Yankee Candles, lost lighters and blood

Recommended Posts

Odd combination I know but, heres the story, they typos will be worse then normal since I am now sitting with a coffee filter wrapped around my pointer finger trying to type....

Let me create the setting, a day devoted to house cleaning and pwing...As I look for a lighter to light my gardina yankee candle I realize it does not exist....HOWEVER I have a pyrex square pan , and a stove. I lay the candle in the pyrex pan and proceed to post whore between laundry.... as I am in the middle of pming my offer of marriage to GFD I hear a loud POP and WHOOSH....

My pyrex pan shattered and the stove caught on fire, tried with my might to blow the small flame out.... realizing I should shut the stove off it kinda went out on its own as I did that.... so here we have candles, shattered glass and its all over the place seeping into the stove.... GREAT...so I get back to PWing as it was hot still and I have to work soon....

Went to go take a picture of the carnage, and realized that thats like 6 bucks in candle stuck to those glass pieces and I can salvage some.... so as I am scraping the candle bits out of the broken glass I slice the top of my finger.... it wont stop bleeding... Im running out of coffee filters... and it burns.... gardina candle oil hurts when it is in a wound.... :(

merely a flesh wound!!

and I didn't get the thing about the stove until the picture. I have to give it to you for creativity.

You do know that sphaghetti(sp) will catch fire and can be used for a temporary match. It smells like crap though.

Im blaming it on the Bon-fire... I was post whoring so thats why it happened , not because my creative solution to my lighter problem was wreckless

Now ya tell me, you are liable for my damaged finger since you did not tell me a better solution to my issue :P

lmao edit to add, the one where it is bleeding was before I even attempted to know how bad it was, I ran and got my phone.... Im a dork... the other was taken after I took a few mins to wrap it in the coffee filters

$6 in candle wax or $1500 in ER bills? Bad bad girl!

Just clean it up and superglue it. Then wrap it. Oh and hold it up over your head to stop the bleeding.



Totally agree. Superglue works well. I speak from experience - a close encounter with a garlic knife! B|

okay so anyone have solutions on how to get the candle wax out from below the burner lol



Yes, lift the element and take out the black pan. The rest you can figure out.

Good luck!

Next time read the writing on the bottom of your Pryex. It says "NOT FOR STOVETOP USAGE" or "NO RANGETOP" on it. :S



It really doesn't matter. My mother called me the other night asking me if I wanted Glass Chicken with them. When I asked her what she was talking about, she said that her Pyrex casserole dish exploded in the oven leaving chicken parts and glass everywhere. Needless to say, they went out for dinner that night. :S

Take the burner pan out, put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, it scrapes out really easy.

When wax is frozen , it will pop off anything that it is stuck to...for example...do you have left over wax in a votive holder? If so...place said votive holder in freezer upside down and it will pop out in about 10 mins or you can very gently pry it out with a non sharp object after about 10 mins in the freezer...works with all candle holders not just votive, votive was used as an example...I am done here.:)

That's CRAP! My mother-in-law told me that b/c I really like this big oval-shaped glass the candle came in and wanted to save it as a flower vase. I froze it, and the wax would NOT come out. So I stuck a steak knife down in there and went to work. I flicked the steak knife out on accident and cut my finger!

Now, WHY would you want poor Lisamarie to cut another finger, sickie?:S

;)

Iz OK.

My wrists look suicidal right now[:/]

Last week I was taking a wine glass down from the wine glass rack/holder thing and it slipped right out of my butterfingers, landed on the countertop and somehow pieces of it shattered up into both wrists:S But alas, any crazy will tell you, they were not cut the right way for proper suicidal attempt. (THANK GOODNESS!) I had to pull a piece out of my right wrist, then (with my hunny's help) ran them under water, poured hydrogen peroxide over it, and ace-bandaged the shit out of them, and had to hold them up over my head for an entire 30 minutes!!!>:(

I was late for my dinner date and did not have time (after my hunny and I cleaned up my mess) to actually have a glass of wine.

Now THAT'S some crap:P
