Stylish Blogger Award



Imagine my surprise and utter amazement when I received an email notifying me that JWR over at Survival Blog had awarded Paratus Familia with a Stylish Blogger Award!  I am honored.

As with any blog award, there are rules that govern them.  The rules of this award are, 1) I must divulge 7 things about myself and, 2) nominate 15 other blogs for the Stylish Blog Award.

Here are seven things about myself:

1)  My real name is not Enola Gay.
2)  I grew up field stripping M16's rather than playing with Barbies.
3)  Sir Knight and I watch way too many movies.
4)  I know how to jump start a 24 volt battery system with a 12 volt car battery.
5)  "Red Dawn" was the defining movie of my teenage years.
6)  I think they based the character of "Burt Gummer" in the "Tremors" movies on my husband (and my dad always thought I would marry a "bleeding-heart liberal"!)
7)  I am a second generation survivalist/prepper.

Now for the hard part!  I don't read fifteen other blogs, and some of these Blog Awards are going to be redundant, but here goes...

My Stylish Blogger Awards to to.... (in no particular order)


So that is it.  I don't read blogs, with the exception of those listed here, so my list is pretty short.

I do thank Survival Blog for this prestigious honor.  I am humbled.

  2. Your real name is NOT Enola Gay? You are not the namesake of the a-bomb-dropping airplane of WWII? That's a shock!

    Burt Gummer is one of my favorite all-time characters. If you're married to a Burt Gummer type man, I guess you can handle any number of Graboids that come your way. Cool!

    Congrats on the award. You are very stylish, in a wholesome way!

  8. Irrigation Saline??? Where do you buy that from if you have it on hand. I'm an old OR scrub tech - even surgeons use that for infected wounds to pack the wound with at times (infection can easily can happen in chaos of bad times) and that has worked for my family .. even in a chainsaw accident etc. just change the wound's wet dressing several times a day. I've tried epsom salt mixtures but it didn't work as well. Dh is a paramedic.
