Twenty Uses For Baking Soda
One Green Generation
Green, frugal, sustainable, simple, healthy, and happy… We are living the lives we want to live. Please Join Us!
"A while back I wrote about the many ways I use vinegar in our home. And I’ve been saying over and over again that you only need vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and soap for the majority of your cleaning. Well, several people have asked me what I use baking soda for – it’s high time I gave baking soda it’s due!
1. Shampoo Replacement. The number one article here at One Green Generation is A Non-Toxic, Frugal Way To Wash Your Hair Without Buying Shampoo. I explain it all in detail there, and I wrote a follow-up about it here as well. Try it!
2. Deodorant. Another very popular post here is How To Make Your Own Deodorant (A Very Simple Recipe). I encourage you to try that as well – so simple!
3. Air Freshener & Deodorizer. Brilliantly easy, all you need to do is open up a box of baking soda, or dump a pile of it into a bowl, and leave it in an offensively smelling area – your fridge, your closet, your pet area, you car, wherever! (Change it out every 3-6 months.)

THE DEFROCKED WARPED PRIMITIVE, #09 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009
Response to Original message
1. A few issues:
I wouldn't use it in powder form in cat litter. Cats lick their paws after they've been scratching around in the litter box and that baking soda can upset their delicate acid-base balance. Just not a good idea. Change or scoop that litter, instead.
It doesn't work by itself to clear a drain. It needs that vinegar. The combination works almost as well as concentrated sulfuric acid does and without the danger, stink, or damage to the pipes.
The water softening properties only work east of the Rockies, where water is more acid than alkaline.
The shampoo idea would work only if your hair isn't oily. If you have hair like mine that slithers into strings, you'll need some sort of soap to shift that oil off it.
The deodorizing properties have been exaggerated. However, washing appliances out with it does seem to leave them a bit fresher.
For the record, the defrocked warped primitive has significant body hair, even though she's 100% a woman with the normal usual standard customary woman desires and urges--which might explain her resentment and anger, which explains her primitivity.
One wonders if she's talking about the hair on her face.

Well this isn't good unless there's a way to make mousse out of baking soda, my hair needs mousse to get it's style.

Who needs mousse if you do like DUmmies and wash your hair just once a year.
....and dread locks look good on a DUmmie.
Dread locks make 'em easier to pick out of a crowd....wink-wink...hint-hint... = :loser:

Oh, no.
The defrocked warped primitive, who turns, or turned, 60 years old this year, is a femme.
From Massachusetts but now living in the isolated mountains of New Mexico, she used to be an R.N., but something, uh, happened with that.
Some people can't be trusted with the keys to the narcotics cabinet in hospitals.
franksolich used to have a great deal of respect, thought the world, of the defrocked warped primitive--it's true, very true, it's in the threads here, but now buried deeper and deeper because of the passage of time--but gave up on her after I learned the more I complimented her, the more I was nice to her, the nastier, pettier, vindictiver, spitefuller, she got.
Sometimes there's no point in being nice to a particular person, and this is the classic case.
The defrocked warped primitive is a good man to have with one, if one is in fisticuffs in a barroom, or the motor vehicle needs pushed out of the snow.
Most definitely a femme, and with the usual femme desires and lusts, alas the defrocked warped primitive was born with a substantial obstacle to all that, being rather square and solid and big-shouldered and big-boned and all that.....not to mention being considerably hirsute.
The defrocked warped primitive, as a little girl, as a young woman, as a middle-aged spinster, and now as an old woman, like all women of all ages, naturally wished to be thought of as attractive, and complimented by those of the male persuasion.
Alas, and I sincerely mean this, that never happened; no guy ever said anything nice about the way she looked.
And hence the defrocked warped primitive became sore, angry, resentful, bitter.
And became a primitive.
This is why I always counsel men, when confronted with a not-very-good-looking woman, to find something, anything, no matter how microscopic or deeply buried, something that one finds aesthetic or attractive in her. Maybe's she's got ankles as thick as tree-trunks, but she also might have pretty eyes. Maybe she's got a grotesque nose, but she's good nice ears. Maybe she's got a face like George Washington, but she's got long, slender fingers. Maybe she stinks like a sheep, but she's got dainty wrists.
And so on.
(No point in lying, as such women see right through this; it has to be something authentically attractive.)
A woman wants to be complimented on how she looks.
If someone had ever told the defrocked warped primitive when a little girl, that she had a "nice smile," that would have saved her from primitivity; from all this anger and rage and resentment and hostility.
I call it a "primitive prophylactic," or preventative, complimenting a woman about how she looks.
Although just a tiny gesture, it saves the world a whole lot of trouble.

I think primitives look like the south end of a northbound "moose" already, so they don't need it!
Oh, wrong "mousse", sorry! heh, heh. heh!

Damn Frank--that paragraph sent me back to my early 20's.

Oh Frank what you said.
I was invited to a party for some of the crew of a Sub and arrived to find the guys all laughing about one crew member that had married a woman that had to have been 3 times his size.
The young man next to me, a half breed from WY. raised on a reservation, pointed out that the woman had a lovely voice and drop dead gorgeous face.
He went on to say much as you have, and I never looked at people in any way other then that all my life.
Thank you for the memory's.

Awwwww, that's actually kind of sad :(.

Yeah, but the defrocked warped DUmor then tries to take it out on anyone who she doesn't agree with. She's not happy unless she's not happy--and trying to spread ehr unhappiness to those who are happy.
-
Funny how these DUmmies talk about not using/buying shampoo, deodorant and including the environment. Just rub some dirt on and you're good to go. :lmao:
Like someone stated earlier, they like the dreadlocks anyways.

Well you have to find happiness within, also happiness is going for a total make-over, get a haircut and style that's flattering to you, go to the major departments stores and get your make-up done and buy a couple of the products, if you feel fine with your body than go out and buy a flattering outfit no matter how big or small you are, if you want to lose weight than go out and do it or find someone to help you do it. If people are unhappy about their appearance they need to do something about it, not just get angry at themselves and others.

Won't work for primitives! If they did as you suggest, they couldn't play the "victim"!
But I admire your attempt! Your hearts in the right place! Unfortunately, DUmmies don't have one! They have dried up old tampons where their heart oughta be!
