How do people survive, if there is a complete breakdown of our society?

Let say you can’t go to a supermarket. A restaurant. No running water. No electricity. Lets say, due to either terrorism, war, or an asteroid impact or some other natural disaster.

Are there any jellies (grape, strawberry) that do not use high fructose corn syrup?

I don’t like fruit spreads, I don’t like preserves, I like jelly but I want to avoid the high fructose corn syrup and all the jelly I am finding in the supermarket (national chain, well-stocked) has high fructose corn syrup in it. There are no health food stores where I live like Trader Joe’s where I could think they might have this stuff. And other ideas on brands?
Thanks for the suggestion of low sugar options, perhaps I should have added I am trying to also avoid sweetners like Splenda etc.

What is a good, inexpensive wine to go with the clam linguine that I’m cooking?

I like to cook, and my husband likes having wine with the meals I make. Which wines get paired up best with which foods? Are you supposed to drink red wines with certain dishes? Please give some examples of some different wines that we can try that are readily found in the supermarket.

Lost my 5 month old kitten, how to find her?

My 5 month old kitten got out of the house sometime Tuesday evening. I took off Weds to look for her. I searched an area about 1 square mile. Placed flyers in mailboxes and on cars. Placed a flier in the local supermarket that has her picture, also in the local gas station. I live in Ohio and right now the temperature has a high of 80 degrees and we had a brief period of rain last night. The topography is a creek valley so there are some hills and some light woods.

I searched the neighborhoold top to bottom and did my best in the woods, but there is a thick brush. I placed some of her items out on the patio for her to recognize. I’m worried that since she is only 5 months she doesn’t have a strong sense of direction or survival skills. She is still clawed however. I’ve checked with the SPCA and she isn’t there, I also put an ad on craigslist. I’m doing everything, but no luck.

Do you think she can survive? Do you think she has the right skills to find her way home? What could I do to do a better job at finding her.

She always tries to get out, and when she does she stays close by.
