I like Firefly as a name for a car.
We just sold Robin. Ds had been driving her but he bought Ivy. Dh and I don't need three vehicles. It took me a few weeks to decide whether to keep Robin or Indy (short for GoIndigo; not Indy 500). Dh was driving Betsy when we met. I was driving Pony (who had...
My favorite voice is that of James Earl Jones. But I don't think his voice would be best as sports announcer. Its too deep and slow for that application.
My all time favorite use of movie quotes by our family, though, is my youngest son at the top of the Power Tower at Cedar Point for the first time back when it was new. He was about twelve, I think, and very slightly built (I don't know why that matters, but it seems to add to the atmosphere)...

Hm, wow. At that price, I might get a copy too.
I could but I would end up plagiarizing Anne L Watson.
They do. In the drain cleaners section. I don't remember if they also sell lye with other things in it so read the label.
There is a world of difference between lye from wood ashes and lye crystals from the store.
Nope. A universe of difference.
Also in tallow (so I assume lard too) that I tried to render and what comes already rendered in the grocery store. I tried making soap once the old (like 70's and 80's)...
I credit Anne L Watson's books for getting my daughter and I into soap making.
But we use recipes from most any website or book. They have all worked well. A few decades ago, soap making was difficult to do but some improvements in the processes and the soap calculators have taken nearly all...
If you care to figure it out
I had to for all contact products after the dermatologist ruled out Pemphigus vulgaris (after being almost sure she did) in my mother and another of her doctors finally figured out she was allergic to formaldehyde, parabens, and all of the other preservatives used...
