Q: Glycerin is often sold in supermarkets, craft stores, and beauty stores in a 2lb (0.91kg) block. Once you have the 1lb (0.45kg) block of glycerin you need for this recipe, you can save the other half for another saddle soap mixture in the future. If you're storing extra glycerin for future use, you can wrap it in plastic wrap or wax paper, and store it in a cool, dry area. The small chunks of glycerin you cut do not have to be perfect or even. Cut the block into small chunks the size of your thumbnail. These smaller pieces will melt more quickly in your microwave. Place the small chunks of glycerin in a microwaveable bowl. Heat the glycerin on medium power for 30 seconds in your microwave, then remove and stir. Keep microwaving in 30 second intervals until the glycerin has melted. A 1lb (0.45kg) piece of glycerin will make approximately 2 cups (470mL) of liquid when melted. Stir continuously to combine. To make a scented version of saddle soap, replace the milk or cream with 0.25 cups (59mL) leather cleaner (not leather conditioner). Stir in a few drops of scented essential oils. Cream-based saddle soap made with animal fats and protein, like milk, condition leather well. Make sure you scrape any buildup from the sides and mix it in as well. It will begin to thicken as it cools. Once your soap mixture is becoming harder to stir but still able to be poured, it's ready for storage. Let your saddle soap cool for an hour or two before sealing the jar or container. When it is hard to the touch, it has set and is ready to use. The glycerin will prevent the milk or cream in your soap from going rancid. Make your saddle soap last longer by storing it away from water in a cool, dry place.
A: Cut a 2lb (0.91kg) block of glycerin in half. Cut the 1lb (0.45kg) block of glycerin into smaller chunks. Melt the 1lb (0.45kg) of glycerin in 30 second intervals. Stir the 0.25 cups (59mL) of milk or cream into your mixture. Stir your soap mixture until it begins to thicken. Pour the mixture into your jar or container.

Q: If one partner is willing to convert to the other partner's religion, many problems may be easily solved as there won't be two sets of traditions and beliefs to be followed. Review whether this conversion is happening because the one partner wants it to happen, or because there's too much pressure on them from outside parties (e.g. religious leaders, family members, etc.). It is very important that you and your partner do not convert because of too much pressure from the other person. Converting from one religion to another is an extraordinarily big step and should not be taken lightly. Does the religion of one partner require that the marriage ceremony takes place in a specific location? Or does the fact that it's an interfaith marriage limit the locations where the ceremony can be performed? Is the ceremony itself going to be a religious event? Are both religions to be celebrated at the marriage ceremony, or do you need to conduct two marriage ceremonies? If you want to hold your marriage ceremony in a specific location, or include a specific item, determine if you need to obtain permission from religious leaders to do this. If the marriage ceremony is to include one or more religious event, will there be any restrictions on the religious leader who can lead that event? For example, some religions forbid their religious leaders from performing a marriage ceremony for an interfaith couple. Do you plan to follow both religions regularly, or is the religion of one partner more important to them than religion is to the other partner? Regardless of which religions are to be followed, are they going to be followed by both partners, or just the one who is a part of the religion? To make your long-term relationship truly last, these are the types of things you need to figure out in advance. Will your children follow one of the religions or both? Will you allow them to eventually choose a religion they prefer when they're old enough, or will you have them participate in religion events from the time they're born? For example, if one partner is Catholic, will your children be baptized as babies, or will you let your children decide which religion they prefer when they grow up? Maintaining an interfaith relationship when there are only two people involved is difficult but is a lot easier than maintaining an interfaith relationship that involves children. Some religions require that the partner who follows that religion do everything in their power to promise to raise children as part of their faith.
A: Discuss if one partner will be willing to convert to the other partner's religion. Decide where the marriage ceremony will be conducted. Determine which religion will be followed on a regular basis. Think about how you will raise any children you have.

Q: You may want to take care of your parent or take away their means of consuming alcohol. However, hiding the alcohol or pouring it down the drain can often anger the person and make situations worse. Do not blame yourself for your parent's drinking; it is not your fault and you did not cause them to drink. You did not cause your parent's drinking problem and you cannot solve it for them. You may experience many complex emotions around your parent and their drinking problem. You may struggle with feeling love, frustration, anger, hopelessness, or helplessness. You may love your parent but hate their drinking problem. You are not the only person who struggles with conflicting emotions, and you are not alone in your struggles. Journal your feelings about your parent. You may wish to write a letter to your parent detailing how their drinking affects you and what emotions you feel. You may want to write the letter and process your feelings, then decide not to send it. Find healthy ways to cope with stress through adulthood. Instead of turning to drugs, alcohol, sleeping, or bingeing on food or television, find healthy outlets for your stress. Use exercise to get your body moving and relieve stress, such as dancing, going to the gym, or taking a hike. Spend time with friends by having a game night or going bowling. Do things that make you feel good and that are good for you. Have activities that you enjoy that you do regularly. This can include engaging a hobby, starting a yoga practice, or reading a book. Make time for yourself. Do some meditation, go for a daily walk, or savor a cup of tea in the morning. Take a break to help you put things in perspective. It's difficult to cope with the lifestyle and resulting feelings of having an alcoholic parent. Don't feel like you have to keep it all to yourself. Sharing your feelings and frustrations can help you feel better and not so alone. Find a friend who is willing to listen to you and approach the situation nonjudgmentally. Confide in a sibling or close friend. It's okay to talk to someone and it doesn't mean you're being disloyal to your parent. Some adult children have difficulty engaging in intimate relationships and may tend to shy away. Interpersonal relationships may difficult due to a need for approval or low self-esteem. Having intimate relationships is an important part of connecting with others and creating meaningful relationships. Friendships contribute to overall happiness and stress reduction and can offer support when you need it. If you have difficulty meeting friends, try volunteering. It's a great way to meet people with similar interests as you and can provide an environment to meet people and get to know one another.
A:
Put away your sense of responsibility. Accept your feelings as normal. Practice healthy coping for stress. Confide in someone. Engage in meaningful relationships.
