Making soap? When one of my grandmothers passed, I had to help go through all her things. One half of her two car garage was stacked to the ceiling with boxes. Each of the boxes, about 80 of them, was labeled with a number. On the wall was a diagram of where each box was and what was in it. Three of the boxes were full of used socks either unmatched or with holes. Two of the boxes were gloves the same way. Two of the boxes were used pieces of aluminum foil. One box was pieces of string, another was rubberbands. She was a night club singer in Chicago in the Twenties. She would never tell us what she did in the thirties. Old habits die hard. I know a banker who told me a story about a man who had $600,000 in his checking account not earning interest. The guy didn't have a phone, so he went to see him. When he went in his house, he had no furniture appliances or fixtures. Nothing but nakid light bulbs. He tried to talk him into a MMF or CD. The guy was to paranoid to do it. True suffering leaves an everlasting impression. Tim
