I like an inside water fountain or a water wall. Saw it on

Do you have really hard water? Maybe leaving water spots from lime, calcium, etc.? Or are the spots

For Soap watchers
What soap opera do you watch regularly and how long have you been watching it?
Mine is AMC and I've been watching it from the beginning in 1970.
For the B&B soap watchers...
Does Brooke make you wanna pull her hair out??? She is disgustingly desperate...I cannot stand it! I'm rooting for Taylor and Nick, bump Brooke and Ridge...hope he goes to jail and she dries up!
Use Dove bar soap to get the Vaseline out.
My daughter got into a jar of Vaseline when she was two years old. My pediatrician suggested Dove bar soap. It worked like magic! Hope this helps.
…Get off your soap box, we have heard how great
the man is, several times, wonderful for you- not EVERY person is the same, ok?
How I make my own laundry soap. . sm
The basic ingredients are Borax, Washing Soda, and Fels Naptha. You could also use Ivory soap instead of the Fels Naptha. I also use the Fels Naptha to get out stains by wetting the fabric and rubbing the Fels Naptha directly on the stain.
I really like the laundry soap, but it did take a little while to get used to it. It doesn't make hardly any suds and I was worried about whether or not it was doing a good job of cleaning. My DH is very picky, especially about laundry soap. I didn't even tell him I was making my own soap, and he didn't notice! I do put a little bleach (about 2 tablespoons) in with my towels because they never smelled fresh. I had to do this even when I used Tide or Era. We have well water, and our water has an odor sometimes. When I first started using this laundry soap, I would only use it for clothes that weren't heavily soiled. I gradually started using it for everything when I realized that it was doing a pretty good job. It is fun to make and so cheap.
I hope it is okay to post links on this website. This is where I got my recipe- http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm
I used to LOVE soap with toys in it.
I think I had one when I was little called Fuzzy Wuzzy--or maybe I don't remember. (I'm 45 now.) But what a great thing to recreate.
Use every last drop of dish soap...sm
I don't have a dishwasher so I have to use liquid soap. I never throw the bottle away because I can't squeeze anymore out. When I'm running my next dishwater, I run water in the bottle and use every last drop. The cap even has enough residue on it for 1 load. Same goes for shampoo and conditioner. Even laundry soap.
I'll often use shampoo for body wash. If you use Suave or VO5 it's usually only .99 a bottle and when it's on sale for less than that I'll buy a few bottles. It's a lot cheaper than bodywash.
I try to do errands and appointments on the same day. Mapped out right so I save gas.
Never buy infant, toddler, preschool kids clothes brand new. Buy at thrift, second hand stores or garage sales. They outgrow them faster than the bank statement arrives. They also tend to stain and ruin clothes pretty darn easily and quickly.
I was wondering why no soaping with my new body soap
gosh, used it 2 days and on this 2nd day looked at the bottle and it is body lotion. That's what happens after you reach a certain age- those fine lines are more difficult to read.
Well, I got a cast list (not on Soap C) and she wasn't on it.

i thought you wanted to talk about soap!

Ohh, Cetaphil, try their soap for dry and sensitive skin!
Wonderful products!
I put Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher
I did not realize laundry soap and dishwasher detergent do not make bubbles. I didn't have any dishwasher detergent so decided to just a few drops of Dawn. Suds came out of the top of the dishwasher and all over the kitchen. For a few drops, it filled the kitchen. You would think it would be easy to clean up but it was terrible. Soap suds can't just be mopped up, especially when they are 3 inches tall. lol
How many of you are making the homemade laundry soap?
I just did this week and I love it. Its going to save so much on laundry detergent. I'm very happy with the results.
HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT
Ingredients:
3.1 oz bar Ivory soap or 2 regular bar sizes(Ivory is chosen because it's all natural. You may use a soap of your choice)
1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
½ cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda or Baking Soda (I used baking soda since I couldn't find the washing soda)
Water
Tools:
5 Gallon container
Knife
Pot large enough to hold 5 cups of water
Long stirring stick/spoon (for 5 gallon container)
Instructions:
Shave the soap into small strips or grate it up finely with a grater and place in the pot with 5 cups of water. Bring the water just shy of a boil and stir until the soap is completely melted. When the soap is just about melted, pour 3 gallons of hot water into the 5-gallon container and let it sit until the soap in the pot is totally melted. Once all of the soap shavings are melted, pour the mixture into the 5-gallon container and stir.
Once the soap and water are thoroughly stirred, add the ½ cup pf washing soda and stir until dissolved. Once the washing soda is dissolved, pour in the cup of borax and stir again until dissolved.
***You can add essential oil flavors for the smell but I prefer without.
My ex-husband worked at Bellsouth and it was like a soap opera. Not

Don't mix soap/lotion/personal care with food. nm

Old part-timer - the laundry soap recipe
I found this online and it's the closest to my own recipe. It also includes the directions and the pricing comparisons included are also very similar to prices in my area.
The only difference is, in my part of the country, Arm & Hammer wash soda isn't common on the store shelves and I have to order it online.
Since one of the kiddos is sensitive to perfumes, I will sometimes divide part of one batch into a couple of smaller bottles and add a drop or two of lavender essential oils just for the master bathroom towels and bedsheets.
Billy Mays, doing ads for soap, just found dead
At age 50, my goodness. This week has without a doubt been one for the books. They said Billy Mays on flight that landed yesterday and as it did blew out tire in front. He was hit on head but stated he was alright. They found him dead this morning around 7 something.
I have been making my own laundry soap. It only costs me about $10 for a 6-month supply. nm

GMA=no fake...
On Good Morning America, they stated when the little girl was asked why she was crying, she stated she just liked Sanjaya.I also saw her crying for a few others, but don't remember names of them.
On a personal note, I do think he did better last night, but IMO he is not good enough to stay. There are far better others, and even some that are already gone!

fake since - sm
Christmas in ND in 1992 and cats not staying out of the tree no matter what, drinking all the water, chewing on the needles. Went to fake and up to 9 feet tall now and really no problems at all even if there is a kitten at Christmas time. Such a difference at our house going from real to fake. Plus, no zillion needs to clean up. I do miss the fragrance, but it was either the cats or the real tree and the cats won! :-)
fake
fake, little, and up on a table, bought when we were broke, now not sure if we should go back to real.
Fake
I'm allergic so real is not an option. We have a big one but bought a thinner one last year. They are both pretty tall though. It just took up so much room in our living room. We were tired or rearranging the furniture around the xmas tree. The new one rotates so you can see all the ornaments!
Fake the flu..nm

These are fake. sm...
According to www.truthorfiction.com, these are frames clipped from a YouTube video of an episode of "Lost" and posted online.
ToF is a way to back up what Snopes says and vise-versa.
I agree with the poster below, it IS very sad that somebody would do this.
Up. Fake but gorgeous! lol (we think so at least!)

First fake tree ever!
I put it up last night and I have to say, it's quite impressive! Lots of lights, nice shape, easy to put together and even has a remote control to switch the lights on and off. I miss the smell of a real tree but not the mess.
put up a fake owl......someone just told
Best fake tan products?
Does anyone have a good experience with any of the fake tanning products out there? I want something easy to apply that looks as natural as it can be out of the bottle. Thanks so much!
Real or fake? Big or little?
Christmas tree preference?
It was never long in the first place. It was all fake! nm

Now there's a rumor about that little girl being a fake.
I would hate to think that someone would ask a little kid to do something like that. Seems unlikely, but they did focus on her an awful lot. Thoughts?
It's not fake. Other people in Savannah had

Fake, skinny. Don't have much space...sm
but I didn't want table size tree. Got it last year and was really amazed at how pretty it turned out.
I saw this video yesterday but to me it looks fake and set up. NM

Fake for the past 3 years
I love it. Lights came attached and are remote control, no untangling of lights! Not to mention I bought it on sale 3 years ago for $99 so it's already more than paid for itself. I miss the smell of a real tree but not the mess and constant watering and picking up needles, trying to keep my animals from drinking out of the water in the base, etc. :)
I think the boy's teeth look terrific, not fake
at all. I know that when my son first got his braces off it was very, very strange. I called him Willie Wonka for a few days. They were just sooo perfect it was kinda freaky, but the strangeness wore off after a few days. Does your son like how they turned out?
I would fake a heart attack before I put myself into that situation. Don't let me get sm
started on in-laws. I can't stand mine either. Ohh, it's bad. Hey, at least you have 1 who is a nuisance - I have 3! All DH's sisters...We are going to a friends (REAL friends) for Thanksgiving this year. My DH finally smartened up to their nonsense and really don't want to be around them either, thankfully. Good luck. My heart goes out to you because I know how you feel. There will be many on this board who will tell you to "go, put a smile on your face," and obviously they've never been where you and I have been. Good luck in whatever you do and know that you are NOT alone. I can't stand evil, hateful, jealous, condescending, rude people one bit. My life is too precious to deal with mess like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that judge with his FAKE tears and emotionalisms

I knnow - it makes you feel like such a fake (sm)
When you go to church and your husband puts his arm around you in front of everyone and they all think he's so great and that you are such a nice happy family. And if I ever say anything about things not being great to anyone at church they act like I am just being a bad wife. However, I have not talked to the pastor, which now that you mention it, is probably what I should do right away.
Fake, but full-sized for the first time
in years.
With so many family members with terrible allergies to real trees (or the spray used on them), it's safer for me to have fake. Plus it might be less tempting to the boys to lift a leg on. We'll see.
Fake accents and funny voices
That is what I've had all day. I'm tempted to type their reports in wingding and send it back to them like that.
Heck no! Finally had to get a fake one due to hub's allergies, but it is a beauty once it's up

I live in the south. Her accent sounds really put on and fake to me, BUT
I actually do think she is a neat lady. No, I do not eat the types of things she cooks. Brother, none of it is one bit healthy! Fried everything and pounds of butter in everything. Yes, it tastes great I am sure, but who can afford those calories on a regular basis?
she was referring to fake image....not the music itself...why do you feel

Yes, I will get off this crazy fake MTStars. My posts keep getting deleted when I say something neg
Lets see if this one stays or goes.
