I'm making my new batch of liquid laundry detergent from soap nuts...on the woodstove.

Nice! Do you find that doing it this way works better than just tossing the canvas bag of nuts n with the laundry? (Or are you leeching the last little bit of saponin out of "spent" nuts?)

I think there are a lot of decent haircuts to be had at reasonable prices.

Oh, for sure. I had a great stylist in college and she worked at the Hair Cuttery! But generally, I do think that the best stylists wind up getting hired by fancier places. (But also, there is a point of diminishing returns. A $50 haircut is almost definitely going to look better than a $20 haircut, but will a $300 haircut look *that* much better than the $50 one? I'm not sure.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I like it this way, Jessica, but I don't have any quantitative evidence either way. I just thow the nuts in the bag if I'm in a hurry and have forgotten to make soap. I do two batches from each set of soap nuts (5 or 6) and that fills a small detergent bottle, so it lasts me longer than just using the nuts each time, I think. It keeps in the fridge, but I generally don't bother.

Yeah, after a certain point you're paying for reputation rather than skill or talent.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

can you believe the soap nuts gave me a rash all over my body? I had to go back to Tide Free.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, totally.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I also need to make soap, but not from soap nut, I need to grate down some ivory bars and mix with borax and arm & hammer.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a haircut scheduled in three weeks. No soap making on the agenda. I'm off to my folks' to spend some quality time watching football.

Oh, hey, it's the anniversary of Ice Cube's Good Day! Hope none of y'all have to use your AKs.
