My son and DIL just moved to Oregon 3 weeks ago! What a rude awakening. They loved it for the first 2 weeks - LOL. They are in Eugene, so I hope that the Holiday Farm fire will be contained before it gets to them. Since they really don't know anything about Oregon, it is a bit...

Thanks for the recommendation, Todd.

Well, that's interesting. I never heard of beer powder!

Thanks, Dawni, for sharing your method and recipe! I haven't been intrigued about trying a new soap for a while, but I will definitely be trying this one.

I would love to have a stick of plumeria! I would be happy to pay for postage and your trouble. I live in the Midsouth, so I imagine I would have to bring it into the house in winter, but I love the scent.

I admit that I have sensitive skin that reacts to a lot of things, and that's the reason that I started making soap. I also have sensitivities to lots of fragrance oils. When I first started making soap, I enjoyed concocting complex recipes and fragrances, but soon figured out what I needed...

Well, I am one of those people who cannot use CO in anything. It drives me WILD with itching and dry skin, even in very small percentages. I only make soap for personal use, so the small added expense of using babassu is worth it for me.

Carolyn, I will say what everyone else has said, but it cannot be said too much. Take good care of yourself and just let it go. I'm glad you will still be around here!

I think Candy Corn is a pretty good name!

That food chain problem happened here in the states at the beginning of the first wave. It was alarming. We had enough to eat, but it made everyone feel very insecure. Our food chain was sending a great percentage of food to restaurants, and it took them a while to figure out how to change...

I don't make soleseife bars, so I can't comment on that. This is NOT the softest bar of soap I have ever made. It is just softer than a bar that has a lot of coconut or other hard oils in it. It lasts a good period of time if kept dry, as Dawni pointed out.

Mine is great, too, Dawni. I love this soap. It is a bit softer, but the lather is fabulous, and it is the mildest soap I have ever made. I have actually used it at the kitchen sink when I started washing my hands a kazillion times a day, and it really helped to keep my hands from being dry.

Oh, catscankim! I thought about you as well when I saw this on the news. I totally understand why you would rather be at the hospital. That was always my preference as well. But I never had to put up with hurricanes, just snowstorms. I am thinking about you and hoping that it is just a...

Glad the mask extender worked for you. Hooray! Small victories. And you are smart to treat everyone as positive until proven negative. I can't imagine why anyone in the ED wouldn't. Keep using your brain, Catscankim, even when those around you get careless.

I re-read my message, and I guess it sounded like I was whining. I didn't mean it that way. I was just trying to convey that everyone is struggling and that all struggles are different, but nonetheless, struggles. My husband always says there are no minor illnesses if they are your own, and I...

I feel everybody's pain these days. Life as we know it has gone down the tubes. Some of us are better off than others, but nobody's life is the same, is it? I try to practice gratitude, but it's difficult at times. I have enough to eat. I have a relatively safe place to live. I am a...

I would suggest that you think about getting one of those adapters that let's you fasten your mask on the back of your head. If I had to wear a mask all day, my ears would be so sore that I could not wear my glasses. The skin behind the ears is so tender! You could probably make them yourself...

I keep up with the cases and deaths by using the John Hopkins dashboard. It has been lauded to be very accurate. You can search by country, state in the US, etc. Here is the link. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html I wonder if HHS will even let us know what the numbers are. This seems to...

You have been missed! Your children are both beautiful, but then again, good genes, right? Welcome back!

DEFINITELY! Sorry, not yelling at you, using caps for emphasis. If she is not following protocol for you, she is likely not following protocol for others. That endangers staff, patients, and visitors all over the hospital. The other option is to ask your supervisor to call IFC if you would...
