Soap is interesting, it was made back in the day from fat and alkali usually from wood fire ash.  The fat is saponified, something that rips off the glycerol attached to it leaving a charged end (COO-).  One end remains fatty, olephilic, and the other is charged. In water, it forms micelles, with the charged ends pointing out and the fatty parts pointing in.  Any fatty stuff in the water tends to get trapped inside the micelles.

Detergents do the same thing but are made synthetically (from oil etc.).  So, soap rips apart the lipid (fatty) component of a virus and the rest falls apart.
I read awhile back about lye,hard to believe how it was made from natural substances and could be so caustic.Had something to do with wood ash and water and different stages and ingrediants but I'm not dialed into to chemistry

Yeah, wood ash and fat was the old way of making soap, and if you got the proportions wrong you'd have caustic soap.  Ivory was different because they got a chemist to measure the alkalinity of the caustic they were buying so as to adjust the amount appropriately.  Cincinnati was a big hog slaughtering place so hog fat was cheap.  The story is that a worker went off for lunch and left the pot stirring too long and it whipped air into the soap, and people started asking for the soap that floats, confusing that with purity.  The ad claim of 99 44/100ths was one of the early advertising efforts in the US.

Those early chemists were really good, I think, with such limited equipment.  If you put me in one of those labs I'd be totally useless I suspect.  I imagine they could titrate for alkalinity using phenolphthalein.

I use the Kindle so getting new books is easy for me. But even with Amazon prime, it's only a 1-2 day wait.

I do words with friends because nobody in real life play will scrabble with me.
Yeah, I have quite a few books myself on my Nook, but I am one of those people who prefer being able to touch the pages and the smell of books brings back wonderful memories.  Weird, I know.  E-books just don't have the same feel.  Unfortunately for me, some of the authors I like to read have not switched to e-books exclusively but will for example have the first three books of a series in paperback, the next one only as an e-book, and the next two are back to paperback again.  Irritates me to be missing a part of a continuing story and being forced in a sense to buy the e-book if I want to know what's going on.  

I have the Scrabble board game to play with my sister but I also have it on my computer so I play against the computer when I'm by myself.  When my kids were little, we played Monopoly a lot but don't have the time for long extended games anymore which kinda takes the fun out of it, lol

Show the kids how to cook. There is a cookbook at the top of the B1G board with recipes galore.

If the kids are old enough.. maybe they could organize said cookbook so it looks like it used to!!

I'm leaving DC tomorrow stay with my parents for the next few weeks. They just announced occupancy restrictions so it's only a matter of time before the whole city is effectively shut down. Hopefully the worst will be over by the end of the month, but I'm not getting my hopes up at this point.....
