TO MY RUTHERFORD CO FB FRIENDS
Hello everyone!! I really could use some help. My daughter-in-law, Tina Hodge, found some locally made goat milk soap made by a man and sold at the Flea Market on 221 in Danieltown. She gave me some of the soap to see if I liked it and WOW, did I ever. It is the most wonderful soap I have ever used. It leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and so soft. I use it on my face too. The folks around here keep asking me what am I using on my face.
Here's the problem. The man no longer sells at the Flea Market and someone told Tina, he was letting a person sell it in their shop but didn't know where. She has tried to no avail to find out who.
The soap comes in a variety of very light scents and doesn't bother my asthma. I am including a picture of Cherry Almond. There is also Bayberry, Honeydew Melon, an Apple scent, many many more. I am down to only two bars left and I really need to find some more.
If you know of someone who sells this soap please contact me by leaving a comment on this post or leaving a message on FB. Thanks a lot.

THIS IS WHY S&P DOWNGRADED US ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Chris Thomas says this......
Kinda brings home what a pitiful attempt has been put forth by our leaders who get raises practically every year, and have their own retirement and medical insurance that is not subject to the plans that they vote on for us and ask us to make sacrifice for after we have paid in for it.
The Debt Deal In Perspective
Purpose:
To put the debt limit debate / debt deal of the last few weeks in perspective.
2011 Federal Budget Deal
Federal Budget: $3,820,000,000,000 (3.82 Trillion)
Income: $2,170,000,000,000 (2.17 Trillion)
New Debt: $1,650,000,000,000 (1.65 Trillion)
Amount Cut: $38,500,000,000 (38.5 Billion) - about 1% of the total budget.
Harry Reid is calling this a "historic amount". The President said it is a "historic deal". John Boehner simply said, "We've come to an agreement".
Let's put this in perspective. It helps if we put the numbers in terms to which we can relate.
Let's remove NINE zeroes from those numbers and pretend this is a monthly household budget for the fictitious Jones family.
Amount of money the Jones family spent this month: $3,820
Total income for the Jones family this month: $2,170
Amount of new debt added to the Jones family credit card this month: $1,650
Outstanding balance on the Jones family credit card: $14,271 (represents our national debt).
So last week, the Jones family sat down at the kitchen table and agreed to cut $38 from their monthly budget.
A historic amount?!!!
