On thread one, some place are recipes for making Gatorade from scratch.
LOL, your change makes me think of Grandpa Ira, when his kids came, it was cause they needed money, so he had two wallets, one in his bib overalls and the other, inside in his jeans.
The bib overalls held $2.00, that was all he would have to give the kids, these were grown ones, who did not want to take care of him, but wanted his money.
We let him come to live at our place, he slept in his camp trailer and kept his hog and cow with ours.
And I learned from him, all that I could.
Yes, on teaching kids to use guns, but not all kids, for some do not have gun sense and I have a daughter in that class, she simply is not the one to hand a gun to.
Whistles, maybe, but Bill and I worked out a different manner of danger alert, I don’t use my first name and he didn’t use his middle, so that is what we called out, if we wanted the other here and now, a snake or some other reason.
We have had strangers come into our camp, while out prospecting, and that is not always safe.
Glad you found us, haven’t had time for pings as yet.
Smart man that Grandpa Ira! ;-)
Fortunately both my daughters learned to handle firearms very responsibly. They could both load and shoot fairly accurately with handgun and shotgun. The second daughter is a crack shot with a rifle. The older daughter is a shotgun gal. I'm an oddball, I like my handgun. My kids were threatened to within an inch of their lives about *ever* touching a gun inappropriately. We had corporal punishment in our home even though I was a single mom they completely obeyed me in the gun department.
Now that they are on their own, I feel a lot more secure about them both knowing they *have* and can use guns. I know some gals and guys like you said that just don't seem to have the gene. They just need to stay away from the firearms. LOL
