If you run across any of the directory threads that haven't gotten any replies can you let me know?
I saw two different ones today that hadn't, I thought they all have but I must have missed some. Since there are more then a hundred threads in the directory it makes it hard to find the time to just go down and check them all to make sure they have at least on recipe/tip.
So if you happen to come across one when you are looking for something I would appreciate the heads up so I can remedy the situation.
Thanks
Wow - what a huge amount of work you put into this! Thank you KayMMIV. I am really enjoying exploring this group!
This is great! I was just going to post and ask if anyone knew any recipes for skin care. Lots of options to try here!!

Sorry, my link button doesn't work......
Hi there, I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed this site! I
finally started making making my laundry soap (dry) a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it. I was able to buy the borax locally but had to buy the Fels Naptha & washing soda online, which made it a bit more expensive with shipping. I started using the soap about a month ago, and am so pleased with it that I'm making some for Christmas presents. Weird, I know, but I have several friends asking for it. This soap works great. Next batch I want to try with ivory bar soap or something similar, I think I read on here you can use that in place of the Fels Naptha, and that's one less item I have to send away for.
I finally received all the stuff to make the dry dishwasher detergent with Citric acid, doing that next.
I just cant tell you enough how much I appreciate this group. Thanks so much -
Chris
PS. I'm also into curb-shopping and garden junk, know of any good groups on here like that?
Thanks again.
