Rose Wax and Living the High?? Life

[Guest guest]

> distribute Rose wax

 

Okay, I'm going to exhibit my complete and total ignorance here and ask -

What is rose wax (Okay, I get WHAT it is), what's it's fragrance like, what

would

you use it for and... anything else you can think of...

 

Just back from Northern California, been to sweltering Redding that has

something I'm not used to seeming much of round here... WATER! Everywhere. Very

pretty area... Going to check it out for possible future living quarters! ;-)

 

Cheers!

Hi Again Butch…….

 

 

WOW!! I don't know what to say………..Thank you!! You are so full of

info. I have wondered for years about the tea and you just came

along and gave me dang near a whole book on it…….WOW!! I'm impressed

and you have my attention now…LOL!

 

I would love to infuse this in my soaps and salves for it's anti-

inflammatory properties. I know my mother- in- law gets it fresh

from the mountains and sent it to us for colds and chest infections

specifically. I will research it more. When and if you get the EO

from it will you please e-mail me. What a special treat for me…

Thanks.

 

Rose wax is great in soaps, butters, and salves to fix a scent and to

give a scent also.

My Zdravetz/Rose soap contains your Rose Hydrosol, Rose wax, Rose

Otto, Zdravetz and a wee bit of this and that…very nice everyday soap.

 

Claymont, DE…I went to Mt. Pleasant H.S. off of Washington St Ext in

DE. Lived in Rosemont, PA for a wee time (Irish lad I am) and spent

many years in Pennsville, & Woodbury, NJ. You were my neighbor.

Claymont was rough and Marcus Hook (the Hill) is where all the bikers

lived from the steel mill…OK I showing my age here…

 

Sushi Pizza…..nnnnaawww not me I like traditional pizza with sauce,

cheese and regular dough. I do like some sushi though. Are dough is

made fresh everyday and raised three times before we add sauce and

toppings. It is a light, crispy, pan pizza. Come have some when you

come home and come over to the Eastern Shore to find a new home..hint

hint. We have lots of land down this way. Very peaceful and lots of

water…LOL!

 

Well..I will be looking for you in late July….with the rose wax, rose

hydrosol and of course, you're famous Rose Otto and maybe the

Sideritis EO??? Keep us up to date. Thanks again for the Tea info…

still cannot believe that. Mountain Tea heh?

 

~Peace~

Ahem. I wonder if our paths ever crossed, although I think my selling the

Distant Drummer and marching in anti-war rallies may have precluded any

Rittenhouse Square fun times. I mean, with the ROTC stuff and all :-)

 

If we were friends back then, i would have turned you on to the best hoagie

and cheesesteak places, the specialities of the city. Roast beef is/was a

specialty of the Irish-oriented pubs in Philly.

 

PS I went to West Catholic at 49th & Chestnut, walking distance from

Drexel. Would hop the Chestnut St. bus after school and go downtown to the

boutiques and yes, Rittenhouse Square.

 

Found out a few years ago that when Bob Marley lived in Wilmington in '67

with his mom for a while, he used to come up to Philly and go to, yes,

Rittenhouse Square. I knew some Jamaicans there, but they were very quiet

and kept to themselves a lot -- can't help but wonder if Bob was one of the

ones I spoke with.

 

Oh, I remember in '68, right after Robert Kennedy's assassination, a group

of Arab guys we knew (who had a huge map of the Middle East up on the wall

of their apartment) disappeared. (apt. right off Rittenhouse Sq.) Just

remember one named Kamal. Scared us girls, for sure, after the

assassination. We just hung with them a bit to see their culture, but we

never really bonded with them. Then they skedaddled. June 68.

Hey Michele,

 

> Hi Butch…….

> Thanks for your response!! It is a good life anywhere you go

Welcome for sure .. and I'm beginning to wonder if we have the what for

to make it good everywhere. I've been evaluating my position here in

Turkey for some time .. and am slowly coming to the conclusion that I

need to get my American butt out of here. Many good reasons for this.

 

> My hubby HATES Athens and the village people are the BOMB…. as my kids

> would say…LOL!!

 

Easy enough to understand. If I owned a home in Hell and in Athens,

Istanbul, New York City or any other major city of the world, I'd rent

out those homes and live in Hell. ;-p

 

I was raised in the Philadelphia, Wilmington.

 

I taught ROTC at Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University)

at 32d & Lancaster from 1967-1969. And I can say that I didn't detect

any of the " Brotherly Love " .. that is, unless we refer to those weird

cats hanging around Rittenhouse Square. ;-p But the little bars or

what some called Lunch Pubs in Philly .. they are special. A beer or

two with a Roast Beef sandwich, hot pickles and such. Mighty fine.

 

And I lived just outside Wilmington (Delaware) in Claymont. Took the

old Schukill (Sure Kill) Expressway daily for a while then decided it

was quicker to walk the 30 plus miles than drive in that parking lot.

Then I started using Penn Central trains .. which stopped every 3-4

miles for a little town .. and we had to wear old clothes on Penn

Central cause it was a funky railroad .. and later change when we got to

work. Now its out of business I hear.

 

> South Jersey area

 

Only time I ever had a car stolen .. a dude from South Joisey took it

from Market Street in Philly and wound up hurting a buncha folks in NJ

when he ran a red light (drunk) and piled into them. ;-p

 

> and he grew up in Daffnee, Greece but went to school and worked in

> Thessaloniki, Greece.

 

That was your salvation. ;-p Better than Philly, Wilmington and South

Joisey. I like Thessaloniki .. been there often. Lots of history.

 

> We are both very conditioned to city life but have moved to the

Good decision methinks.

 

> My oldest will be having a child soon and he has moved to the

> mountains…go figure!?

 

Smart young lady I reckon.

 

> Have you ever been to the Eastern Shore of MD?

 

Yes'm .. many, many times. Used to crab and fish the Cheseapeake and

fish the Eastern Shore.

 

> You have to sacrifice travel time to get what you need here…that's

Right on .. and thanks much. Might do that. Another member of this

list, Sevi Kay, has recently moved into that area.

 

Speaking of pizza .. my son is an IBM Systems Engineer and travels quite

a bit. Got a post from him last night .. said:

Wrote him back that I wouldn't say I wouldn't eat it cause I like

shashimi .. but I reckon I wouldn't order it. ;-p

Yep .. and this here ol' kuntry boy done give it some heavy cogitating.

 

> Got a question Butch……..do you produce or distribute Rose wax?

 

Haven't before cause we always threw it away. ;-p This year is the

Year Of Rose Wax. I figger somebody done wrote something on it cause

all of a sudden this useless byproduct is in heavy demand. For them

that don't know .. there are two processes for extracting Rose Oil. One

is the hydrosdistillation used to produce Rose Otto. The other is the

process of using solvents to produce Rose Concrete .. then from that

product they go further and produce Rose Absolute. What is left over is

the Rose Wax.

 

But .. Friday morning I head for the Rose Fields of Isparta .. and this

year I'll make sure they don't throw it away. ;-p

 

> I love your Hydrosol!!

 

Thankee m'am .. we sold over 3 METRIC TONS this year .. 8 and 16 oz and

a gallon at a time mostly .. and a few 50 gallon drums here and there.

And I am OUT OF STOCK now. But the new harvest and distillation is

going down now so I'll have more in MD by late July.

 

> I would love to see some wax come out of those fine roses.

 

This year we will make sure to save you some .. instead of tossing it in

the garbage under bones, food scraps, egg shells and other such. ;-)

 

> Ching Ching $$$$. I'll bet there is a line behind me already…

> let me know I would really like some good rose wax. When will this

> harvest be ready?

 

All is answered above. But fact is Rose Wax will not be a real money

making proposition for me. I'll carry it to make folks smile .. same as

I do with the Rose Petal Jam and Cotton Robes. They are good Public

Relations items and now that we have moved to UP TOWN Friendsville, on

Main Street, population 600 .. we even got folks walking into the store

from the street cause they see the handcrafted copper and other goodies

in the windows. Most are tourists .. white-water rafters.

 

> BTW…have you ever heard of a tea by the name of Flamorie'?

 

Pulled this out I did .. I'll answer with a different post.

 

> Ok…Enough for today……

 

Enjoyed it .. y'all keep smiling. :-)

Me too .. even in Greece they call it Turkish Coffee. Its strong .. but

I really love it and even though the Greeks and Turks drink it is small

demitasse cups .. I use a big mug to make it. Gets your eyes open in a

heartbeat cause its not leached coffee .. the ground particles of coffee

are suspended in the water. But milk .. I'd only use it if I were about

to die from hunger. ;-p
