DO YOU HAVE AN FAMILY EMERGENCY PLAN PREPARED?


Your Family Disaster Plan

  • Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disaster. Explain the dangers of fire, severe weather, and earthquakes to children. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team.
  • Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen. Explain what to do in each case.
  • Pick two places to meet:
    1. Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, like a fire.
    2. Outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Everyone must know the address and phone number.
  • Ask an out-of-state friend to be your "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Other family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know your contact's phone number.
  • Discuss what to do in an evacuation. Plan how to take care of your pets.

Family Checklist

  • Post emergency telephone numbers by phones (fire, police, ambulance, etc.).
  • Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1 or your local Emergency Medical Services number for emergency help.
  • Show each family member how and when to turn off the utilities (water, gas, and electricity) at the main switches.
  • Check if you have adequate insurance coverage. More.....

Quick Tip: Put about one cup of table salt in a large grocery paper bag. Put your silk plant inside the paper bag, roll the top down a couple of times and then shake the bag. The salt will remove the dust from the leaves of the plants. Just shake (you might want to perform the removal of your plant or fern from the bag, outside) the plant a little as you take it out of the paper bag to make sure all the salt is off the silk plant. more.......

VINEGAR TIP:
When boiling or steaming cauliflower, beets or other vegetables, add a teaspoon or two of white distilled vinegar to the water to help them keep their color. This will also improve their taste, and reduce gassy elements. This also works when cooking beans and bean dishes.
To add a zesty new taste to fresh fruits such as pears, cantaloupe, honeydew, or others, add a splash of rice or balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately to prevent the fruit from becoming mushy.
 from cracking when boiling add a tablespoon or two of white distilled vinegar to water. More.....

Amereica's Story
 
A little history:
Thomas Alva Edison Invents the Phonograph

"Mary had a little lamb" were the first words that Edison recorded on the phonograph and he was amazed when he heard the machine play them back to him. In 1878, Edison established the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company to sell the new machine.

Edison suggested other uses for the phonograph, such as: letter writing and dictation, phonographic books for blind people, a family record (recording family members in their own voices), music boxes and toys, clocks that announce the time, and a connection with the telephone so communications could be recorded. How many of these uses have become a reality today?

He is also reponsible for the Incandenscent light bulb, film, movie camera and hundreds more.

The argument with respect to oil drilling is not specifically about gasoline, diesel fuel and heating oil, "but more about all of the other uses of Petroleum that is not for vehicle use", but the thousands of things from Petroleum that we use daily.

It would appear that it will be next to impossible to ever replace all of these products from alternative sources, but an all-out assault in seeking these alternatives is a must! There are thousands and thousands of products derived from Oil. The product line-up is staggering, ranging from bubble gum to wax paper. Imagine your World with no oil to make all of the petroleum-based products, as well as the failure of the economy.  more.....
