        ya know…..maybe just the soaps! they pack easy.

        actually my wife was in London last may and i had her totally stock me up. she bought an extra bag just to send check-in back to the states. yeah they were not going to allow her to carry-on a gallon of extract of limes product. and shipping from trumpers is dagger in my patent leather heart.

        we can work this out. i just know it.

          When you bring the soap in large quantities, prepare to have your suitcase inspected. Soap has a very similar density to explosives and will thus show up on their screen and make them check it. So if you know that, you will put no valuable in that same suitcase and maybe leave the receipt for the soap in the bag where the soap is. Or you take it through as hand luggage in which case you should also prepare to be inspected.

            LC I'm loving the short(er) due on you  😉

            LC it must have been so hard to say goodbye to those lush locks, but I love the new cut too - looks great!

            Will somebody take pity on me and explain what "due" means?  😞

              Paula, I think Seul meant "'do" – as in "hair-do".

                I was thinking it was 'do', but checked Lando'c post and it said 'due' so I figured the 'merican 'd know best… Should've known better, of course  😛

                  I had been growing it for 2.5 years with only 1 trim. Yes I am sad to see it go but it was time for a change and there are others that could benefit from it more than myself. As far as "Due", I meant "Hair-Do" as shubs said. Thank you all and a HUGE thanks to Vinneus who none of this would be possible without!

                    Thanks all for explanation of "due", it makes sense now realising that you pronounce "due" and "do" same way, whereas we pronounce "due" same as "dew".  ("Two countries separated by a common language" - George Bernard Shaw)

                    Just conscious as I get older that I don't keep up with all the current expressions used and don't want to make a complete idiot of myself!  Any of you watch "Modern Family"?  In the first episode of recent series (first series I think) the dad is explaining what a "cool" dude dad he is and how he knows all the text acronyms the "kids" use - anyone seen this?  It's so embarrassing and cringeworthy, and so hilarious.

                    Anyway, once again, new Landocal look is great, well done to you and Vinneus.

                      Paula, yes…(hope you don't mind my addressing you as Paula, Mrs. G.) -- yes, I do watch "Modern Family". It's fucking hilarious and I do remember the episode you're talking about !

                        Course I don't mind you calling me Paula, am delighted (and it makes a nice change from most of the names G calls me!)

                        Glad you're a fan of Modern Family, and I agree it is fucking hilarious.

                        ??? OMG, just used the F word online for the first time in my life!  I am such a wuss.

                          That won't help the Americans. They pronounce dew, due, do and doo (as in shoobi-doo) all the same. 🙂

                          Things had to be simplified here because there were so many people from so many countries. They had to get on the smallest common denominator.

                            "doo" usually means shit – as in crap. Like "dog doo".

                                I know I didn't contribute much to this thread, but just to prove I was listening.  I am now an official retailer of Dr Bronner cleaning stuff.  I'm just working out what to get, any suggestions would be useful.

                                And I know you don't approve TFAR, so no response needed from you 😉

                                      Fucking marvelous news!

                                      This stuff works wonders (as detergent) and it the cleanest smelling stuff to ever entre my nose:
                                      http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/SAL.htm

                                      All the bar soaps are great (normally I opt for peppermint or unscented) and I'm actually interested to try the shaving gels, so if that sounds like something you like to pick up and start to carry, G, you can expect me to be a loyal customer.  Most major markets in the states have only just started carrying Doc Bronners, but I've yet to find that shaving gel.
