I have a pretty glass which was given to me with a scented wax candle in it and I'd like to clean the dregs out and save the glass.
Different methods I've tried haven't been terribly satisfying.
What do you do?

A pain, but I set the holder in water that I've boiled, melt the wax and then pour it out, zny left behind I wipe away with an extra-aborbant paper towel and then wash it in soap and water.

Young?
I'm finally old enough to get to stay up as late as I want.
What were you doing up so early Ms. Smarty-pants? As if I couldn't guess.
Still haven't got this insomnia resolved and hope soon to have more answers. Unflortunately I don't do any cleaning. Just sit here wide-awake. Have a rx to put me to sleep but don't care to take it so---------
I have tried the offered ideas and it's that final cleaning out that is probablematic. Guess I need more patience.

I know what you mean, anja. It's the final scrub that rubs the wrong way.
Could you ignore it?
Works for me sometimes.

Wax! Are we talking about wax? W-A-X... wax???
What ever happened to talking about SEX?
I can hear the WAX talk now... I'm sorry honey, not tonight, I have a terrible case of wax build up. Maybe you can take care of things by yourself.

Since I have had this nasty cold and cough, I'm finding Nyquil to be quite a delightful sleeping aid. Perhaps it will also work for wax.

Hi Sissy!  How about some wax lips? Mike We'd melt those and be in each other's mouths before the Prissy Twoshoe Squad could raise an eyebrow. How about some delicious boob cookies instead?  (I just love pissing off the PTS.) |

If we do, they sure are laying low. Don't kid yourselves, my dear friends. The PTSers are everywhere: cookie-cutter, dime-a-dozen, straight-A gettin', misanthropic good girls. Wherever there's fun, they're like flies buzzing around a tallow truck. But you can't swat'm. So I just like to piss'm off. |

For two days, I have been searching for some pics I took in Brussels a few years ago that I just knew Brutus would love to get his teeth into.
I finally found the one pic I was looking for amongst dozens of unpublished pics of inside Windsor Castle during the restoration after the fire in 1992 and the day before it re-opened!
As you may very well know, Belgium is famous for it's chocolate and I declare it to be the best in the world. But this (if I can find out how to mount a picture here) will render Brutus speechless.
But, every attempt I have made to post this pic on here has been unsuccessful. Can someone tell me how to please?

I have shared the pic I wanted to post here for the delectation of all, but I have sent it as an attachment to those of you whose e-mail addresses I have.
But even then, it loses something in the timing.

I, too, have been unsuccessful in adding photos/images here. A fact to which I very sadly succumb.

you mean I'm not the only failure? Trade you my pix experience (which really happened with the help of Thomas) with your link expertise (notice I didn't ask for instructions. Agh! I just need to somehow magically be able to DO it. [Watch it, ~B~])
