We are not worthy. Excellent.

I am filled with guilt because I don't save those little slivers of soap as my mother before me did, to melt down with all the other slivers of soap saved by the church women through the year.
They would put them in a big kettle to melt and then they made new bars to send to Africa.
I remember telling this once before, and someone offered a solution of pressing the slivers into a new bar as it softened, so nothing is wasted.
I tried it- and it didn't work-- the sliver does not integrate, it merely sits there and then comes unstuck in your armpit or elsewhere, which is very irritating, so I ignore this noble recycling suggestion, and throw out the damn slivers.
