    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My soapy thing today, threw away a bunch of soap. Just goes to prove that your storage conditions really affect the quality and/or whether or not you develop dos, imo. Same batch recipe, just stored completely differently. One was on a IRON shelf, but covered in wax paper, the other in a more...

    Sweaty Soaps?

    Hi from Florida! I'm in Port St Lucie. If I leave soaps out then they tend to sweat. This winter I put up a bunch of soaps on a rack near the slider and they were fine. But then when it got more humid, they felt completely wet. So yeah, humidity plays a big factor. All of them now are kept in a...

    Still here...

    Hi all. I am still here. Just haven't made soap in a bit. I decided to stay at my job because they are my friends and I felt like I was abandoning ship when I should be there for them. One said "This place is going to burn to the ground without you". I guess that made me feel good lol. I gave a...

    Identity theft from...an old landlord?

    According to the property appraisers office, he resides there and is also listed as the owner, and that is where the cable was turned on. The funny/not so funny thing is that the property was also sold back and forth between himself and his mother like 5 times over the past few years. Not a real...

    Identity theft from...an old landlord?

    I thought about just paying it off and deal with anything else later. I can do that right now financially, but don't want to screw anything up like "well you paid it so it must be yours". But the chances of getting that paid by him is probably next to zero. Opinions?

    Identity theft from...an old landlord?

    Well here is the deal with freezing my credit...I am trying to build credit to eventually purchase a house and I would like to refinance my truck. All my cards thus far are sub-prime, except I finally got approved for a Discover card not too long ago. Every card is 500 or less and I need a prime...

    SMF June 2023 Challenge: Layers!

    Just found this from the Fossil Forum in reply to my post. I posted more pictures but nobody responded. It looks like Busycon carica. It is a species that ranges from Lower Pleistocene to recent, but today's population does not reach much further south than Cape Canaveral. I have never...

    SMF June 2023 Challenge: Layers!

    Yes, this is a lard bar @ 50%, CO OO and castor. Just a basic bar. I don't go too crazy when I am making a challenge soap. I didn't use too much TD this time, just a pfffft pfffft instead of a pffffffffffft pffft LOL. I posted pictures of the shells on a forum of a bunch of fossil enthusiasts...

    I regretfully looked at other challenge entries and almost didn't post one LOL. But I made it, it's not bad. Anywhoooo, here is my entry scented with Abalone and Sea from CC...my favorite scent especially for salt bars. In salt bars it sticks just enough to give it a nice sea spray scent...
