    The change of .... nose?!

    I personally call cancer the "c" word. My husband passed from it 6 weeks ago. It was unnecessary for you to make corrections, when most people knew what I was talking about when I made that post.

    Is this rude?

    It all depends on the manner in which "advise" is offered. If it is condescending, it is rude. If it is truly kind and helpful, the person showing off her/his wares should say thank you, and move on with the same kindness. Facesh*t is full of nasty people looking for someone to pick on to make...

    Latest Update on Cheryl

    Ahh, easy in theory, however, all a second third or fourth opinion or surgeon will do is talk to my current one, compare notes, and tell me exactly what my current one is saying. I am a nurse, as well and nightmares abound. They all stick together and covered each other's tushies, just my...

    Latest Update on Cheryl

    I am having an issue (nothing like Cheryl), in my eyes "doctor error" I have a fake shoulder that has never stopped hurting, year after year I have gone to my surgeon telling him this. He does an xray, pats me on the head and tells me there is nothing wrong. This last time, I wouldn't leave his...

    Latest Update on Cheryl

    Hello. I have kept my trap shut through all of Ceryl's woes, not that she wasn't in my prayers/positive thoughts, however, just a question (nurse here) have you and Cheryl looked int support groups based on her symptoms? Many times those groups can give suggestions on ways and where to turn next.

    Are some soaps mislabeled "all natural" when they contain fragrance oils?

    I agree with the lye aspect, however there is also ash lye...natural..ish, lol. I do not label any of my products as all natural. Wholesome would be a good word...? One cannot have soap without lye...melt and pour included.

    Hot Process-When is it Cooked/Finished?

    Nothing in soapmaking is written in stone. There are a lot of variables. Water discount and superfat are just 2 examples, another would be altitude. I keep my superfat at 5% and have never had a bar go rancid.

    Tara, no matter what I say, someone will contradict me, so I would just as soon keep my knowledge to myself. I am TRULY Sorry!

    Hot Process-When is it Cooked/Finished?

    I have been cooking soap for years, (instant gratification). I find that when my batch is "shiny" and no longer soupy it is done. Another way to know is when it begins to stick to the sides of the crock. Also, I wait until the very end to add my fragrance. I find that it maintains its...

    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    Give it to them, they probably loved it! My "tag line" at shows used to be "got dirt? Buy soap"...folks would laugh, then buy soap. EVERYONE loves a hand made bar of soap.

    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    I use 3%, usually a "safe" all around percentage, lol Just to put it out there, I would NEVER purchase this soap for my loved ones unless they request it. This is something that the "user" needs to decide for themselves, as giving it as a gift WOULD be rude. I loved my elders, and NEVER would...
