  1. Hi SE!! Just dropping by to say hello!

  2. Hardy Boys novels. Tresure Island. Swiss Family Robinson.
  3. I talked to the lady that cuts my hair about this earlier this week. She was very familiar with using baking soda and said she uses it at times especially with people that have 'brittle' hair from too much ummm....fooling with. Or people (especially older women) that don't wash their hair often enough. It's great for removing the built up oils and chemicals that can damage hair. She said she sometimes uses it by mixing up a bit in her hand, applying it to the hair and adding shampoo on top of it to get the job done. Says it's really the 'grit' of the baking soda that gets the job done and that using vinegar to wash it is not absolutely necessary. Water will do but vinegar gives hair that 'squeaky' clean sensation that so many people like. I'm thinking there may be something about the ph balance between the baking soda on one hand and the vinegar on the opposite ph spectrum that might help establish some kind of balance. Also, stimulating the scalp is just as important as getting rid of the oils in the hair. She said she even uses Tide washing powder at times for really difficult situations. Not recommended regularly, but it can be done and is even 'grittier' than the baking soda.
  4. One of my grandparents maiden name was Brothers.
  5. One of my grandparents last name was Ates.
  6. Momo, What's the 'adjustment' that is needed? What happens in the meantime? Also, can this stuff be made up a pint or so at a time? Any idea how much baking soda would be used in, for example, a pint jar?
  7. I think yes lol...Ringo and Ates as well as Brothers.
  8. I'm an INFP. Strong on the NF part. Less so on the I and really on the border regarding the P/J spectrum.
  9. Thank you so much. I've been tinkering with the idea. Now it's time to get down to it. Have you tried making your own rennet as suggested above? Probably lots easier to buy it but I'm just wondering. Thanks again. Paul
  10. Westie, Is this how you make cheese? Thanks for the links. Paul
  11. I didn't even know they had 'dillers in Oz. Know how to clean an Armadillo? Well, you pick up it's little tail and ....
  12. Hmmnn...Baked Mocassin...can't be any worse than some of the other things I've eaten over the years...might be appropriate revenge for them getting in my fish basket hanging over the side of the boat (yep, it happens)...I guess I could sorta curl it around like a length of boudin in a baking dish...
