Ive since lightened up, been enlightened reading this board. Anything I try on myself first, id likely share with my mom.That particular story has an ending full of relief. I talked with her about sourcing, reconstituting, and filtering, and she went "oh shit, it's actually a whole new skill set and sort of a new hobby. You know what, I love you and I appreciate this, but I think I'm not in a place where I want to fuck around with any rabbit holes; I don't need better skin that badly."
If and when she changes her mind (she's a little over a year into widowhood and is in an 'I don't do anything that comes with labor or complications, I just wake up, have a nice, peaceful, calm little day, go to bed and repeat" place), it'll be with the understanding that this is a thing with a learning curve.
We tend to grow and learn every day...
