    Soapmaking

    Chuckwagon, that is an awesome way to make salt soaps! I bet those smell amazing, it looks great. Melana, definitely could have chosen worse things to get into. Soap making is rather tame! And as Yooper mentioned, it certainly results in nice skin. I wasted some beer this weekend by...

    Soapmaking

    I think I'm going to stick with individual cavity molds for salt soaps in the future. I love big, hand cut bars, but I unmolded and cut this while it was only a couple hours old. Still warm, managed to break some bars. Ingredients: Coconut oil, coarse kosher salt, goat's milk, NaOH, white...

    Soapmaking

    I have definitely ruined a batch of salt soap by waiting too long to unmold it and cut. I did that quite recently, actually! Thankfully it still works wonderfully, despite not being very pretty. I am sure I could call it "rustic" and that would be fine, hah!

    Soapmaking

    No pictures yet, but I just made a new batch of salt soap. It is made with goat's milk and white sugar (just 1 tsp ppo). I used Lemon Creme fragrance oil from Bulk Apothecary, and it smells divine. I love using fresh, fruity scents with salt soaps. Whipping air into soap isn't bad! Some...

    Soapmaking

    These are my soaps I made for Christmas gifts. I only send the prettiest bars out, the ones that don't look nice stay at home for family use. Some need to be cleaned up a bit, like the overflow trimmed off, then they'll be good. Everyone who I send the soap to is already chomping at the bit for...

    Men who sit to pee

    ALL men need to learn how to pee sitting down. When you are 90+, ill, and weak as a kitten, you are not standing to pee while in the hospital. So many elderly men that barely can hold themselves in a sitting position insist on trying to stand to urinate. I know patient satisfaction is important...

    Things about your co-workers that annoy you

    I never understood why people aren't nice to IT people. Because you guys are awesome. Or the people who expect you guys to fix personal, non work related computer or technology issues or free or a very low fee.

    Things about your co-workers that annoy you

    Haha, I know I try to not be that person when having to contact something tech support because I know you guys deal with a lot of frustrations each day. I work a night shift, so unless a failure is catastrophic and affects a lot of important things, it waits until morning. By then I've usually...

    Soap making

    Nigerian Dwarf milk has about 6-8% fat on average. The most for any dairy breed of goat, apparently. It definitely adds some extra superfat to a recipe. If only it separated as easily as cows milk so one could get cream for butter. But that is what a cream separator is for :D If you're ever...

    Milwaukee bar suggestion before Brewers game

    Well, The Safehouse is s cool bar. Kinda overpriced, but if you're into espionage stuff at all, worth it! Knowing the password (my lips are sealed) is helpful to get in, but not required. You just have to gain entry through...different means!

    Sealing bottles with wax

    I think sealing mead with beeswax would be an great look for mead in clear wine bottles. Wax from bees would compliment the fermented honey from bees!

    Video Games

    Starting to play Witcher: Wild Hunt. The graphics are so gorgeous! Gotta get used to the gameplay, though. I've been playing a lot of Skyrim recently.

    Calling All Metal Fans

    I know a lot of metal lovers seem to dislike Nightwish, but I am pumped to see them next year. I bought tickets for my sister and I. I used to steal all of her CDs, mostly metal and whatnot, but some others in the mix. I don't even know what is on my 80gb worth of music on my harddrive anymore...

    Stories about Goats

    I should have filmed a video of one of my does yesterday. She had a dental problem that needed fixed, so she got some good drugs so the vet could work on her. When she was recovering, she was totally like "I goat this" but her legs were far less functional than she believed them to be...

    Adventures in Kefir

    You could always get a goatskin bag if you're shooting for true authenticity! However, I am not sure where you might procure such a vessel. I would imagine that the the bag itself, over time, is colonolize by nifty beneficial bacteria and yeast colonies. At least, I would hope they are...

    Working full time and going back to school?

    Student by day and worker by night here. Exhausting, but there're should be some benefit....someday. If you have the will to do it, you will succeed. It seems never ending, though.

    Things about your co-workers that annoy you

    It would be fantastic....if you know, sexy people were the ones stripping. 99% of the time, 'tis confused elderly folks. The other 1% of the time, well, let me just say some people are amateur exhibitionists.

    Things about your co-workers that annoy you

    Your formula is brilliant. Any number of women greater than X will always lead to conflict! Not sure who did it, but there is craft herpes in my locker at work now. Has she remembered her password for the past few years and in the past year is having trouble remembering? Because if...
