    Scented vinegar for laundry

    I would agree with this. I was really enthusiastic, b/c I found some really nice-smelling VO5 conditioner for $.84 at Chinamart, but all I could really smell was the detergent. :( But yes, very soft!! I was wondering if making dryer sheets would make a difference in leaving a fragrance....

    So you purchased a gun? Is the family safer now than before?

    I think it's a good idea too...we have a cannister of "dog attack spray" that we got from Animal Control. I carry it while walking & then leave it by the front door. I'm guessing if it'll deter an attacking dog, it might make a human think twice too. :)

    The xXx Gloom & Doom Report

    You ain't jokin. I get slashed just trying to very carefully pick them. :/ Fortunately, I happen to have some growing right at the fence-line, so maybe I don't need the razor wire after all!! :lol: Oh, & I do like the bus! ;)

    So you purchased a gun? Is the family safer now than before?

    This seems completely bizarre! Where is it written in state law that you can't keep an unloaded gun inside your own home? What would be the grounds for confiscating it?? :rant Personally, we don't have kids, & NO one walks into our home unannounced, not even the inlaws. That being said, I hope...

    The xXx Gloom & Doom Report

    I'm thinking of getting a roll of razor wire or barbed wire & leaving it in the shed, "just in case." I wouldn't put it up "unless...." Bamboo is an interesting idea, it grows wild around here (escaped from someone's garden awhile back, I guess). I wonder if I could dig it up & transplant it...

    hair care?

    It seems a little strange to be putting oil ON your hair...unless you have the frizzies & are trying to calm it down...what am I missing here...? :/

    I want to get some razor wire, but DH looked at me like I'm nuts (nuttier?) when I brought it up. Too obvious, I guess. :lol:

    I think Trim mentioned "Now You're Talking" as a good book, but when I did a search I came up with multiple books with that name, so maybe he can specify which one he meant. :D If I can narrow it down, it's going on my Christmas wish list.

    Stocking Up, Putting Back, Prepping = Paranoia?

    DoC, since you lived thru it, maybe you can address something that I heard in the aftermath. I'm sorry that I can't tell you which network, but there was a newsprogram that claimed that all the tax money that went to the Levy Board for upkeep actually went everywhere BUT the levies. Many people...
