...for requesting those particular ingredients.

You might as well have asked for Fuel Oil and Fertilizer.

I just thought it was funny.

As a FireFighter, I was required to take a course in arson.
I was very surprised to discover how many common House Hold products
can be extremely explosive and very toxic when mixed together in the right quantities.

There was a popular publication back in the late 60s called
" The Anarchist Cookbook" that detailed many of these.
I believe you can be put on the Homeland Security No Fly Watch List just for Googling that title,
but I did happen to notice that it is On Sale at Amazon.
(Oh gawd, Now I am going to get a friendly visit for typing that.)

My wife and I moved to The Woods in 2006 with a commitment to live as sustainably, Green, and independently as possible.
We currently make a bunch of stuff we used to buy.

Cheers!

I used to use Woolite all the time, then they perfumed it...
