What Latitude are you on in Canada? Nothing has even started to come to life where I am. I live in Chicago. So about 40 degrees north, but I'm closeish to the lake, so it's a bit more moderate here.

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Umm... do you mean 40˚ South? Because 40˚ is practically in the arctic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Nope. I checked, Chicago is 42 degrees north of the equator, so my estimate of 40 was very close, less than 5% error. Besides, the numbering system goes all the way up to 90 degrees north, which would be the north pole. So yeah, 40 degrees north is nowhere near the arctic.

Sounds like one of a series of products commonly referred to as "snake oil." Or some kind of mineral water blessed at the local church-of-the-month-club. Honestly, that looks less like snake oil than like normal soap. If you take out all the adjectives, you get water, ash, some minerals, a foaming agent/scent, and some chemical gibberish that he's probably just using to mean "sodium hydroxide" AKA lye. By mixing lye with ash with water, you get a very primitive soap. If you dissolve that in hydrogenated fats, you get a bar of soap. He's probably just diluted it enough that he gets liquid soap. It's not so much classified as "snake oil", which would be what you would get if you tried to market water or olive oil as soap (it's been done), but it falls more under "snake oil salesmanship"- he's selling you a primitive form of soap as a miracle clenser. While he's clearly not being entirely honest(electrically engineered water? Ha!), he's not lying either, and thus, the product is still kosher.

I'll have to take your word on it, since I barely passed chemistry in high school, and therefore couldn't quite understand a good part of the label. In the meantime, I will say that I've been to a holistic show once or twice, and some of the labels there were definitely weirder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 hey everyone guess what i have a new house that's what it's kind of sparse at the moment since none of the furniture has been delivered yet but it's still nice here you can see the gas log fireplace (not operational, the gas isn't turned on yet). by the end of the day there was a fridge to the left of that intercom. observe my kitchen. also look how good i am at unpacking stuff (not very) these are stairs. they are a practical means of conveyance between different elevations, provided you have functional legs. also you can catch a glimpse of my car in the garage. also also notice the burglar alarm which i managed to set off by accident the first time i went in have a backyard. there is a covered deck and a bit of gardeny area around the outside. i'm probably going to put some vegetables there at some point and maybe a fig tree here is some more backyard. there is a clothes line strung up behind that little maze of wooden wall things but i have a dryer so who cares this is the bathroom. it is an important room. this is the master bedroom. it is mine because i am the master. there will be a bed in it soon. here is what the house looks like from outside. the maple tree in front of it is dead but hopefully there will be a new one soon. well, that is my house. see you later with more house pics when i actually have furniture.
