Beware the soap Nazis! Don't think the soap Nazis aren't already stopping home soap makers. Remember a few years ago when you could go to most grocery stores and any hardware store and buy a lb. of lye. Can't do that anymore. Apparently lye is used in making meth, so home soap makers are out of luck unless they want to order it. Then they have to pay for hazardous shipping.

You can still buy drain cleaner. ... For now.

Hell; just make your own, it’s not that hard to do.
Couple of empty 5 gallon plastic buckets, a drill bit, some hardwood ash and water.

My husband bought me a large case full of bottles of lye several
years ago. I think we have all that we will ever need.

We both like “Our Soap” the best, made with my usual recipe and
scented with Tea Tree and Lavender oils.

Speaking of which, I really should make a couple of batches soon.

And anyone who thinks I’m a meth head need only take one look
at me. I’m obese, have all my teeth, am relatively unwrinkled, and
undergoing chemotherapy.

I have never been arrested in my entire life. No mug shots.

My police record consists of speeding tickets, about three or four.
I think... Let’s see... California, California, California, Montana.
Yeah. That’s it. Three tickets on my motorcycle, and one in a car.
