 You are sensitive and expressive. You feel very deeply, and the smallest things in this world can move you. You are a wordsmith, and you know how to get your thoughts out on paper. You are very eloquent and even witty. |
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a young man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop! Don’t do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
“Well, there’s so much to live for!”
“Like what?”
“Well… are you religious?”
He said yes.
I said, “Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?”
“Christian.”
“Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant ?
“Protestant.”
“Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”
“Baptist” “Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?”
“Baptist Church of God!”
“Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?”
“Reformed Baptist Church of God!”
“Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?”
He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!”
I said, “Die, heretic scum”, and pushed him off.

Another oldie but goodie. It makes me laugh as it shows off how we all too often get hung up on the little details. Not that I’m guilty of that myself or anything.
Have an awesome weekend!
I finally got through rendering all that tallow, on Saturday I think. Boy what a task that was! I got a lot of tallow – haven’t measured it yet, but somehow I don’t think it was as much as I could have gotten. I’m still a novice at this and it’s a lot of trial and error. At least this time it wasn’t nearly as smelly as the last time, whew! That wet method sure did make a huge difference in that regard.
Now that the temps have nose-dived into the sub-zero range, I’m not too worried about the bones still in our little storage locker, so I’m making some soap. As soon as the weather turns warmer, I’ll get back to making that bone broth. Also not the most fragrant proposition.
This is from a batch of coconut oil soap I just made for my husband. He likes that recipe the best – just straight coconut oil. I used a synthetic fragrance oil to scent these, as he’s not a huge fan of the essential oil scents that I have on hand. So these smell like regular old Ivory bars, but as long as he likes it, I’m happy.
I made a new recipe for shampoo bars, and those are setting up right now and will be unmolded tomorrow or the next day, and I also want to make another batch of tallow bars. I can’t believe how much I love the tallow bars. They make my skin feel so nice!
I’m debating about using coloring agents in my soap. I’d like something a little jazzier than plain old ordinary beige, but at the same time, pigments aren’t cheap and they don’t really add anything, you know? So, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll try one of the recipes I have for using things like crushed spices or something – paprika is supposed to make a pretty bar. We’ll see.
In other news, I was going through the kids’ closet today. How in the world did my son end up with 6 blue and 5 red shirts?! Time for some purging!

Can’t say I’ve risen to the top however, lol.
 For as long as you can remember, you’ve always been reliable and responsible. Because of who you are, you’ve found it pretty easy to rise to the top in life. |
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.
