Yes .. if you mean suppliers/distillers .. most of the folks selling EO

are wimmens.

Naaaaaa .. we ain't like that .. we share out moonshine and loan out our

pickumup now and then .. its the dawgs and wimmens that you don't let

nobody touch.

That's a big fer'shur. I have about given up on Idma. Fact is, and I

tell folks this all the time .. Oils & Herbs is the kindest and most

friendly list I know of .. folks don't spend a lotta time jostling each

other for ego positions.

I hear you. As for jet lag .. losing hours can be overcome in a day but

gaining them takes a heckuva lot longer. Always has been that way and

the US Army has recognized this as a problem for deployment.

Hawhawhaw .. Doc knew you a long time afore y'all jumped the broom so I

reckon he knew what he was getting into.

Believe me ... it is. Her and her husband, Michael O'Neil are both

great researchers and writers.

Well .. I want y'all to read O'Neil's books. ;-p Some of these wimmen

were commissioned officers .. some were black and some white and some

American Indian .. they worked for the North and the South. Some were

also snipers .. danged good shots they were. Plus .. a lotta wimmens on

both sides dressed as mens and performed duties as soldiers.

 

The most flamboyant wimmen spy was Rosie O'Neal Greenhow .. a famous

society lady of the time .. big Washington, D.C. parties and such. She

compromised many members of Congress and even folks on Secretary of War

Stanton's staff. She's credited with being the driving factor behind

the South winning the battle of Bull Run (Manassas). She was jailed for

a while for spying .. then let loose by certain Congressmen. ;-p Then

she went to Europe to drum up support for the South. She drowned while

escaping a Union gunboat in the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, NC and

was buried with full military honors. But she was not the most famous.

The most famous Confederate female spy was able to perform her duties

without ever being detected .. by the time they knew she existed she had

beat feet for England. I'll tell you her name in the future. ;-p But

I'll tell you now that she was against slavery .. as was the case with

maybe 90% of the folks who fought or spied for the Confederacy.

 

I will tell you now that Elizabeth Van Lew was probably the most famous

Yankee female spy. All of those wimmens .. North and South .. were true

patriots to their causes and damn good at what they did.

 

> Time for an Irish coffee and some rose petal jam on a biscuit.

 

Sounds good .. I had a bitta Wild Turkey 101 last night .. thought it

would make me sleepy but it didn't. But then, when one is reading

Kathleen O'Neil Gear it ain't easy to put the book down nohow.
