Buddy System Pink
I would like people to write in pink (crayon, highlighter, sharpie, paint pen, anything) BUDDY SYSTEM, and then use it as a label they tape with clear packing tape to the back of their phone to remind women that it is in print, and it can make a difference if they are aware of
their surroundings, someone knows where they are and what they are wearing, and they are with someone who also knows self defense too. People who carry guns, if they don't keep their knees bent are easily pushed to the ground and when they fall on their gun or when they are beaten, their ribs are broken. That does not make it easier to escape or live.

Survival Kit
Have you made a survival kit with an Altoid tin? Alaska Granny is the only woman I found who has.
I made a survival kit in a book for people who are trying to have children and sometimes they die. Fertile Prayers: Daily Fertile Prayers. It helps me survive.
Kudzu
I talked with William Shurtleff on the phone once. He asked where I got the number and I told him which newspaper article listed his number. He asked if I was suggesting to people to get the young leaves. I said, no. I get the largest and darkest leaves because that is where the nutrition is. I cut up the leaves and juice the leaves in a blender with equal parts water.
The Book of Kudzu is free on Google Books. William Shurtleff, botanist, graduated from Stanford U. in botany and is an expert in soybeans, a cousin of kudzu. His wife and co-author, is Akiko Aoyagi. She did art and recipes in the book and the outside, I believe.

Who taught you the Buddy System? What is the Buddy System to you?
To me it is letting people know where I am going and using my safety awareness to watch my own back as well as I can. Men are taught something different. Have you read any articles for scuba dor sky diving? What is it for you?

Tim Ferris was abused as a child
One of my favorite writers was abused as a child. Two out of 5 boys and 3 out of 5 girls are abused as children, so why am I surprised! Tim Ferris is one of my favorite writers.
I have never made any money with Molested: Prayers by D. White, my pen name. I wrote Murder on the Silver Comet Trail, which is free on Kindle Unlimited.
http://fprayers.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2007-06-27T12:27:00-07:00 Go to "Older Posts."
The Older Posts will have the resources for people who have been molested. There were 600 people a week reading this book.

She Needs to Give Us a List
I do not know why I wanted to buy something my husband's mother might like?
My Mom has been gone for 10 years this year.
I do not know why sizing of clothes never adds up.
Nothing from any country fits the same.
I bought another robe for my husband's mother.
One was too big.
Will the second be too small?
Why did I try to please my husband's mother?
When Bob and I first started dating,
He asked me, "make a list of things you think I need? Please?"
I did.
He gave the list to his mother.
She bought everything on the list.
This is why I tried to please her.
She was generous when I barely knew her.
She gave everything her son asked for to him one Christmas.
We never gave her a list again.
We were afraid she would give us everything on the list.
I wish she gave us a list. --Charlotte Fairchild

My sister
My sister is not using the Buddy System and there is nothing I can do about it. I could give her a kubaton. I could give her some spray. She never read Murder on the Silver Comet Trail, so she doesn't know all the different things that might help her. The signs on trails do not mention the Buddy System. Freedom to be alone is a woman's thing since women have been under the control of men in society since the dawn of civilization. Women do not have the visual cues of the Buddy System that men have. Fire fighters, military, police, hunting, fishing, sky/scuba divers get articles in their literature every month. Two in two out, watch you back, I got your back, Buddy System are all in every journal and perhaps email. Prison guards do not use the Buddy System. Too many times a guard is alone with a large group of people who are criminal.
Meanwhile, my sister does not have the Buddy System. If only there were an app.

Masks become pockets
This is the link! Make this mask to protect your ears and your life!
I make these with zig-zag as my only stitch. I make a "pillow slipcover" type textile. Most of the stitches are inside the mask. The pattern is an 8 inch by 10 inch picture frame matt someone gave to me. I use a titanium wheel for a Fiskars rotary cutter on a cutting board I bought for $10 at Corelle Outlet in St. Augustine, Florida last December before Christmas. I try to make 10 masks a day.

April Retirement
Two weeks after my retirement, I walked into Town Center Mall and met a couple who needed to get married. I offered to marry them, and they gave me a marriage license. I took it, filled it out and mailed it. They are legally married. They said their own vows. We had witnesses.
The last memorial service I gave was for someone who was 102 years old. The first memorial service was for someone 2 months old. I can help.

Buddy System in music?
I have come to the conclusion that I need to sell stuff. One way to raise funds, I am selling stuff at cheaper prices but not cheap enough. After Dad died 55 boxes and 22 large pictures came to my house. I am happy with thrift store cross stitch pictures. I don't need other art so much, but I know the value of the art and heck if I am going to give it away. At auctions that is what happens. No one ever brags they paid 3X as much as anyone else for something!

If you don't write it down, it didn't happen and trauma
If you don't write it down, it didn't happen. . . .
Look on Google for how many times women have "Buddy System" in writing and compare it to the hunters, military, police, sky diving, scuba diving and all that men do. Compare it statistically and as though you are an accountant.

Ideas for our daughters
The commercial may come out in a month or two in the State, but more probably in the county.
2. You don’t have to wear underwear... if you're in an accident they’ll just cut your clothes off anyway.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
5. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
7. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
8. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
9. You are a woman, you do not NEED a man!
10. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
11. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
12. Never walk through an alley.
13. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
14. Can’t is a cop-out.
15. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Then be your own hero.
16. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
17. Never lie to yourself.
18. Your body, your rules.
19. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
20. Practice your passions.
21. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
22. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
23. Stay as sweet as you are.
24. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
25. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
26. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
27. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
28. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
29. Question everything, except your own intuition.
30. You have enough. You are enough.
31. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
32. No matter where you are, you can always come home.
33. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
34. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
35. No one will ever love you more than I do.
36. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
37. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown and own it like a boss!

How did all of those children have parents on side of a screen/wall while children were being molested in the Olympics?
Have you gone to see something that is satire with terrible cruelty and violence (aka deadpool) recently? What are you going to do with that? Will you become a better person or a crass person? Will it instill a "that is too terrible for me" or "they can do it, why not me?"

How will we help women see the Buddy System in print
I would love people to write about the Buddy System for women. Who cares? Women? Men who care about women? Children who love their mothers, aunts, sisters?
Where do we need to write about the Buddy System for women? Girl Scouts, churches, schools and hospitals since these are the institutions where women work and participate! Social media, newspapers, magazines, journals, bill boards, plays, movies, soap operas, radio, television can use information that has been written about the Buddy System.
What kinds of things need to be writtten? Encouragement? Ways to use the Buddy System! How to use the Buddy System with safety awareness, and self defense. The need for safety awareness is lower when you have 2 or more people in many circumstances.

3:16 Day
Try it a few times, and then share with someone. My first book, Fertile Prayers: Daily Fertile Prayers once received a response from a lady, "Your book is like a daily meditation and not only for people trying for babies." I thought she was putting the book down as not specific enough or focused on babies enough, instead I later realized she noticed that PRAYERS are fertile or PRAYERS are sterile, and not just bodies of humans. So anyone could read Fertile Prayers and be better for it. She gave me a gift.

Stop
Men would riot if the Buddy System was taken away. No one cares if women use the Buddy System. Men don't care. Women don't care. Does the Easter Bunny care if women use the Buddy System?
In the Bible places like Luke 10:1 gives directions to use the Buddy System for all people. Some religions drill this into studies and people take that seriously.

#BuddySystem, #AutoharpsNchurches, #Poncho Power
hat they want guns. I was taught to secure your weapon. I didn't have mental illness, or parents with mental illness. Many people do have mental illness and parents with mental illness. I teach the Buddy System to women because it is not in print for women in the same volume for women as for men. Police, military, hunting, and 15 activities that are male dominated print articles about the buddy system daily, weekly, and monthly. Men would riot if you tried to take the Buddy System away from them. Women not so much. An article in 2009, and a couple in 2016 because of taxi driver rapes were published for women. There is no comparison that men have social and written cues to use the Buddy System far and above what women are told and read. I say write Buddy System in pink. Get the point across. It helps women more. The Tree Mother, Wangari Matthai taught planting trees and the buddy system in Africa. Both deter rapes. South Africa planted millions of trees in 2009, and other countries are exploring bamboo for fire and charcoal. Not much is written about the Buddy System yet on any continent. Prove me wrong, please. I will thank you.

Spades Cosmetic Show
They are high pressured sales, telling me that my husband would not care if I spent this much money, and my sister, who is saying no, really wants these products, and totally ignoring me several times when I said no. They never told me I was not allowed to return the products. They charged me for a few products and gave me 14.
I had someone on my side there and no one put a gun to my head telling me to sign. They had products on my face, my credit card, and pressure.
Sometimes it is not easy to walk away. I would not be complaining but for one problem. Before I got back to my feather free hotel room, my head was hurting. Could it have been the chemicals?
How would you avoid high pressure sales? The best way is to walk away. The best way is to not hand someone your credit card. I had no idea I would have so many products and such high priced products added to my card. It isn't about the money, is it? I am upset about the headache. I am upset because the products are not hypoallergenic.

This means simple things like no alcohol, drugs, and asking before you make any move on anyone making sure power is not the reason you are getting what you want. Cuddlist https://cuddlist.com/ helps people who want to be safe and receive affection with boundaries. If you think like a predator, these two workshop style businesses/nonprofits can make a difference. They both teach consent and are non sexual.

How many people respond to a whistle
Do you know about my EIN 27-0123298, Fear Thou Not ministry? I go to a different church every Sunday and tell one person about the autoharp and autoharp angels, I tell women about the Buddy System because it is not common sense and it is not common knowledge for women since it is not in our yearly much less daily literature like it is for police, military, and hunters who are mainly male who carry weapons. Poncho Power on Youtube for women with breast cancer and women who breast feed. Donations can be made to Rev. Charlotte Fairchild, P.O. Box 1803, Douglasville, GA 30133 any time you get a windfall and want to spread the love. http://www.daigleharp.com/autoharpangels.html for autoharps, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNKksCOPDjs, and http://fearthounot4.blogspot.com/2016/08/buddy-system-for-phone-sticker.html and I write books. http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/bookdetail.aspx?bookid=SKU-000391297 especially needed at Father's Day and Mother's Day and when blindsided no matter what age you may be, or for pregnant women who are anxious, and https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Silver-Comet-Charlotte-Fairchild/dp/144045325X

Can you imagine if 100% of the violence against women stopped? We can make a difference when we use the Buddy System. Georgia State Parks have the Buddy System as a tip for hiking. This makes sense and will help women's safety.
Know safety awareness and self defense too when hiking. There are many tips on the site and I hope you all read the tips. The Silver Comet Trail could add some of these tips and make the Silver Comet Trail safer.

How many reasons are there for women to use the Buddy System
Men don't do things alone. They hunt, fish, scuba dive, sky dive, police, fight battles, kayak, snow mobile and they do many things in pairs. Why do they value the company? What is with this "watch your back" talk?
