    By Hazel's Request

    Oh my goodness, he's precious. Usually with the cross breeds one breed is more dominant than the other but his is equally perfect, you are so blessed, he looks like "Mr Personality" on legs :lol:

    Sniffing Bath Salts to get high? It was on the Today Show

    I'm amazed (although I shouldn't be) at just how low some people will go to make a quick buck. That is staggering, they're messing with lives and peoples safety. Their time will come and they'll pay for their greed and self seeking. I better stop now before I say too much :x :wink:

    Cyclone Yasi

    Thankfully, no lives lost so far that i'm aware of. I feel for those who are affected by it though. It was blowing here strong last Saturday, Brisbane Northside, I was at martial arts training on my stomach and a big gust of wind came through the double doors next to me and blew me over, I...

    Soap Problem

    Newbie, yes, we're in Queesland, we got off lightly compared to many, 3 goat deaths, flooding etc and the soap is not coping at all so i've been having a looooong break :roll: Jan, as much as I HATE doing it, you could zap test it, rather than stick the tip of your tongue on the powder...

    Storage temp/humidity for curing

    Pepper, i'm in Brisbane QLD, and our soap sweating can be such a killer. I've stopped making m&p altogether, and my cp AND hp give me serious sweating issues, we set up damp rid containers in the cure room just to try to minimise it. We can't even package each bar as it even sweats inside the...

    NEEM OIL curiousity

    we sell dog and horse soap, a big seller, the local dog refuge loves it for their dogs, we have a purchaser that comes and buys in bulk, as soon as he stops using the soap on the dogs and horses the itch and hair loss returns. I do recall reading up on Neem as a customer asked if I could make...

    Sigh. I really need to organize my soap room.

    what!!!....you mean i'm not the only one with a messy soap room??? :D , actually my daughter surprised me by cleaning the whole lot up for me a few days back. The worst part I don't like is cleaning the dishes afterwards, so I pay her to do it lol, :lol:

    Soap Problem

    Oh soapbuddy, our humidity here is almost killing our soaps, usually the damp rid controls it but I would need buckets of the stuff at the moment. The "H" word makes me shudder everytime I hear it :x Yep, sounds like soda ash, won't harm the soap or the human, just a cosmetic issue for...

    Colour suggestion

    I would like to make a soap with black and red colouring (black backround with red chinese dragon), what would be the best thing to use to get a solid red dragon?, I would prefer to do it in cp, any suggestions?

    What happens is you pour too hot?

    Oh my goodness, I had a bad experience of this just recently. I was making a batch of cp shaving soap and put the pot on the larger element instead of the smaller (I hadn't soaped in quite a while and didn't think :roll: ) anyways right before my eyes the stuff looked...well....evil lol, it...

    Simple Soap

    Pure comes to mind when I look at that soap, pure and intimate, so very very pretty, partial gel can be frustrating but I think it doesn't take away from this soap. :D

    Devastating Queensland Floods

    Things are not so good here, we woke up to flash flooding this morning but thankfully we're on higher ground. The neighbours have been worse off as their property sits lower that ours, we couldn't even get to them to offer our property for the livestock whom were huddled on a little hill...
