John D. Wait for the Airedale. My very best friend for many years was an Airedale and the worst day in history was the day we had to put her down. She was really a character. I would get another but both Mulligan the cat and the subdivision bylaws say I can't.

Hey Marilyn How's the wx up there in NH?? Wx man on Tv last night said you guys up there in NE were just about to catch one hell of a blizzard... We finally got a pretty good snow yesterday, trouble is, the day before we got freezing rain on the roads, now it's covered with snow and there are multiple fender benders this morning out there - according to the radio... Ain't no party... the other day I bought a jug of egg nog... only had a bottle of Canadian Whisky to mix with it... the other 3 adults each thought something else should be mixed with egg nog.. actually my son agreed with me, (it don't make any difference) but the wife thought it should be brandy, and the d-i-l was in favor of rum... I just thought I'd ask the list to see how varied the opinions would be.. I signed up with the Airedale rescue group for an Airedale if one should come up any time soon... they are very good watch (guard) dogs.. and they can make good hunting dogs.. But if an Airedale (first choice) doesn't come up soon, I may get a Cairn Terrier (Scotty) as a guy has one pup out of a litter left.. I don't like his asking price, but if the pup is still avail when we get back from Oregon I may just go and get it.. a good friend of mine had one when we were young boys... named him McGee...

Our Scotch-Irish ancestors drank rum, and plenty of it, in New England anyway, as soon as it became available and they could stop making poteen from potatoes. Rum was easy to get as ships filled empty cargo holds on their return trip from the Caribbean, and later they even made it in Boston. People drank it all day to keep warm in the winter, or feeling better at other times...men, women, and even (watered down) older children...and most had great tolerance. Although they drank a lot of rum, it didn't make (most of ) them intoxicated as they were so used to consuming it. (OK, I'm not talking the Puritans here...most of the S-I were Presbyterians.) So...to keep a tradition alive (and because I prefer rum in eggnog), I vote for rum...and not the white kind, get the golden kind. Where's the party, and how come we're not invited?

Marilyn Actually I believe not only the Scots-Irish but the majority of the settlers drank a lot of beer and rum up until the British put up a Blockade on Boston... so nothing was coming in from the Caribbean, and with Yankee ingenuity, farmers learned it was cheaper to ship their "corn" to market in liquid form than dry form..!! and thus... Bourbon replaced Rum as a favorite liquid refreshment... You didn't get your invite to the party yet???

"And our children's cough syrup was Bourbon and sugar mixed with some water. It worked, too." And here I was thinking I was the only one feeding their kids alcohol! lol When Jade was a baby she suffered terribly when she was cutting teeth. Someone suggested I try rubbing her gums with brandy. I was so desperate one night I raced out and bought one of those tiny little bottles. You should've seen the heads turn when I got to the checkout! lol Anyway, it worked a treat and we ALL got sleep that night, and every night I had to use it on her gums. Oh, and her teeth never suffered from it, despite warnings from my infant welfare nurse! ;D Take care, Robyn. IBSSG Stockbridge, Georgia, USA Honey's Home of Genealogy www.robsfamily.com

Dear JDA, In response to your enquiry, I forgot to say that my father sneered at rye because it was a blended whiskey and could have most anything in it. Bourbon is a single mash product. I don't drink much of it for health reasons. I am limited to an occasional glass of wine, unless I go to KY, of course.

Dear JDA, Having been brought up in KY by a man whose dad was a Federal Revenuer, I can say that Bourbon is made from corn and the finished product is not blended with any other thing. It is aged in new ash (I think) barrels for at least 4 years. It is best taken alone. If you are going to mix it with something other than branch water, I would suggest rum or rye. It was my family custom to put rum in egg nog. Why waste Bourbon? We did put Bourbon in sweet potatoes. Delish! And our children's cough syrup was Bourbon and sugar mixed with some water. It worked, too. I think brandy is made from distilled (cheap) wine. At least it tastes like it. 20% alcohol at best. But now I am into opinion and you probably want facts.

The only Barber from that area in my database is the one who married one of my grandmother's sisters, Archibald Barber, b.1880 in NY. That's all I really know about him. Sorry I can't help more.
