@ScentimentallyYours I was living in NJ at the time of the Mt St Helens eruption and in grade school. I remember the ash haze reaching us and our teachers rolled the TVs into class so we could watch the news and then we went outside to see it 
it kinda freaked me out as a kid because I remember how the temperature changed and we talked about it in science class also and compared it to the global catastrophies that caused the ice ages. Talk about a life lesson!

At the time I worked at the local TV station, and Missoula also experienced weather changes. I called up the Today Show weatherman at the time, Willard Scott, and asked if it was possible that weather changes were due to the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. He said he checked with the meteorologists and they did not think it could’ve had that large an impact on our weather. But who knows? I’m not sure they had enough scientific background at the time to make the determination. Or perhaps I was more enchanted by the drama of it all?@ScentimentallyYours I was living in NJ at the time of the Mt St Helens eruption and in grade school.

Would someone be willing to open a thread in the general chat as a place to put down these Mt. St. Helen's stories? I am fascinated by eye- witness accounts, and would love to hear ALL the stories! It could be a history and science lesson for the whole family! I was less than a year old when it happened, so I don't remember anything about it.
You read my mind @ackosel!!!
I would love to say I love
everybody's soaps very nice! I would also like to say I asked my son to go work on his motor bike to get his hands dirty so he could try the mechanic soap I just made, so he did. He came in after his hands got really dirty and tried it. It works wonders his hands are so clean now I can't believe it works, my son loves it and my Dad wants to bring a couple of bars to the hospital for their mechanic room where he works once they are done curing. So this was a excited soap challenge for me.

Thank You, Thank You! Sometimes my brain just goes blank!
Well, I need to withdraw. It has been a really sucky February. I had to put one of my dogs down, my goat kidded, and the babies didn’t survive. On top of that, we were out of power for a week last week. I finally get everything sorted out and back in my soap shed today. I’m making the soap today, but it won’t be able to be cut until after the deadline. I’m so sorry!!!!
EDITED. Deleted my post and moved it to the Entry Thread. Woops. Deadlines and um, pressure, stress me out.

Sounds like you have had an awful month. Hopefully next month will be much better!
The coming month will be much better! I know what it is like losing a furry friend, plus babies....that's more than unfair. Take care
It is tough enough to lose a fur baby, but to lose newborns is just not fair! Being without power for a week would be disastrous! All I can think of is spoiled goat milk and beef in my freezers. Let's hope going forward your year is full of sunshine!
I am sorry for your February struggles! I have a goat due next week - praying things go well in that department. Please do post your soap here so we can see it after the fact. March will be better!
