ROFL!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'm so so sorry Kitty! I have been a little overwhelmed the last couple of days.

As a matter of fact, it's official today, I am now carrying coffees, teas and gourmet goodies with my sundries and soap biz. My first shipment arrived today. Now if I can just keep my fingers out of the coffee bin. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> They are sooooooo good!

Let me see if I can find you a really good and tough trivia question.

Today's Question:

What soap was advertised nationally in 1882 in a weekly newspaper and what was the name of the paper?

Good one, Cheryl!!

Ivory soap was advertised nationally in 1882, in the weekly newspaper, the Independent.

Thank you Kitty! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It doesn't appear that it was too hard for ya because you got it right. Hooray!

Today's Question:

In 1631 Charles I granted letters of patent to the Society of Soapmakers of Westminster. What did those letters of patent grant them and what did they get in return?

In 1632 Charles I granted letters patent to the Society of Soapmakers of Westminster, granting them a 14-year monopoly of the production of certain types of soap IN RETURN FOR payment of �4 per ton.

They promised to provide the Crown with 5,000 tons of soap annually - thus, they received a monopoly in exchange.

I may have gotten my dates mixed up.....1631 was the incorporation date for the Soapmakers of Westminster and 1632 was when Charles I granted the monolopy and patent by letters. Maybe... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Where did today's question go??? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I don't know... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I am feeling lightheaded and weak without trivia! Help! <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
