Maybe I need to upgrade from a pillow case or bath robe...

My terry cloth bath towel serves me just fine, just sayin.'

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.

Same! I was 12 years old when Mt. St. Helens erupted, and I don't live too far from it - a couple hours to the north. However - we never experienced the ash haze! Very little ash fall. Because of our location, the winds blew it the other direction. It was a sunny, clear day at my house!

That looks great! I think you will like coffee soap.

I’m glad it turned out ok. When I was mixing my lye water I accidentally added one of the oils to it I stead of to the oils. I didn’t do much stirring except to dissolve the lye the. I added that whole mixture to the rest of my oils. That’ll teach me to soap when I’m upset. I was trying to take my mind off burying a friend that morning but it didn’t really work
