You start to talk about soap making and you get so excited about it all that people start to move back, slowly, away from you, with an expression of mild concern on their faces (happened to me today)...
LOL - or they stand in place, nodding with their eyes glazed over. Happens all the time. I've learned that when people say 'tell me about making soap' they really just want a very short answer. As in, yes - I do actually use lye.
