I Won't Send you Canned Lunchmeat
Anyway, back to what I was saying - No one will sell or give away your address. No one, except me, will use your address for any purpose whatsoever and the only thing I'll use it for is to send you a newsletter four times a year about the status of my book, book signings, contests to win a signed copy of my book, etc. So, if you're interested, please feel free to sign up! :)
My little Brooklyn is sick and crabby tonight and doesn't want me to put her down. I think the stress of the past month and my cold have finally caught up to me also and I feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest, so I'm leaving tonight's post to Trish...
Ok, Ladies. I have to be honest. When Dawn first offered to run my blook tour for TGASS, I was a bit nervous. Because you all love her so much, rightfully so since she IS AWESOME! I felt like the friend of a friend being introduced as the new kid in school. And yes, I felt like the geek. Then, the morning after Dawn posted the blook tour, I checked in and there were NO COMMENTS - ZERO! I was devastated. I called Dawn immediately on the phone and told her I was sorry, I must be a blog killer. Like first degree murder, I would be forever known as the blog killer.
But praise God, you all accepted me – Thank you! I am overwhelmed by your response and interest in supper swapping. And I encourage you to give it a try….
And BIG NEWS - I HAVE DECIDED SINE YOU HAVE SHOWN SUCH AN INTEREST IN SUPPER SWAPPING AND THE GREAT AMERICAN SUPPER SWAP I WILL BE GIVING AWAY 1 FREE BOOK FOR EVERY 100 COMMENTS POSTED BY FRIDAY MIDNIGHT. SO PASS THE WORD TO ALL YOUR GIRLFRIENDS. SO FAR WE ARE UP TO 6 FREE BOOKS AT OVER 600 COMMENTS!
Dawn wanted to post some more advice for you ladies. Here are the steps to get you started. These are from my site.
1. START WITH WHO YOU KNOW – Ask a neighbor, a girlfriend, or a co-worker to
give it a try.
2. HAVE COMMON GROUND – Either live nearby, attend church together, or work at
the same company so delivery can be easily coordinated at that common location daily or
3. PLAN 3 MONTHS OUT - Choose and plan your meals for at least three months at a
time, and write or print them on a meal calendar so each family knows what is being delivered
for dinner each night.
4. START WITH FAMILY FAVORITES - Choose recipes to start with that are your
family favorites. New recipes should be tried out on your individual family before they are
introduced into the co-op.
5. AVOID PAN-DEMONIUM - Use 9x9 or 9x13 glass Pyrex pans with snap on blue lids,
semi-disposable Zip-Loc containers, and Whale of a Pal Tubs for soups and stews. Rotate them
through the group (See the Pan Formula in my Great American Supper Swap book)
6. HONESTY TASTES BETTER - When you establish your meal calendars, be honest
and up front about food likes, dislikes, and allergies to avoid problems down the road.
7. BUDGET MEALS - Buy ingredients in bulk for your meals when items are on sale. Try
to budget recipes so you don't make two expensive ones back to back. (i.e. pot roast is more
expensive than pizza burgers)
8. ADAPT DELIVERY TIMES - Delivery times can vary depending on what works for
each family. If you deliver at dinnertime, have the meal cooked and ready to eat. If you deliver in the morning, have your meal prepared but not cooked with baking instruction included.
9. BE FLEXIBLE - Be flexible with one another when life throws you a curve ball, like a
sick child, a broken down car, or unexpected circumstance. Have a meal back up plan for those
nights agreed upon at the outset, like switching days or having pizza delivered if you are in a
10. RELAX AND ENJOY THE RIDE - Relax and enjoy the ride. Don't expect your supper
swapping group to remain stagnant or to last forever; some families may swap longer than
others. If a mom leaves, let them do so guilt free. We typically ask for one month's notice so we
can adapt our meal calendars.
You can get more information and recipes on Trish's website.
Trish has answered many other questions in the comments section of my Monday post "You Mean I Only Have to Cook Once a Week?" To recap - Trish will be giving away 1 free book for every 100 comments left on that thread. We're up to 6 free books right now. It's not too late to get in on the contest - just leave a comment on the Supper Swapping post with your name and email address and we'll enter you in the drawing.

Congrats on the book deal! I expect a liner note of thanks to me. I won't buy it unless I see my name. ;)
Can I participate in the TGASS if I do take-out? (You can't see the smirk on my face hinting at sarcasm, and I've already used a winky emoticon.)

Fantastic Dawn!!!
You take care and get well, so thrilled there is a book in the pipeline xx
- September 19, 2007 at 11:45 PM
Why do we all feel like you're such a good, old friend? That is the mark of all your success to come--we just all relate so easily to how genuine and caring you are and how truly funny!!(an absolute understatement)I, like millions of others, have rolled on the floor laughing until I cried reading your stories. Thank-you for all the laughs and for sharing your life and family with us!!

I can't wait for the book! I bet you are the next Erma Bombeck! I hope Brooklyn feels better soon!

Thanks for checking in, even when things aren't going well. It can get downright stressful when you have to set aside the fun stuff to take care of everything else (including you). Hang in there!
I hope you enjoy the ride. Please remember to pace yourself. Say "no" when it means your health, or the health of your family.
Most of all, thank you so much for sharing yourself and your family. By making us laugh at the everyday things, you've shown us how to "get over" the small stuff, and feel better about our jobs as moms.
God Bless you!

Get some rest! Whenever things are going on or we are on a trip one or more of my brood takes ill. I'm trying to get two of them well right now from a trip we just took. Put your feet up you deserve it!
I am really interested in that supper swap. I'll definitely be getting one started soon!

Our church brought over MANY meals after my wife's first mastectomy. We were touched by their generosity, but not always by their taste in food. I'm sitting in the hospital room while my wife sleeps. The ONE THING that our daughter asked of us this time is that we DON"T let people bring food over to the house. I have to agree. No one cooks like my wife. How can one be honest about someone else's food that you don't particularly like? I don't want to hurt their feelings.

CONGRATULATIONS Dawn! I am, along with a million others, quite happy for you and proud of you.

And, Trish, thanx for the great supper swapping ideas. I want to try this with some co workers if possible.
Best wishes to you and yours!

Get some rest, Dawn. it isn't good to feel elephants on your chest. See a Dr. and have someone take care of YOU for a change.

Trish: "some more advice for you ladies" ... hmmm ... I bet there are a lot of stay-at-home-dads out there who like the idea, too
Dawn: get better ... you know, our kind does not get sick days (we might get sick, but that does not change our work status :) )
- September 20, 2007 at 3:03 AM
Can men trade(swap meals)also? Just looking for something different than the same old. Great you have a book coming. Love to read about normal people.

I LOVE those Keep Austin Wierd shirts! My DH and I had a weekend without kids in Austin about 4 years ago (it was sooooo nice to act like adults for a change!). Anyway, we bought one for our daughter, and now that she's outgrown it, our son wears it. I'll be so sad when he outgrows it.

- September 20, 2007 at 6:24 AM
We bought one of those t-shirts for my daughter when we were there for the Austin City Limits Musical Festival. I think Austin is one of the coolest places on EARTH.
Get better soon

***CoNGrAtUlAtIoNs*** on signing with an agency! This must feel so overwhelming to you.
I am looking forward to watching your piece on ABC World News...any info on that air date yet?
I hope you get some rest (yeah right), and start to feel better.
Donna, your loyal blog reader from Brockport, NY :)

I'm so excited about the book deal! YAY! I wait in line for this book but not for Harry Potter, now THAT'S commitment! Hope you and baby feel better!
- September 20, 2007 at 7:40 AM
you crack me up, girl! i just had to say...i think that program you saw about spam may have been about austin MINNESOTA. austin, mn is the spam capitol of the world and a big festival every year. (weird.) i lived in rochester, mn which is 45 minutes from there, so that is the only way i know this. they have this huge spam museum and everything. what do you think they have in there? i bet petrified spam! you could relate to that, right?

You know your worth all this praise. I get on your blog *at work*, because personally it helps me get through my day, and I enjoy the help you give me. I know that I can do it, I can raise my children, that your words inspire me. I know I can handle all that they throw my way. Let me give you an example. I dont like messing with the teeth thing with my kids, I get faint, lol...Well, my son lost one of his teeth in the middle of a church meeting Monday Night! Ran by me to drop off his bloody tooth on his way to the bathroom, I was a wreck. Then, the NEXT day, he decided to fix the broken rake with duct tape. He cuts the tape with his teeth like most macho men do, and out pops another one. In he runs to show me his bloody smile, and me, I just swoon for a minute then regain composer.! Thanks for helping us through all our days!!

Dawn, I posted a comment about supper swapping and was 1 of the first 100, but didn't leave my email IN my comment...Thinking you would get it thru me signing up to post?? Anyway, to make sure I am entered for a chance at a book my email is firstname.lastname@example.com thanks for all the laughs everyday!!

Hee hee hee! I'm from Austin...Actually a suburb of Austin called Round Rock. My hubby saw a bumper sticker that read, "Keep Round Rock Slightly Unusual". Ive got to get me one of those...

Hi Dawn -- I just wanted to clarify; SPAM is made in Austin, Minnesota -- not Texas. If you ever get to Minnesota call me -- I'll take you to the SPAM museum. It's awesome. I promise I won't make you eat it, though.

Ok I screwed up the one time I posted for free book. I didnt leave my email addy? hy did I do such a stupid thing? Because my 3 and 4 yr old boys took a pitcher of juice into my diningroom and sucked it up with the sweeper. I had one HE** of a mess to clean up. Now my sweeper is dead and my blood pressure has risen to a point where I hear my heartbeat in my ears!!! Calm Calm. I am leaving my email addy now. email@example.com Thanks Elisabeth

actually.. the SPAM festival is held in Austin MINNESOTA rather than Texas. :)
It's just a couple hours from where I live. They have a whole museum full of this mystery meat memorabilia.
Enjoy your blog and take on parenthood!

Get well! The kids will take over the house if Mom is not there to stop them....trust me, i was a kid once myself....our favorite game to play when left to our own devices? How many times can you walk around the living room without touching the floor....walking on couches, chairs, end tables, televisions, etc.
- September 20, 2007 at 9:50 AM
I live in Austin, Texas!!! And Spam-a-rama is a hoot. The cooking contest is the grosses thing ever. Oh, and the Spam toss. That's disgusting.
Glad you got Austin a t-shirt. We prefer to keep Austin "weird." Who wants to be normal?

I just had to say, I love your blog. Though I am not a mother yet, I am a nanny to three kids age 6, and twins who are 5. It is defintely an adventure everyday!
You make me smile!

p.s. My 3yo always wants me to scroll up so he can look at the silly baby with chocolate all over her face. Cracks him up!

I'm leaving this on here so that you might see it sooner. I just got the forward of your Ebay auction. It was freaking hilarious! Fortunately I only have one daughter (for now) and am adamant (now) to stop at two! LOL Thanks for such a great laugh!! When I saw that you have a blog, I had to come check you out. I am a fellow blogspot blogger. (mrsbfw.blogspot.com) Come check it out if you find a free moment! :o)
- September 20, 2007 at 11:29 AM
Yea! Keep Austin Weird! I love Austin, I live outside of Houston, but my husband went to school in Austin and most of his friends live there, so we're there a bit. Plus, we almost MOVED there this past summer. I have a shotglass that says Keep Austin Weird.
YOU CAN'T SUPPORT THE KEEP AUSTIN NORMAL MOVEMENT!!! For another thing, it doesn't make any sense because Austin isn't and has never BEEN Normal. Where else do you come out of Maggie Moo's Ice Cream to see a jogger jogging in the left turn lane in the middle of Guadalupe, one of the main drags, and of course it's terribly busy!!!
Mmmm.... Ice Cream...
Keep up the great work! You've actually inspired me to start working on the book I want to write about understanding and communicating with teenagers. :)

Dawn, Congratulations on the progress towards getting your book published. Also, Trish, I really like your ideas about Supper Swapping - just want to let you know that there are men reading and learning too - not just ladies. Blessings to both of you and much success!!

I'm from Austin Texas, too. Yes SPAM is made in Austin Minnesota, yes they have a party, but so do we. Spam-A-Rama is only a tiny part of our weirdness--just ask any Austinite about Leslie, a skinny wrinkled ~50-year-old man who hangs out on street corners downtown wearing little more than a thong and a feather boa. Between him and the giant bat colony living under one of the main bridges, it's a tossup as to who's the city mascot.
- September 20, 2007 at 12:34 PM
I'm not sure how to email you. Saw your grocery shopping story in Funny Times. Thought you'd like to know what I saw abandoned with the tabloids in the check-out line the other day - a package of fake blood capsules. I wonder how it got there!
- September 20, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Hello Dawn And Hello Trish!
What a blessing to finally be leaving a comment here. I've wanted to for some time now, and finally am able to.
You two are fast becoming the first place I go to as soon as I sign on in the mornings. I love you both so much already!
Dawn: a friend of mine emailed me your ebay auction and since then, I've read every possible write you've written on your site. Can't wait to get your book! Isn't the Lord just awesome?! You've been in my prayers everyday since I "met" you (e-met) and I will keep it up in your behalf.
Trish: I'm a Trish too! I'm not a Berg though, instead, I'm a Ballard. And I love to cook, love to talk about cooking, write about cooking, swap recipes about cooking, host parties and fellowship where there is cooking...uh, did I happen to mention that I love cooking? In fact, baking is my "forte'" and I hope one day to go into business...but don't publicize that on the web or anything because I am not ready yet. LOL
Dawn and Trish both: I also am a Christian AND aspiring writer. (That's not a writer who takes aspirin. That's a person who is waaaaaaay down low on the totem pole looking up at all you published folk, wishin'...) :)
The one thing I don't have in common with you two fine ladies is that I'm not married and therefore obviously do not have children. The Lord just hasn't brought all that to pass in my lifetime, so I have gotten busy taking care of everybody else since I don't have a family of my own to look after, and well, that is where all that love and cooking, writing, baking, gardening, canning and such comes in.
SO: could ya'll pretty please enter my name in on the Supper Swap Cookbook give-away? And if I don't win one, then I am ordering one. You're stuck with me one way or the other, now, Trish! :)
Dawn and Trish: both of your websites (Dawn, your blog) have been a joy to browse. Love hearing about your children, family, home and all the things that make you two YOU.
Well, I am going to get off here for now and get back to paperwork. I'm at the office where I work for a trucking company - most of my postings/emails mostlikely will come from this address although the majority of the time I "use" my home email addy. Are you confused yet?
Both of you take care and have a blessed evening. The Lord smile upon you and yours.
Your New Friend, E-Pal, & Supper Swapper,
Trish Ballard

I had no idea Austin, TX had their own thing with spam until your post on this. Well they may have Spamarama but Austin, MN is the oonly spam town usa. :-)

I cant wait till your book comes out. OH and I have to tell you... I am a nanny for 3 boys and this morning I was getting them up and ready for school and today was "sheet" day so I took their sheets off and got their pj's and came down to do laundry and ended up washing a pull-up with all the sheets and pj's. It was such a mess. I could not believe that had happened just after reading that you did the same thing.

Hello Dawn,
Well I've done it. I received my e-mail with a link to your auction earlier this week and was hooked. I had to read your whole blog. I started in the archives and read from June. My Word from the Herd e-mail goes out to family and friends who share with their family and friends. I use to brag that I had about 150 readers. I think you have out done me. My little family of daughter 8, son 6, and twin 4 1/2 year olds is fun filled. I vow never to get my boys and Spaz in the same room together. Namely the bathroom. I'm afraid their fascination with water and toilets could me disasterous. I know my spelling is terrible. I am in a hurry to get back to my laundry that I have put on hold for several days. I sat at my computer for over an hour last night reading your blog. Way funnier than laundry.
I pray you and your daughter feel better soon. God Bless and I look forward to reading your book. Amy
If you would like to check my blog it is by invite only. I have registered to receive book info so you can e-mail me, Amy Kerr, at that address and I will send an invite. Because I know you just have so much free time to sit and read your computer screen! Love ya'
- September 20, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Hey Dawn,
You signed with a wonderful agency. You will be in good hands. They have some amazing authors including my fav, Robin Jones Gunn. Now you can be an official "Sister Chick" too!

Congrats on the book deal, Dawn! You rock. ;o)
I noticed that you have several links up on the side regarding children who are ill or disabled as well as various organizations which support kids/families dealing with such issues. My little guy has a "diagnosis" of Polymicrogyria. It's not actually a diagnosis, more like a description of what can be seen on MRI. He's 20 mos. He doesn't sit, roll over or crawl--yet. He is heartbreakingly beautiful and babbles almost constantly--a very happy boy.
My blog is linked in my user name, above ("C"). I'd be honored if you'd consider adding a link to my little Q's story.
And of course, I'd LOVE a copy of the supper swapping book! ;o)
Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Dawn! I know you're busy, busy, busy, but if you have a mo, do drop in to collect some Bling I have for you - a 'Nice Matters' award, and a 'Bodacious Blog' award! No need to carry forward the tag if you don't want to, but your blog has given me so much pleasure the last few weeks I thought you deserved these!
Hope your little 'un is feeling better soon.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful Ideas of supper sharing I have posted a link to the blog in one of my frugal groups so I could share the wonderful discovery I have spoken to a few friends about it in my area and quite a few are really keen to give it a go! Once again thank you!
- September 20, 2007 at 4:08 PM
Congratulations on signing with the agency! Here's looking forward to the first book (get a big advance)!

congratulations, I can't wait to read it...can you do a book on tape too? For all of us, like you; who don't have time to read!! I can listen while driving the kids too and from places!
Thanks again for all of the laughs and get well sooN!
XO, Tiffany
- September 20, 2007 at 4:41 PM
Dawn, I have never posted before... so here goes. I just think that you are wonderful. You make it possible for me to wake up each day and just be the mom I want to be. Not the mom others say they are being. Thanks.
I think the supper swap would be great if I didn't have a child on such a restrictive diet and a husband that doesn't like anything but cereal and oh ya, cereal. So I guess that I'll have to wait for them both to grow up. I still think it is a great idea.
Congrats on the book and just to let everyone know... I think we got it that the Spam place is in MN, but who cares, it was a funny comment and that was the point! Luv, Cindy
I guess I need to put my email in to be included for the book... firstname.lastname@example.com

Okay - love TGASS idea - I went to Trish's website - lots of great ideas - in fact I want to buy all your books.
Dawn, congrats on the book deal - I look forward to finding it at a Borders near me with a big, shiny kiosk all dedicated to YOU.
Sorry if I submitted my name more than once at your site - I hit submit but then it didn't do anything, then I hit submit again (I know - it's like pressing the elevator button repeatedly). So sorry if I was a bother.
Can't wait to see you on ABC News. So exciting. I keep telling all my family back in Chicago about you (yes I'm a Chicago native now enjoying the Buckeye state) - we've really enjoyed all the fun you've brought us.
- September 20, 2007 at 6:42 PM
YAY, Dawn! You GO girlfriend!
Just read your last entry...which took a couple of minutes. Then I thought, "Hmmmm, wonder how many visits she's had?" So, I looked at the counter at the bottom of the page...935,170 visits! Then refreshed the page...935,259! That's 89 visits in approximately 4 minutes!
Now, with that in mind...
QUESTION: Are advertisers lined up at your doorstep chomping at the proverbial bit to sign you up/richly reward you for placing ads on your blog? If not, they're NUTS!!! You'll be hitting the 1 million views mark before long!
HEY, MATTEL! It's called DAMAGE CONTROL! Get some here! (grin)

hmm, I like (no, love) your posts and writing style, however I'm not crazy about Trish taking over. I'd rather you skipped days then feel you need to hand it over to someone else.
Oh well, I'm sure others are fine with it. I'll keep checking in for a while, and I'll hope it doesn't sway too far from what made you so special in the first place. No offence to Trish of course, I'm sure she's delightful, she's just not you. Val

Can't wait for the book, Dawn! Get well soon.
On the Austin, TX versus Austin, MN issue: yes, the canned meat is made in MN, but down here in Austin, TX, we have many quirky annual festivals, one of which is Spamarama http://www.spamarama.com/history.html. It's held during our 100+ degree summer heat, and includes a cook-off and Olympic-style sporting events, all featuring the aromatic potted pork product. Needless to say, the stench of Spam invades a 10 block radius on that day. Ewww....

Dawn and Trish,
Thanks for your refreshing (yes, I mean that!) reflections on motherhood. As a mom of five, I enjoy reading about your trials and tribulations, er, I mean about your delightful days. I'm looking forward to the book. We're a home-school family, so maybe we could find a way to network with other families and count this as a home-ec project. Now that's something to think about. Hmmmm...
Keep writing!

I have an Austin too. I MUST know where to get those shirts!
- September 21, 2007 at 10:06 AM
I was going to write kind of a nasty comment because, quite frankly I was offended by Trish continually addressing everything to "ladies." But I decided to give being nice a shot. I realize she might not understand that it's exclusionary and well, just plain unneccesarily sexist.
I know most of Dawn's loyal readers are women, but not all. It doesn't feel very good to be treated like you don't exist.
Please remember there are some guys out here. Thanks.
- September 21, 2007 at 10:29 AM
Agree with VAL COX, not a fan of Trish, not just Ladies that read this hugely entertaining blog, hoping I will be able to get hold of your book on the other side of the pond.

This poem kept the order of things in my mind as my children were growing up. I always thought that the title should change as needed, for example "Song for a Fifteenth Child", for my grandma, bless her soul. Or "Song for a Sixth Child" for you. LOL
"Song for a Fifth Child"
Mother, oh mother, come shake out your cloth!
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing and butter the bread,
Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking!
Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
But children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby. Babies don't keep.
by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton
(first appeared, Ladies Home Journal, October 1958)
I hope Baby is feeling better.

A friend just forwarded your ebay acuction for the Pokemon Cards to me. All I can say is it made my day. I am a SAHM, Homeschooling mom to 5 kids ages 1 to 10. I just sat at the computere and Laughed and laughed til I was about crying. My children of course thought I was losing my mind! Thanks for your honesty. Just found and am reading your blog. God bless you!
I keep thinking I'd like to start blogging, but I am stuck on what to call my blog, "confessions of an insane homeschooling mom???" Hmm, would you read that??
Also I am interested in the Supper Swapping although I find it a bit intimidating. My kids are hard to please, but anything to make my life easier would be great. Although my friends who cook for 1 or 2 of their own kids might not want to swap w/ me for a family of 7. It's worth exploring.
- September 21, 2007 at 5:26 PM
I like the idea so much, I may have to make more friends. Since I normally keep to myself :O)

You must understand that Austin is just supremely weird. I know this because I grew up there. The Spamorama does not surprise me.

I live in Austin and see the Keep Austin Weird shirts all the time. A few months ago I saw this bumper sticker. "Keep Round Rock mildly unusual". Round Rock is about 15 miles north of Austin. I thought that was so funny!

(Newsy) (Newser) – It's a story that's generated it's fair share of Breaking Bad headlines: Secondary school teacher Macphallen Kuwale was slapped with three-and-a-half years in prison after detectives say they uncovered a million-dollar cocaine operation inside his home. According to the Guardian, police found more than 100 grams of cocaine, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cutting agents, and a pressing machine in the alleged cocaine lab. As one South Wales detective told the Mirror: "He was involved in street level dealing as well as a sophisticated wholesale operation … It was totally unusual. It is not something that you come across everyday."

Alexander John McDonell and Ellen McPherson are the great great grandparents of Keith. They are his grandmother Mary's father and mother.
Alexander John has been discussed in past posts. He appears in the 1861 Canadian Census for Pontiac County, Quebec with several of his children: Mary, Rachel, Duncan and Finley. In this census it states that he was born in Upper Canada (Ontario) and that he was 66 years old which means he was born about 1795. This census also implies that Ellen, his wife, died before 1861 for she is not listed with the family?
The burial location of Alexander John McDonell and his wife Ellen McPherson is not known at this time. They do not seem to appear in the St. Alphonsus church records.
Based on Nellie's and Miriam's charts featured in past post, they had the following children:
1. Alexander McDonell was a hotel keeper and was born before 1825. He married Margaret (Maggie) MacDonald and they had three children: John, Winnifred and Duncan. He does not seem to appear in the St. Alphonsus Church Records and the Canadian census for1851 and 1861 does not list him or Maggie for the Pontiac County area??
2. Ronald McDonell was born about 1825 and died 15 Sep 1862 in the St. Alphonsus Church Cemetery and is buried in the church cemetery. He married 28 June 1852 (St. Alphonsus Church records) Janet who was born about 1833 in Upper Canada. They had 6 children. In a future post this couple will be further discussed.
3. John McDonell born about 1825 and died 22 January 1860 and is buried in the St. Alphonsus Church cemetery. He married Christiana on 7 October 1848 in Chapeau. John and Christiana (Christy) didn't have any children recorded in the St. Alphonsus Church records even though they were married 12 years before his death. Marriage Source: Quebec Baptisms, Marriages and Burial Index, St. Alphonsus Church Records, #M10, FHL#1029797 and also at Ancestry.com under the Drouin Collection. A search of the 1851 and 1861 census does not reveal a John or Christiana in the Pontiac area?
4. Hugh McDonell was born about 1834 in Upper Canada but his death is unknown. He married 24 May 1858 (St. Alphonsus Church Records) to Ellen. Ellen was born about 1835 in Lower Canada and died 20 June 1920 and is buried in the St. Alponsus Church Cemetery. They had 5 children. This couple will be featured in a later post.
5. Catherine (Kitty) McDonell was born about 1835. She married a John Fraser 7 October 1855 (St. Alphonsus Church Records) and they had three children: William, Ella and Lincoln. Ella married a Fred Fielder. Again Canadian census information does not give much information on this family. John's parents were John Frazer and Mary Kennedy. Marriage Source: Quebec Baptisms, Marriages and Burial Index, St. Alphonsus Church Records, #M7, FHL#1029797 and also at Ancestry.com under the Drouin Collection.
6. Jennette (Jennie) Catherine McDonell was born about 1836 and died 2 September 1916 buried on the 4th of September in the St. Alphonsus Church Cemetery. Jennette's story is very interesting. She first married Angus John McDonald (Big Angus) and after his death she remarried to Thomas Payne. Jennette will be discussed further in a future post.
7. Rachel McDonell was born about 1838 in Lower Canada and died 8 January 1881. She is buried in the St. Alphonsus Church Cemetery. Rachel was listed in the 1861 census with her sister Mary and father Alexander. Apparently Rachel did not marry. Burial Source: Quebec Baptisms, Marriages and Burial Index, St. Alphonsus Church Records, #1328, FHL#1029797 and also at Ancestry.com under the Drouin Collection.
8. Mary Elizabeth McDonell, Keith's grandmother. Mary and Archibald are featured in many posts of this blog.
9. Duncan McDonell was born about 1842 in Lower Canada (Quebec) and died 6 May 1910 and is buried in the St. Alphonsus Church Cemetery. He married Elizabeth Sauve the 27th of February 1865 according to the St. Alphonsus Church records. They had maybe 15 children? Duncan and his family will be further discussed in a future post.
10. Finlay McDonell was born about 1845 in Lower Canada (Quebec). Nothing more is know about him. It is possible he migrated further south into Ontario. Note: If the census was dated 1861 and he was born 1845 that means that the mother Ellen may have died between these dates?
The Canadian 1861 Census for Rachel states that she was born in Lower Canada. Duncan and Finlay are indicated as being born in Lower Canada. Mary McDonell (Keith's grandmother) gives Upper Canada as her birthplace. The information I have places her year of birth at 1840. Her sister Rachel's birth year is suspect? Still this implies that the family moved or migrated about 1840 to the Chapeau, Chichester area?
In summary the sources are
Nellie and Miriam's charts – see the past posts for this blog dated June 17, 2011 and July 21, 2011
The St. Alphonsus Church Records see post https://macdonellfamily.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/records-of-the-st-alphonsus-church/
and Elaine Brown's book http://www.personainternet.com/etbrown/alphonse.htm
and the Canadian Census go to Ancestry.com or the Family History Library catalog.
More research needs to be done and more sources checked for each of these families such as a land, probate, newspapers, histories and more. Maybe a trip to Canada is in the future!!!
Clarification: I refer to Wikipedia's articles on Upper Canada and Lower Canada to explain these political divisions and the time they were in existence in Canada. So there might be some confusion about birth location such as Duncan and Finlay because it then becomes Canada West and Canada East. (See link to Upper Canada) Also understand the settlement pattern was very different then and not as expanded and developed as today. "Upper Canada existed from 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 and generally comprised present-day Southern Ontario."

Reader ReviewsQuick Summary
View movie reviews
Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home.
But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard.
Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert?
Starring Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Sheridan Smith

San Francisco Giants winner announced as part of MLB and 'PEOPLE' magazine's "Tribute for Heroes" campaign honoring the nation's veterans and military service members
Major League Baseball and PEOPLE magazine today announced the 30 winners of the "Tribute for Heroes" campaign, a national initiative that recognizes veterans and military service members and which builds upon both organizations' commitment to honoring our country's heroes. Gil Calac has been selected by fans to represent the San Francisco Giants.
Branch of Service: US Army
Duration of Service: 6-10
Hometown: White Swan, WA
Major League Baseball and PEOPLE magazine today announced the 30 winners of the "Tribute for Heroes" campaign, a national initiative that recognizes veterans and military service members and which builds upon both organizations' commitment to honoring our country's heroes. Gil Calac has been selected by fans to represent the San Francisco Giants.
Branch of Service: US Army
Duration of Service: 6-10
Hometown: White Swan, WA
Calac of White Swan, Washington, has done much for veterans since he served in Vietnam and received the Bronze Star for meritorious service. Calac, a member of the Paiute/Mission tribe of Susanville, California, and his wife, Valerie, a member of the Yakama Nation, live on the Yakama Indian Reservation. Before retiring, Calac worked as the Center Director of Fort Simcoe Job Corps Center. He is also a member and cultural leader of the Yakama Warriors Association, a veterans organization. As an honor guard member, he participates in flag ceremonies and burials of deceased veterans. Calac was instrumental in getting a Vietnam Veterans Day proclaimed in Washington State, working for months with Representative Norm Johnson. Now each year, March 30 is Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.
Calac will join one winner representing each of the 30 MLB Clubs to be included in All-Star Week festivities (private tour of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, a VIP reception on the Intrepid, All-Star Red Carpet Show Presented by Chevrolet, Chevrolet Home Run Derby). The winners also will attend and be honored during the pre-game ceremony leading up to the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field July 16th on FOX beginning at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT).
Fans nationwide cast their votes at TributeForHeroes.com to select 30 winners from a pool of 90 finalists.
Along with MLB and PEOPLE, a guest panel including General Peter W. Chiarelli (retired) and General John M. "Jack" Keane (retired), alongside MLB players Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers, Nick Swisher of the Cleveland Indians, Barry Zito of the San Francisco Giants, Jonny Gomes of the Boston Red Sox, Brad Ziegler of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chase Headley of the San Diego Padres and Craig Stammen of the Washington Nationals assisted in the selection process for the 90 finalists, who were then voted on by fans to select the 30 winners.
The "Tribute For Heroes" campaign supports Welcome Back Veterans (welcomebackveterans.org, powered by MLB.com), an initiative of Major League Baseball and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, which addresses the needs of veterans after they return from service. Major League Baseball has committed more than $23 million for grants to hospitals and clinics that provide post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment to veterans and their families in a public/private partnership with "Centers of Excellence" at university hospitals throughout the country.
As part of its 2013 charity initiative, PEOPLE First: Help America's Veterans, 'PEOPLE' is partnering with Welcome Back Veterans and three other nonprofit organizations that are committed to providing assistance to military men and women, and will feature them in multiple editorial stories in 'PEOPLE' throughout 2013.
Currently, Welcome Back Veterans funds programs at The University of Michigan, Rush University Medical Center, Duke University, Emory University, Weill Cornell in New York City, UCLA and the Boston Red Sox' Home Base Program at Mass General Hospital in Boston. These institutions are developing new programs and strategies to improve the quality, quantity and access to PTSD and TBI treatment for veterans, particularly those returning from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Digger Cashes-In For Fox Network
Remember how much effort our friends at Fox Sports put into naming the new animated gopher Digger? Now we know the reason why. This from the FoxSports.com website.
Due to high demand, "Digger," the popular cartoon gopher of Gopher Cam fame, is now featured on t-shirts. FOX Sports, in conjunction with Chase Authentics, has designed a t-shirt for Digger's growing legion of fans. The Digger t-shirt will be widely available for sale at trackside merchandise rigs all season long beginning this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, and from a variety of web sites, including www.FOXSports.com on MSN; www.goracin.com; www.speedtv.com; and www.dwstore.com. The high grade shirts, which come in both youth and adult sizes, are priced from $15 to $21.50. Additional apparel and novelty items, including baseball caps and plush toys, are expected to join the Digger line in the near future.
Are you going to get your Digger T-shirt? The Daly Planet welcomes comments from readers. Simply click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the directions. Thanks for stopping by.

I will not be getting a Digger T-shirt. I wish that each time they go to a Digger camera shot, they would go to wide camera shot of the field instead. I don't dig, Digger.

Not only no, but to quote Juan Pablo, "Hell no."
If Fox thinks they can make a buck off this, more power to them. Might be a hit with the kiddies.

Of course no one here would buy it. JD, why ask that question when you know the general opinion of "digger" on this site?
- March 15, 2008 at 3:06 PM

as far as "might be a hit with the kiddies": i have 2 young (7 and 4) nascar buddies and they would never, ever wear that shirt! maybe someone else's young fans might, but not these guys! it's their driver shirts or nothing on race day.
my biggest fear is that i'll see it on someone at dover and be unable to stop laughing long enough to watch the race!

JD, I don't mean to be rude but, I don't know why you would be confused. When we first saw "digger" on FOX a good majority of Daly Planet users had negative comments about that camera angle. I think this just added to the fire.

I wonder if Fox thought of this t-shirt idea this past week, or if they were planning this all along when they were broadcasting the Daytona 500? If so, they contrived to use that animation everytime they went to the gopher cam. LOL

Anon 3:24PM,
If they had negative comments, then they did not like it.
Fox created this from scratch, including the animation and the licensed character. Now, we know why.
Can you see ESPN selling Draft Track T-shirts?

If the Digger T-shirt is a hit, then the "new" NASCAR fan is dumber than I thought.

SURE,I'll run right out and buy one, right after I pick up the latest U matic video tape machine, a Blu Ray dvd player and an 8 track tape deck. What jerks these Fox-o-philes be!

Television rights fees means networks must find ways to fund their rights payments.
Cable companies have the ability to charge extra per-subscriber fees.
Networks cannot. Fox is intelligently finding a way to take shirt revenue and pay the rights fees just like advertising revenues.
If one extra Digger shirt sold means enough to pay Fox's rights fees, then race fans find a way to pay for Fox's rights fees, and that is just another way to pay for the rights fees for NASCAR.

hey bobby? even taking what you say at face value -- that a true nascar fan would buy a fox t-shirt in order to help fox pay its rights fees! -- the issue is that damn gopher! stupid marketing trick and definitely suspect that it received sooo much promotion prior to the "naming of the gopher" episode. now, a t-shirt.
well, all i can say is: if fox needs to help pay for its rights fees, this ain't the way to do it!

If I had a child I might buy them a Digger shirt or possibly a gag gift for the Nascar fan who has everything. I bet there a lots of people out there that will they are not the people who post on this site.
Hey Red maybe I'll see you at Dover I will be the one NOT in a Digger shirt

If I bought one, I'd take it to the farm, secure it to a bale of hay and use it for target practice.
JD, when are you going to blog about the topic of a drivers union which seems to be the hot topic this week? Or did I miss it?

I guess I'll have to take the hit and admit that I see nothing wrong with Fox selling the Digger shirts. I'm not going to buy one, but if someone thinks that it is a cool use of technology or likes the little critter, I have no problem with it and would definitely not belittle or criticise them if I saw them at a race with the shirt on.

I have enough real freakin' gophers digging up my front lawn, so no way on God's green earth do I want another one, real or otherwise, in my life. If Fox ever runs out of gophers, my boxer, Jake, would be happy to provide Fox with as many as they want. Since he loves bringing me his lawn conquests, I would be happy to box them up and overnight them to the Hollywood Hotel.

If Digger is going to be a kid-friendly part of their souvenir collection, do it.
A nice little mascot that kids can associate and have fun is not a bad thing, considering too many times we've seen the "adult" content of too many television shows in the past.
After all, this is supposed to be family-friendly, and having something for the kids isn't a bad thing for anyone to consider. I'd rather have kids playing with Digger than some of the smut I've seen on F1 grids.

Cable companies have the ability to charge extra per-subscriber fees.
Networks cannot.
They can, however, charge more for commercial ad time, if they wish. Trust me, Fox can generate plenty of revenue without having to sell this t-shirt.
No, I don't plan to buy or wear this ridiculous shirt.
The camera itself is fine. But spending time, effort, and money promoting is suggests a lack of understanding about what's important in this sport.
"Demand" for this shirt came solely from the marketing department, not from fans. I can't imagine they actually got ONE request for such a shirt.

The FOX camera work in general is absolutely pathetic. All it consists of is one high-speed shot after another with a few bumper cams and digger thrown in.
Meanwhile... a nice wide-angle shot would actually let us fans see what is happening in the race.
It really isn't that hard to figure out is it?
John... do you have an e-mail address for the people who produce NASCAR on FOX?

If the driver's union issue includes TV at any point, I would be happy to include it for comments.
Right now, it is just kind of a knee-jerk reaction to the Atlanta tire problems.
Drivers and their teams are independent contractors, and under no obligation to show-up for the next event. This simple fact has always slowly helped the union issue to fade away over the last ten years or so.

Humulin 50/ 50 pens
Generic Name: insulin isophane (nph)/insulin regular (IN-su-lin EYE-soe-fane)
Brand Name: Examples include Humulin 50/50 and Novolin 70/30
Humulin 50/ 50 pens are used for:
Treating diabetes mellitus.
Humulin 50/50 pens are a combination of an intermediate-acting and a fast-acting form of the hormone insulin. It works by helping your body to use sugar properly. This lowers the amount of glucose in the blood, which helps to treat diabetes.
Do NOT use Humulin 50/ 50 pens if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Humulin 50/50 pens
- you are having an episode of low blood sugar
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Humulin 50/ 50 pens:
Some medical conditions may interact with Humulin 50/50 pens. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you drink alcoholic beverages or smoke
- if you have heart problems (eg, heart failure); kidney or liver problems; nerve problems; adrenal, pituitary, or thyroid problems; or diabetic ketoacidosis
- if you use 3 or more insulin injections per day
- if you are fasting, have high blood sodium levels, or are on a low-salt (sodium) diet
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Humulin 50/50 pens. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clonidine, guanethidine, lithium, or reserpine because they may increase the risk of high or low blood sugar or may hide the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, if it occurs
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), disopyramide, fenfluramine, fibrates (eg, clofibrate, gemfibrozil), fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (eg, phenelzine), oral medicines for diabetes (eg, glipizide, metformin, nateglinide), pentamidine, propoxyphene, salicylates (eg, aspirin), somatostatin analogs (eg, octreotide), or sulfonamide antibiotics (eg, sulfamethoxazole) because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased
- Thiazolidinediones (eg, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone) because the risk of heart failure may be increased
- Corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), danazol, diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), estrogen, hormonal contraceptives (eg, birth control pills), isoniazid, niacin, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), progesterones (eg, medroxyprogesterone), somatropin, sympathomimetics (eg, albuterol, epinephrine, terbutaline), or thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because they may decrease Humulin 50/50 pens's effectiveness, resulting in high blood sugar
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Humulin 50/50 pens may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Humulin 50/ 50 pens:
Use Humulin 50/50 pens as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- An extra patient leaflet is available with Humulin 50/50 pens. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
- Use Humulin 50/50 pens within 30 to 60 minutes before a meal, as directed by your doctor.
- If you will be using Humulin 50/50 pens at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Humulin 50/50 pens. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Carefully rotate the vial or container as directed before each injection. This will ensure that the contents are evenly mixed. This combination insulin should look uniformly cloudy or milky.
- Do not use Humulin 50/50 pens if it contains particles or clumps, is discolored, or if the vial or container is cracked or damaged.
- Do NOT dilute Humulin 50/50 pens or mix it with other insulin. Do NOT use Humulin 50/50 pens in an insulin pump.
- Use the proper technique taught to you by your doctor. Inject deep under the skin, NOT into muscle or a vein.
- Injection sites within an injection area (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) must be rotated from 1 injection to the next.
- Be sure you have purchased the correct insulin. Insulin comes in a variety of containers, including vials, cartridges, and pens. Make sure that you understand how to properly measure and prepare your dose. If you have any questions about measuring and preparing your dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for information.
- Humulin 50/50 pens begins lowering blood sugar within 30 to 60 minutes after an injection. The effect may last for up to 24 hours.
- Do not share pen or cartridge devices with another person. Sharing these devices may pass infections from 1 person to another. This includes infections you may not know you have.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
- It is very important to follow your insulin regimen exactly. Do NOT miss any doses. Ask your doctor for specific instructions to follow in case you ever miss a dose of insulin.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Humulin 50/50 pens.
Important safety information:
- Drowsiness, dizziness, light-headedness, or blurred vision may occur while you use Humulin 50/50 pens. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Humulin 50/50 pens with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Do not drink alcohol without discussing it with your doctor. Drinking alcohol may increase the risk of developing high or low blood sugar.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose, use Humulin 50/50 pens more often than prescribed, or change the type or dose of insulin you are using without checking with your doctor.
- Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Changes in purity, strength, brand (manufacturer), type (regular, NPH, lente), species (beef, pork, beef-pork, human), and/or method of manufacture may require a change in dose.
- Illness, especially with nausea and vomiting, may cause your insulin requirements to change. Even if you are not eating, you still require insulin. You and your doctor should establish a sick-day plan to use in case of illness. When you are sick, test your blood/urine frequently and call your doctor as instructed.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Humulin 50/50 pens before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- If you will be traveling across time zones, consult your doctor concerning adjustments in your insulin schedule.
- Carry an ID card at all times that says you have diabetes.
- An insulin reaction resulting from low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) may occur if you take too much insulin, skip a meal, or exercise too much. Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose (eg, tablets or gel) to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or non-diet soda. This will raise your blood sugar levels quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.
- Developing a fever or infection, eating significantly more than prescribed, or missing your dose of insulin may cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
- Check with your doctor if you notice a depression in the skin or skin thickening at the injection site. You may need to change your injection technique.
- Proper diet, regular exercise, and regular testing of blood sugar are important for best results when using Humulin 50/50 pens.
- Lab tests, including fasting blood glucose levels and hemoglobin A1c, may be performed while you use Humulin 50/50 pens. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Humulin 50/50 pens with caution in the ELDERLY; if low blood sugar occurs, it may be more difficult to recognize in these patients.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Humulin 50/50 pens while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Humulin 50/50 pens, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of Humulin 50/ 50 pens:

Osteoarthritis (OA) most often affects joints in the hand, knee, hip, and spine but can affect any joint. OA can occur in 1 joint or several. It often affect one side of the body more than the other. Some people have symptoms that get worse, while others have symptoms that stabilize.
Hallmark symptoms of OA include:
- Increased pain and stiffness in the joint, especially when the joint is used or stressed (pain may subside while resting)
- Gradual loss of range of motion in the affected joint
- Joint instability, which may give the feeling of the joint giving out
- Grating or creaking sound when moving the joint
- Deformed or misshapen joints with or without visible nodes on the bones
- Swelling—joint may appear red or inflamed
Pain may be specific to activity and the joint affected. For example, knee pain may occur when climbing or going down stairs. Hip pain may occur when moving or bending.
If left untreated, OA can lead to significant disability.

For parents, the internet is an indispensable tool for keeping in touch with family and friends who may live several states away (or across the world). Connected technology makes sharing videos and photos a fast, easy process. However, as a recent New York Times article suggests, parents should be aware of the risks– no parent wants to find a photo of their 4-year old being used on a social networking site in a foreign country1.
When it comes to building an online reputation for yourself and your children, it's important to learn to be confident and competent online– in this way you can avoid the risks and keep your family (and your photos) safe. We have the following five suggestions for confident and competent photo sharing:
