Yes to magnesium. I have been using 500 mg twice a day since January and have seen a huge improvement. The cheap stuff works for me!

You have received some great suggestions here. I agree, stomach symptoms on their own are not considered the flu - which moolie outlined so well. My suggestion along with the BRAT diet is to try some pedialyte to replace some of the electrolytes you have lost. It tends to be better than gatorade...

The topic of overpopulation always brings the song "Every Sperm is Sacred" from Monty Python's Meaning of Life to mind. Enjoy.

Dear FarmFresh, I love the soap you sent me! Thank you so very much.:ya This swap was a great idea. Thanks Damummis. I can manage to get something small like this together and really enjoy it. One or two bars of soap = no pressure!

I saw a small steam distiller at our dump station a few years ago. I should have nabbed it. Drat.

:ya I am so glad you like your soap!

I mailed mine this aft. I used a manilla bubble envelope and wrapped the soap in bubble wrap, too. Hopefully no mangled soap. :/

Dish pans and the drawer dividers from the dollar store.

It means per pound of oil. If you go to the Majestic Mountain Sage website, there is a calculator for fragrances - essential oils and fragrance oils. It lets you choose amounts to use for lotions, soaps, etc. There are also comments for some of the oils, like if they turn your soap brown or...

I use saran wrap to line my slab/loaf molds which are dishpans or drawer organizers from the dollar store. I would be interested in a 4 pound mold from your dad, Katie.

I'd buy one! :lol:

I saw felted soap somewhere...it was really pretty. Do you make that? That felting is tough work. I made a felted purse and really learned to keep my hand out of the way. It took a long time, but turned out really pretty.

Yeah, I love soap that smells good enough to eat! That almond sounds great. Mmmm, marzipan. :) I used to buy a great licorice smelling soap that had poppy seeds in it. I like a little bit of scrubby, but not so much stuff that I find pieces of oatmeal or other weird things where they shouldn't...

Weeeelll, I just went and looked at the list. Looks like you will be getting some of that! :lol:

Hi there! Anyone doing any fall type soaps? I get in the mood for the spice scents as the weather turns cooler. I have a chai latte EO blend that smells sooo good and I mix in some dry tea for a little interest in my good old CP recipe. I think I will put that one into the swap. Can't wait to...

I ran it through the lye calc on MMS using 16 oz soybean oil (crisco) and got a recoommendation of 4 to 6 fluid oz water and 2.06 oz of lye for a 5% superfat ( I use 5% for everything except laundry bars) Re: adding fragrance and EO. I add at trace. Some FOs can really accelerate trace and you...

Have you tried any arnica yet? There are some arnica gels out there as well as homeopathic remedies. Also, lemongrass has worked well for me for strains, sprains, and ligament related injuries. You need fresh lemongrass, pull a big piece off of the plant, bang on it with a spoon a bit to open...
