I wanted to make soap tonight but

[petrolejka]

someone did something with the bottom part of my stick blender. Can't find it anywhere. I had stuff measured out, milk frozen all ready to go. I am actually crying ( i am very hormonal). I am sure my bf threw it out. As he always does with my stuff. Not too long ago he threw away a very expensive food processor that he thought I never used. As if he ever watched me cook.
I am just so mad right now.
All I wanted to do was make some great soap

I'd get a new boyfriend or none at all. Seriously.

D: I'm sorry sweetie. My ex was that way, too.

Try a steel whisk? I know trace will take a long time, but it's better than nothing =/

Do you have a blender you can have be non-food? Of course you'd want to tell the boyfriend to leave that alone, too. You can make soap in one of those but it's supposed to be a very fast trace. I prefer a slower trace when I'm troubled to lose myself in the process for as long as possible.

W have 3 children Teri, new bf doesnt seem like a possibility but definitely tempting at times lol

I will just have to wait until I can buy a new stick blender. I don't see myself using a whisk - I crochet many hours a day and my hands would not survive the constant whisking. And I don't even have a blender

But if I know my bf, and I think I do, he will run out today and buy me a new one. He means no harm on his throwing stuff out rampage, it's just something he does and I am kinda used to it now but it got me so upset last night.
You see, I ordered new scents I wanted to try and I also came up with a new recipe using lard and coconut oil, both of them I havent used yet and I have been waiting all week for this. And friday is pretty much the only night I can soap uninterupted. I can do it other nights too but it would be just too stressful. Friday night soap would be FUN.

Sorry for ranting everyone.

My husband used to have problems like that. He threw away several of my more expensive tupperware bowls, some of my big pyrex mixing bowls, one of my Rachel Ray casserole dishes, and the list goes on & on. His mother never kept leftovers in their fridge, so he always thinks that anything in a container in our fridge is bad & moldy, which grosses him out to the extent that he can't even look at it. So instead of opening the cover to see if the leftovers are okay, he throws the entire thing away. He finally stopped when I told him that if he threw anything in my fridge away again, I was picking whatever tool I wanted from his nice, expensive tool chest and tossing it in the trash. Men!

The Mister and I have clutter issues, so we're BOTH good at tossing stuff. Having said that, because we have clutter issues, we don't have a lot of stuff, so trashing something by malice or by accident doesn't really happen at my house. How super upsetting for you!!

The minute I get my soaps in their molds or on plastic wrap I start cleaning up all my bowls and utencils. I do not have anything left out on a counter or anywhere that it would get thrown out. I run my dishwasher right away and empty it pronto. I pack all my stuff up and take it up to the spare room and put it in my canvas tote bags on a shelf. A place for everything, everything in it's place. I would totally freak out if any of my soaping stuff went missing.

that's the thing though, I do the same exact thing! I have this big basket where I put all the pots, utensils and such and then take it in the "back room" that is essentially just storage as there is no heat or air in there. I made soap 2 weeks ago and now I can't find it. He swears he didn't touch it. But I don't know what else would've happened to it. I am thinking that maybe I left the bottom part on the drying rack in the kitchen and the bf put it in the drawer with other kitchen stuff and my middle child then too it out and stashed it somewhere and at that point bf found it again and threw it out.
That's my theory at least.
I don't know. It's just weird.

How about a new rule? Before anything gets tossed, it sits in a specific place for a specific length of time? If you don't pull it off the shelf (or whatever), in two days (or whatever) he can toss it? (It's nice that you are so forgiving, by the way. I would probably take the "dump him" route.) A g/f of mine once asked to borrow one of my two or three favorite books, which happened to be out of print. I took longer than I should have to explain those two facts to her. It took her two days to lose it. Left it in a restaurant. I found a copy somewhere on line for about $200. (I did eventually find one for 1/10 that price.) When I told her I was upset, she said that that's what I got for clinging to possessions. When I asked her if she was going to replace it, she said she hadn't thought about it, but it wasn't high on her list of priorities. I knew the relationship was over then. Why it ever lasted more than one date has always been a source of mystery to me.

Sorry, I didn't know kids were involved. Seems aggressive to me to have someone throw out your tools w/out asking first.

Like.

Your bf can live in my garage for a while. Maybe some of the crap my lovely, far, far eastern, mysterious, wife and mother of my children, sometimes soaping assistant, has accumulated will disappear.

Here's a thought. Everyone with teenagers post a picture of their rooms but don't give them a chance to straighten it up first. :twisted:

My husband use to go on cleaning fenzies, But I broke him of that. He throw away something very important to me once and had to go dumpster diving , he's been very very carful with my stuff ever since!!!
