@Dean I feel your pain - although I'm sure you were shaving your face and not your legs! I was feeling lazy last night and did not want to take the time to brush+shave soap, so I just grabbed a bar of soap in the shower. Normally I can do this with no problem, but this particular bar was made by someone else and they must use a really low superfat. There was no glide at all. I SF at 3% and have no problems using my soap for shaving... but this soap was not suitable at all. My legs still hate me today.
My apologies if this crossed the TMI line.

No one in this town has lye. I went to my usual supplier and they're out. Today, they contacted their warehouse and two other local outlets and none of them have any in stock, including the warehouse. I may have to break down and order some from Voyageur. It's the same price as the local supplier but I will also have to pay shipping.
Having the same issue but finally ordered from amazon and it wont be here till Tuesday.. not allowed to swear here so I'll leave it at that

I'm SO ready to quit my job. I like what I do, the pay is decent and I like about 95% of the people here. What has me wanting to quit is the little petty things the afternoon shift does and my spineless boss! I'm a 1-person dept so when I leave for the day nobody should be at my station. I've had to purchase a lock box to keep people from stealing my pens, highlighters, post it notes, etc. I've had to hunt for my chair, fan, floor mats and cart on many occasions. I was absent Wednesday and Thursday I discovered that my silver sharpies we're missing. It seems that someone had hacked my lock box code so I had to change it. I found my sharpies in random places near my workstation. I have a wastebasket that I mainly throw paper in and it gets changed 1-2 times a month. I have signs taped to it asking that no food or drinks are thrown in there because it causes gnats but today I had to add an addendum to include empty carry out food containers. I also rearranged my work area so that my wastebasket isn't as accessable and I placed a much larger can that gets changed weekly, nearby. My boss agrees that I shouldn't have to work in a gnat filled area (it takes 24 hours after I spray for them to leave) but when I asked for help, I got excuses. At least this time he didn't tell me to "quit picking on the afternoon shift!" I usually complain about incomplete/missing paperwork, missing parts, etc from that shift.

Air show just started it will last Friday and Saturday, I am like 4 km from the airport and it is driving me crazy, first day that i could open windows and turn off A/C, eh, I do not see any birds in my garden, today even at the bird bath, So much vibration in the air, I hate it as much as fireworks that scares poor animals

@Dahila OMG I live near an Air Force Base that is not used as such. Just small 4 seater planes and some business jets, an occasional Fedex plane.
We used to have the Jet shows here every other year... I 1st lived int he flight path to the runway. Man did that suck.. I was about 1/2 mile as the bird flies to the runway
They no longer have them and I live to the side of the runway now.
So I SO FEEL FOR YOU !!!
My gripe... Frostbite neighbor still allows his dog to charge the fence and chase after the hens. I yelled out window at the GF and asked her if she could NOT let the dog do that. Her answer is, how am I to do that he is just doing what dogs do. i said fine if you can't do that then I will call the Dog Officer. She says' Fine i will call the Chicken officer"
hahahha What a dope. I did leave a message for the animal control. idjut is NEVER in the office to answer the phone. I have her now as the dog was in the street along my fence again, twice as I yelled for the dog to get away

Its official, there is no lye within a 40 mile radius.
My dogs were like that at my old house. they would charge te fence when the neighbors dog came out but you can bet my A** was up and calling them back in 2 seconds. although it sure seems she would wait until my dogs were out to let hers out. no way they were on the exact schedule all day every day. Dont have that problem now.

I broke down and ordered some this morning.
I ordered some last night but it wont be here until Tuesday. I only have enough left for a small batch and I just got in new fragrance oils and I bought some pvc pipe tonight to cut molds. Cant imagine going all weekend without soaping.
I know, right? I stopped in at the bulk store after work and picked up more baking soda and citric acid. Instead of soap, I'll be making bath bombs tomorrow. So far, I've made two batches and I already have an order for up to 36 bombs for next month.
