I believe vaccinated people still account for a very small number of cases. Even with the delta variant, and an even smaller number of hospitalizations. People have pointed to this small city in Maine? I think to show that vaccination doesn't help transmission. But I think that data has been...

I want to do this too! Do you have a 3d printer? I've had a million ideas but no execution. Also, no 3d printer so I assume I'd have to work with a company that does 3d printing. My goodness. All these beautiful soap pics and creative ventures are getting me in the mood....to soap that...

You guys! So sweet! Such kindness. Thank you!

Aww, thank you. I appreciate it!

Aww, that's so sweet. Thank you!!

My mom got me a second hand lazy Susan and I had a first attempt (and fail!) at a spin swirl. It's mint and raw sugar by crafters choice. I had read that kaolin clay mixed into the fragrance oil overnight can help the scent to stick. Has that worked for anyone? I almost feel like it may...

Oh. I'd never heard of a sugar bar. I wonder if there are threads on here. I'd like to try that!

@amd just wanted to say that was an excellent response. I did not know that HP needed to cure for the same amount of time. I haven't tried the method very often. @HelloHasu - wasn't sure if it was mentioned, but one of the things that intrigued me about HP was the ability to control what...

I second this emotion. The Dollar Tree in my area actually has an arts and crafts second where you can pick up craft sticks/bamboo sticks/little squirt bottles. But I cannot go into a dollar tress and not leave with like 2 or 3 plastic measuring cups and a few mini silicone spatulas. Whisks...

Thank you. It's hard because sometimes i just want to shake her, because I'm scared for her too! But I feel bad for her because, as I said before, I know the fear I felt and how much stress it created. No one wants to die suffocating to death. But at this point I keep in touch and we...

Honestly, I guess I just got used to the mask and so like 89% of the time, I just wear it inside public places. The biggest place I don't wear it is at the gym, but the gym is so open and airy and never packed, so I think the social distance remains. But, in silver lining news, I've saved...

It is hard. My aunt is in her late 70s and has multiple comorbities. She lives in abject fear of the coronavirus. She takes multiple precautions, masks, she doesn't go out very often, she NEVER let's anyone in her house and she stays wiping down her groceries with lysol wipes. She is...

@Marsi- I joke that I pledged house Pfizer and it was such a relief given my underlying condition. Pfizer has to be kept extremely cold. I went to a federal vaccination site and the nurses had to keep only a small number of prefilled shots in an insulated box on their table because it had to...

I think you both have good points. I know where I land, but I've trusted medical science since I was diagnosed with t1 diabetes as a child. So it's very natural for me to trust what the medical community recommends. I dont have that spirit that makes me super critical. And I think we ALL...

My brother's girlfriend is smart as a whip (not particularly personable, but incredibly smart). Graduates magna cum laude from a top law school. Last we spoke, she was refusing the vaccine on based on "research" which tends to have been debunked. One of the biggest problem we have is that...

This, this right here? These are the conversations we, as a society, need to be having. And the genesis of it was the lawsuit that @AliOop brought up. I dont have the time or patience to have these conversations but I'm glad to see the discussions happening. I know what side I am on...

I understand how you feel completely. I don't get into arguments with anyone and I'm grateful to live in an area where people always took covid 19 seriously. I do appreciate @AliOop highlighting this case and while frustrating I think its good that it's filed so that there is a chance for...

Hi. I only used the metasulfate. I think my oldest bar is a few months old and it hasn't discolored. So, it worked out pretty well for me. There is another recent batch I used it on and it came out perfect. I can't remember exactly which batch it was or else I'd post pics.

Hi everyone, This post is nothing more than information sharing and if someone else has said it before please forgive me. I have avoided using lard in my soap because I can always smell it. It bums me out because so many soapers rave about lard. I had been wanting to make a face soap and...

Ha ha, guilty as charged! Just treated myself to a slab cutter!
