maybe you will find some of this helpful...i have...

Wildroots is a 30-acre radical homestead adjacent to the Pisgah NF in Madison County, Western NC. (about 45 minutes from Asheville).

How to Build a decent Wilderness Survival Kit..
A Wilderness Survival Kit is an absolute must if you spend any time away from civilization (hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc). There are commercial kits available out there for purchase, but building your own helps you to think about the what-ifs involved in living off the land, and also the opportunity to tailor the kit to your skill sets and tastes. I detail one of my relatively comprehensive kits below. I have listed each item and explained some of the various uses for each as well.

Wild foods like rosehips for example, contain a lot of vitamin C and can be eaten year round, they’re not that hard to find even in the dead of winter. Other foods are better in the spring, summer or fall. Learn which wild foods you can expect to find in your area, the best time to harvest them and where they can be found.
Personal sanitation will be critical. You will need to keep yourself clean to stay healthy. Wash your hands often to avoid transmitting germs to your face and eyes and to each other. Don’t use the same hand towels among the different people in your group if you can help it.

HELLO ALL AND HAPPY NOVEMBER !
just a quick update before i begin contest tonight...A lot has been going on this week in the world as well as in my family.I ask you all for prayers for us if you don't mind..We can surely use them..For any of you whom have read my prior blogs or over from myspace,my daughter has come back,but she still is not in rehab.We have tried but she is so defiant,that is still her way or nothing!I also know that some of the anger is from coming off the drugs,,meth...any of you whom has had this in your lives or loved one's know what i am talking about.And to those who don't ,thank god each day that you have not had to deal with this insanity! you can not imagine until you are in it,what goes on inside their minds and how it WILL effect your entire families lives.meth does not mind whose life it takes ,men,women,kids,rich,poor..will take as many and as quick as it possibly canso be aware of the potential at all times..and if you ever suspect your loved one on meth,,SEEK HELP IMMEDIATLY..and what ever you do..DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIES OR FEEL SORRY FOR THEM..IT IS THE DRUG SPEAKING,SAVE THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
...As much as i'd like to say it is on an uphill swing,at this point i still can not..i can only say that i do hear from her every few days now..she has visited with our 2 year old grandson ,but still has not been allowed to be around the 5 year old..he has had such a hard time these past 8 months ,not understanding how mommie could just leave,that we have not decided a of yet that it would be good for him to see her like this...she wants to see him so things will change for the better soon i pray.don't think we are being too hard ,we just have to put his best interest first right now...i have also found out that she is pregnant again ...so that has lot's of worries on my mind as well...
My son darrell and his fiancee,julie, are expecting! this is his dream come true...to have a family..he is 27. she will be relocating here to alabama in the next 3 weeks .she is from arizona..julie is one of the kindest hearted ladies i have ever met..i am proud to have her as daughter in law..she works with children and wants to make that her career.
The boys are doing good,,billy loves school,he is in kindergarten.we will be taking them trick or treating tomotrrow night and also to a church festival next wed.
We are still having problems with our rebellious teenager as well..he is 15.maybe that will chill soon..we keep him on a very tight lease right now ..have too until you can trust him,too many dangers out there now...
i also found out that one and only nephew and his girlfriend may be pregnant..they are sooo young and he has not finished school..he is a very responsible young man and she seems to be as well..but teens with babies....VERY HARD! a very long road ahead for them.He has not told his mom yet ,wants to make certain first.
and oh my gosh ...all the tough things going on around the world now....I feel so bad for all the people who lost homes and property to the fires in california..and to all the animals that suffered as well..just horrible..but maybe now the fires are mostly under control..everything in iran and iraq..and israel..just too many too mention..and then as well as all the presidential hopefuls ..it is almost confusing trying to figure out who stands for what anymore.
i hope all of you had a happy,safe and fun halloween and a great weekend!!!!on to contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Changing American Family

just setting here this morning ,thinking on a few things..mainly how much things have changed in just 40 years...the time i can remember..

i think on morals...
i was raised to say thank you and yes mam and no sir..you said the blessing at every meal and when you laid down at night,you had your prayer talk with god...if you needed something ,you asked for it..you did not just take it..if you borrowed something,you returned it and took care of it while it was in your care..
i tried as well to raise my 2 kids that way as well..my sons dad died before he was born in 1980. i was 17. a story for another time. remarried 2 years later to my daughters dad..10 years later we got a divorce,a very abusive situation, a story for another time... so the kids had half their life with a single parent..tried to be mom,dad and friend,which WAS not smart-just be which ever parent you are-be a friend when they are grown,until then -BE PARENT;
still tried to instill as much moral and unconditional love as possible...
I think on family...wasn't anything else like being at my grandparents ,taught me most of values,mom too, to trust .love , and most of all that they would be there for me no matter what as long as god allowed them...
now i am raising my grandson -age 2 and 1/2 full time and my 5 year old grandson i split time with the other nanna...i am glad they are here,i know where they are,what they need ,so i don't have to worry about things like that....
but what worries me is that i am seeing more and more of this..the problem is not that these babies /kids are being with us,the problem is they are missing out on a family structure..no mom and dad when they want to see them.it is nannas,aunts,foster, that tuck them in at night..what has happened in our culture??? seems it is more important to a growing # of young people to remain childless-but at the same time-making babies....Now don't get me wrong...these kids should be with the ones that will take best care of them...what i am asking is ,,,what in the hell has happened to the ticker inside you that just makes you fall in love when that little one looks at you and smiles??????? it is suppose to just warm your heart from the inside out.....NOT allow you to leave it....i just do not understand....

i am grateful i am allowed in this life to be as close to my 2 grandsons as i am..i am grateful for the friendship of my grandsons other nanna. we are proud to have them...but we can't do the things other grands do...we can't ''spoil and send em home''...we have to be the disciplinarian , it is not part time ...and as we get older i can't help but think on years to come..these bodies age quickly i am afraid
well , time to go...the little one beckon's ....
