I just have a way of talking about it that ends up offending someone so I try to tolerate it. Yes, I seem to have that "gift" in excessive amounts. I never realized how much I depend on voice inflection and body language until I got here.
I keep the correcting of the grammar to my family...
I used a PVC pipe with removable ends for my first batch of soap (traditional castile) and it took forever for me to get the soap out of the mold. I think my problems were: I poured at a light trace and I made a huge batch. I wanted to do a big batch first since I had read you don't have to...
WBF I would have done the same thing. I don't allow giggling or tomfoolery of any sort during service. I remember as a kid going to church with my grandmother and two of my cousins. They were playing rummy in the pew while the preacher was preaching. I distinctly remember being...
I guiltily admit to doing this when I was a young teen. My Mom had something to say about it. I believe her exact words were (or at least as well as I can remember them) "Nikki, you sound like an idiot. Try and let your brain connect with your mouth." Yeah, that put a stop to it.
Gettinaclue it must drive you nuts to read whatever i write - Nah, not really. I kinda just go with your flow so to speak.
my hubby was an english major and i finally wore him down to the point where he just gave up trying to correct me - I correct my family ALL. THE. TIME. DH was brought up...
Yes, that one gets me too. Also, "HOW COME" instead of "WHY".
and
1 centS instead of 1 cent
or 45 cent instead of 45 centS. :he
Also when you hear someone ask for the time like this: Hey man, what time it is.
That just irritates me.
Okay, I'll be the first to admit my grammar isn't perfect and I imbibe freely of some slang and sometimes I have a lazy tongue (as is evident in my name). I also admit that I can't spell worth a darn. But it really bothers me when people say:
Continue on ... as opposed to continue off...
Anything that touches lye and lye water I keep strictly for soapmaking (aside from the stick blender - I have a cheap-o one I use just for mixing the soap). But I would tend to agree with FF, if you want to use the container that you mixed the soap in for something else, I don't see why you...

I don't know if anyone has caught her or not, but thought I'd post the link if you wanted to learn how.

I'm sorry about the crabby start to your day. I'm sorry your DH didn't wish you Happy Anni. I'm sorry I'm not there to help you with your chores and stuff you with goodies containing chocolate :lol
Hope the rest of the day goes better for you.
Nikki
