Hi Robin and List....

 

We have Emus here in Wisconsin.....In fact, a few months ago,

one got loose and amazed a bunch of folks at a fast food place in

Central Wisconsin.....not used to seeing an avian that size......

 

Anyway....for a short intro.....I live in Milwaukee.....got into

Aromatherapy after I healed a nasty oven burn with some Lavender a friend

gave to me....

 

For my day job I do inside Industrial Sales (MRO and some Production)....

I finance my AT forays via my overtime earnings...Despite my sig line, I

do not have an AT business.....but if I ever do, I think it would be a

great business name....

 

Don't really use any kind of EO carrying device, but one handy thing I

came up with.....

 

Take a scrap 2 x 4 and get some of those flat boring bits about the same

size as your bottles.....bore a bunch of holes into the 2 x 4.....

The bottoms of the holes turn out flat, so the bottles sit nicely in

there..

 

When I blend, I load this thing up with whatever bottles I need from my EO

drawer and transport them to where I'm gonna do my blending.....learned

early on that my juggling talent is somewhat limited....

 

You can put them in order....and this way they don't tend to tip on you..

And sooner or later....you're going to tip an open EO bottle over

otherwise....

 

Especially helps when your EO's happen to be in those taller skinny Boston

Round type bottle....and you're sticking the dropper or pipette in and

trying to hold the EO bottle and transfer to the blend bottle....and

wondering where your third hand is....

 

I sanded my blocks down and finished with gunstock oil....stands up pretty

well to the occasional spill or dribble....

>Don't know about the rest of the country, but Emu ranching was a very

promising investment opportunity in the Southern U.S. several years ago, and

many, many people sunk money into them. I personally don't know any one of

them that still have Emus, and assume that they lost big.

 

(sorry, I know this isn't the EMU list, but couldn't help passing that

along)

 

Change the name of the list? What's in a name? Rose Otto (or Rose

Bulgaris) by any other name would smell as sweet!
