Jim – as always you prove yourself thoughtful and kind (Jim has offered to mind his snacks after the Clodhopper incident). But seriously, bring any old crap you want. Bring a bucket of ice cream. Bring live cows for slaughter. Whatever. We are always and forever surrounded by foods we shouldn’t eat, and it’s just a normal part of our lives to have to choose no. It’s far more important to me that you enjoy your snacking here than that you obsess over junk food labels when selecting poker munchies. 
Lara – Holy crap, I never even thought of grooming products. Imagine now, if you will, the sound of my anguished scream as I imagine having to give up my Dove soap. I can’t live without Dove! It’s a quarter moisturizer! Why is the world so unfair!
Sorry, hon. In my defense, I did offer substitutes. And the Dr. Bronner’s soap is almost entirely made of hemp oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, etc. Most of it both organic and fair trade.
It’s about the only thing I can use that doesn’t aggravate my eczema.
Jojoba oil is really great for acne because it helps balance facial oil.-’:
