    Going to Try CP This Winter

    I looked at them, but if my dad saw me using it, well the stress from him pointing and laughing and being himself would make the CP not fun.

    Going to Try CP This Winter

    Yea.. I watched her vid on saftey and it stated there are fumes and to stand away. i have a trashed upper rep system, so not matter how far back i stood while mixing the lye water i risk and eventual bronchitis attack that would last 3 to 5 months of misery and pain.

    Don't soap when tired and in a rush

    Oh wow I am sorry that happened. But everyone is right. it could have been worse, but getting it on the boobs really hurts. this is unrealted, but I have a chronic staph infection I've had since I was 16 that leaves nasty boils on my boobs and around my bra band.
