Cars of beauty: 1982 Dodge Aries
For Tuesday:
I am cheap and old fashioned.
Do you use soap in the way ‘god’ (little g) created it, as a bar? My Sherry uses some fancy stuff in a bottle. (Now
I will admit, she does smell and FEEL great after a shower.) She also uses
shampoos and rinses and stuff.
I was taught things the RIGHT (or Marine) way early from a DI on Parris Island. “You
don’t need that girly shampoo crap, there ain’t room in your pack for it. WE
Marines use a bar of soap! That works for any cleaning. If you are tough enough
you can brush your teeth with it.” (I never got that tough! LOL)
It
has been ‘hinted’ that using soap vs shampoo on my hair ‘killed’ the roots.
LOL. If that were true my mama should have been bald; she used lye soap for
years. :-O
WE
do have pump soap at every sink and vanity. I use that most times for my hands.
BUT, what brought this subject up is my hand soap. I noticed during my last
shower my soap is 4 colors.
I
am not dedicated to any hand soap brand. The last I bought was Dial, it was the
least expensive. As my bar wears down to a sliver, I mold it into my new bar. I have changed
colors 4 times now and have them all. LOL
Yep I do buy the cheapest soap.
Up
until I was 6 we used mama’s home-made lye soap. Somehow she used hog fat in
making it. I think that because soap making was right at hog killing time. Mama & daddy cut the big soap hunks into
bars of all shapes using the butcher knife.
As
a kid in a tin tub and later in a bath tub, I liked Ivory because it floated
like a boat, lye soap did not.. LOL
We
are set up at Green Mountain, near Lenoir NC. We have a great sight, a little
rain and about 70 degrees. One small incident. I backed into a tree and put some 'character' in our roof ladder. Things like this I can handle and repair, not a big problem, backing 6 more inches would have been a problem LOL.
Be Safe and live well.

With your hair style, using a bar of soap would be ok, but not many of us would want to do that. I haven't use d a bar of soap in a long time.I like the shower gels with some moisturizer. And always use a nice shampoo and conditioner on my hair. It's nice to see you all on the road again. Looks like a nice site, but ouch on the ladder. Now you have something else to fix. Enjoy the trip!

Gary an Anna Mae !!!!
I hadn't thought of Ivory soap in years! Yep, that was the best part of having to take a bath. I bought a bar of soap (can't recall the brand) a couple years ago because someone said rubbing it on a mosquito bite was guaranteed to stop the itch. (Nope, didn't work.) I remember my grandfather and uncle coming home from the field and washing their hands with that nasty Lava soap. I suppose the rest of us had to use it as well, but I can't for the life of me remember.
Your RV managed to survive, thankfully.
My gr-mas had made their own soap, but when ready-made was available, the ash and rendered fat were forgotten. Mom used Ivory for us kids, since it didn't get lost in murky bath water.
Being on the road would be refreshing.
Glad you got there safely and have a great attitude about the ladder! We used Ivory soap growing up. Then Dial and Irish Springs. Now I use whatever bath liquid soap is the cheapest. Enjoy your time in the mountains.

Im with Sherry on the good smelling stuff thought I do have some liquid Ivory that I use currently. Smells good and I am a believer in Ivory.
I do not use bar soap because it gets gooey.
Be careful up there
