Tortoise, your 'do is so cute! Amazing you did that yourself! My ex-sister-inlaw used to cut her own hair, a shoulder length layer cut, and it always looked great and had lots of body. Half the time I can't find a hairdresser that can do a decent job on mine (and there's no way I'm paying a...

Yea! I'll start another batch right away! :weee

Mine started out brownish like yours and eventually turned very clear (my first batch). Then I stirred it and it sunk to the bottom and kinda floats around like a little ghost in there. The vinegar tastes awesome! I've heard it's ok to just leave the mother in there with your vinegar. I take...

I've been sifting through some of the old threads on here on soapmaking, trying to get some ideas. I am gearing up to try my hand at it and looked at some supplies today. I did buy a few essential oils. My dad had brought me two very fat does this year and I saved up all the fat as we...

It sure does make it hard on one's budget though. You just end up coming back for more when you run out sooner than you expected. So you spend it anyway, waste more gas on another trip into town, and more lost time and aggravation shopping. I think it's terrible that they resized everything...

Hmm...that is a good theory. I will have to buy another pack and find out!

I'm sure everyone by now has noticed that most companies are downsizing their products so that they can keep selling them at about the same price. They knock off a couple ounces from the box, make things smaller, put less in the package... Get this, I've always bought Scott 1000 because I have...

How pretty! We didn't get any of that freezing rain up here today. The weatherman had us worked up for nothin'. :P

Only 3 ingredients, mix, melt and pour -- I am definitely going to try this one! I've been getting an order together to try my hand at soap making, so I'll just get some extra coconut oil.

I just have a multi-pocketed organizer thingy that is pretty small, fits in my purse. I sort them by date and rotate them every once in a while (closest dates in the front). I don't sort them by type because I really don't have all that many to flip through since I only keep the good ones. :P...

I'm going to have to check into that. I get really bad cracks in my fingertips this time of year and they are so painful. Although I have my hands in bleach or dishwater a lot (I know, I know...I need to buy a pair of vinyl gloves!). It seems really excessive and I don't know anyone else who...

I do best by planning, monitoring my shelves, watching the fliers for sales and buying in bulk. One of the first things we invested in was a big freezer. (Our TV is an old one, purchased in the early 90's...some people might have replaced that first! LOL) I've got a year's supply of meat in...

I'd love to get a recommendation for that too! My hands are so sore and cracked right now that I can hardly stand to bend them. I have a bunch of beeswax I saved up this year and I'm just trying to figure out what to make with it. OTC, I have found Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream...

Simply put: Works would be trusting in what you can do for God. Faith would be trusting only in what He can do for you! :) In the OT, their works demonstrated their faith that God would send a Redeemer. (Check out the "OT Hall of Faith", in Hebrews 11.) In the NT, Jesus did all the work...

I've been lurking, but I hope to join in after things settle down a bit in the New Year. Been sooo busy (up to my eyeballs in deer meat) and I gotta admit I've been neglecting my Bible reading. I have been studying along with Dr. J. Vernon McGee (Thru the Bible Radio) for a little over a year...

I've been thinking on that too. I've been tracking my feed costs v/s egg production for about a year now. 31 hens are eating me out of house and home. I think I can find a better price on feed if I buy in bulk and maybe I won't have to raise my price any. Getting it from TSC in 50# bags was...

Yeah, that could be tricky because lentils don't need to be soaked 8 hours like beans do, and they'll go to mush quickly. You're going to need to look for a good recipe online specifically for canning so you'll know what order to put it together. I'd say for sure though you're definitely going...

I love that quote!

There's one or two going on TEG. Anytime you put the word "government" in your thread title, it will draw attention. ;)

I have mine sorted into ziploc baggies and I keep them in the fridge, except for peas and beans, which I store in the freezer. Keeping them cold keeps them viable longer.
