Hello Miss. Just an upgrade on your condensed milk post. I believe you are referring to SWEETENED condensed milk, which is not the same as condensed or evaporated milk.
Did you know? If Titanic had hit the berg straight on, it probably would have stayed afloat. Fewer watertight compartments would have been breached. Plus, if the lookouts had their binoculars, they may have seen the berg in plenty of time to avoid it. But the binocs were locked up and the man with the key had gotten off at Cherbourg. Why they didn't just break into that locker, we'll never know, but I would guess it comes back to hubris, the real reason Titanic sank.
Yup. USA immigration officials used the lists provided by the ship, which were filled out in the country of departure. So most errors can be attributed to problems on that end, or just immigrants who wanted to change their name for whatever reasons.
"She read that if it hasn't been used for 90 days, it would be unusable." Actually that's backwards. After 90 days the number is available to reassign. Depending on the area, it may be reassigned immediately or it may takes months or years to need that number again. In very busy areas, numbers can be reassigned just 30 days after disconnect.
My brother owns a choose and cut Xmas tree farm. I can confirm that a lot of people are getting trees early this year. As of Sunday 11-19 30 trees sold . And since he's not officially open until the Friday after Thanksgiving, people are calling to ask to come early. Don't fret. This tree farm has been around something like 60 years and the regular customers, some for 40 years or more, generation after generation, are valued, and my brother operates an honor system at the pay shack. Put your check or cash in the box and Merry Christmas.
