But they are still sold under the Schickhaus brand. And, funny thing, they are only sold in the summer so I stock up then to be able to have them all year. Dot ps. Guess it would make sense to sell only in the summer if they are called "griddle" franks. ooo---This Email Scanned for Virus---ooo by ooo--- Norton Anti-Virus---ooo ----- Original Message ----- From: <Up2Nutrix@aol.com> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 1:36 PM Subject: [NJ-Memories] Schickhaus Franks > In a message dated 10/3/2002 7:25:12 AM Mountain Standard Time, > NJ-MEMORIES-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: > > > > How I loved Schickhaus hot dogs.. my mother would only by that > > brand.

Isn't it funny that names mean different things to people? A "Skipper" is a flat rock we kids used to try to skip across the water. A good skipper goes a long way others just plop. Another funny, my grandmother never said mop the floor she always "filed it" and sink was a zink. lol.

Hi, Skunk cabbage, Pee...Ewww! The high school guys used to take it and put it in the old fashioned radiators and it would stink up the school really bad. LOL Pat

I'd never heard of them before, although I did know that nonnative plants can pop up along beaches when their seeds get carried downstream on the tides from some other location. Birds sometimes show up in odd places for the same reason (only on air instead of water); that's how they believe the cattle egret got here from Africa in the last century.

My story isn't quite that good, but it's still interesting . . . and it also shows how RootsWeb can bring people together. I'd touched base with someone on another list who was researching one of the families on my mom's side, and I'd shared with her how I was trying to find my grandfather Beatty's family and hadn't ever been able to get anywhere. She gave me the name "Diane Ward Sives" and an e-mail address to go with it. Once I'd actually touched base with Diane Sives, which took a while, she referred me to Pat (the Pat who's on this list) for Beatty info. At the same time I asked her about the "Ward" in her name, since my great-aunt Nellie was a Ward by marriage. It turned out that Aunt Nellie's husband was Diane's grandfather's brother! We'd both been around the Ward monument works in Hackettstown in our growing-up years, and I wonder how many times I might have seen her back then. I'm older than she is by five years, so I probably would have thought of her as a snot-nosed little kid.

Hi, It is about 12:45 A.M. and they just said the hurricane is shifting westward again. It has been quite a day and night. We are getting squalls right now. The news crew said that the animals are rushing out of the swamps for higher ground. They had never seen so much wildlife. Especially deer and my daughter's friend just said she saw the deer in small groups heading for higher ground. They are trying to get out before the water rises too much. Tonight my kids were watching the birds about twilight. They were very quiet(unusual) and flocks of them were flying in circles. They would dart one way and then back the other. It was like they were trying to escape the storm and didn't know where to go. The large park near my home is a bird sanctuary. I don't believe these flocks were coming from there. The news was supposed to stay on all night, but since the storm just shifted again they have gone off for a few hours. Once it got past a certain spot they said it wouldn't swing back as close to us. It kept jogging a little more towards us earlier. So I guess I can go to bed for awhile. Thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We appreciate it. Pat

Has anyone heard anything from Pat? I haven't seen her online today, although I'll admit that I haven't been on much. I'm a bit concerned, since I know where Metairie (her home) is -- it's right at the mouth of the Mississippi, at the edge of the storm-warning area. If anyone knows anything, please e-mail me directly. Since I get the digest of the list, I wouldn't hear anything that's posted to the list until late tomorrow or even Friday if the list is at all slow.

Norma, Seabeans are also known as drift seeds. The majority of seeds making Florida landfall originate in South or Central America. These are seeds or fruits which fall from their parent plant, tree or vine and land or wash down into a stream or river. The seeds then travel downstream and arrive at the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, only to be caught up in currents leading to the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream loops into the Gulf of Mexico, cruises past the southern tip of Florida and then up the east coast of the United States. Many seabeans leave the Gulf Stream and head toward the coast of Florida, where some eventually land on the beaches and shorelines. These seeds are usually hidden in the layers of "wrack" - or lines of seaweed - that pinstripe the high tide line of many beaches. If you want to learn more about seabeans and the different plants and trees they come from you can go to www.seabean.com There is even a seabean collection in the Brevard Museum in Melbourne, FL. Seabeans are used in crafts, particularly jewelry. This is bazaar season in Miami (they are a big deal) and lots of the venders have seabean jewelry.
