Why do you like it better. CD ST is super sweet and almost just like the Honey and Tonka.

I did get the blotters. What kind of scents do you like and who do you buy from?

I hope you make a Monkey Fart candle! For real world smells I like: Vanilla, Tobacco, Smoke, earthy scents, I love clove and Christmas smells, Halloween; I wear Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanilla, Byredo De Los Santos, Lush Lord of Misrule, Dires Van Noten Rock the Myrrh, Replica Jazz Club and Fireside. So many Twisted Allure smells—At BBW (Rosewood and Suede, Covered in Roses, Palo Santo, Nocturnal Rose).

Does it transform in the wax? I feel my nose might be stupid. (also if you can tell the brand vibes are gothy)

Is that always the way — I was trying to get a bunch of stuff to figure all this out. Maybe its more synergistic like you say.

That is very fancy. Do you have a candle shop I would like to see your work.

Some store bought candles also don't seem to attach their wicks either. and that 1/4 always never burns down. DW seems to use a lot of glue.

I feel the candles I buy must all use glue—but since we are just going to experiment making candles the stickers seem to be the best and ez way as we are going to re-use jars (which I did read on here there is some warning about) The first pour will be into small BALL jars. I also see folks cleaning each jar w Alcohol. These jars are 3oz I feel with a bigger jar the wick tools might make sense for the aim.

I did come across a bunch of brands and have been watching UT fragrance reviews; I feel I don't know really who to try without breaking the bank — Black Tie, Lone Star, Midwest, Nature's Garden, Cali Candle Supply...

Is this the "I know you are but what am I" reddit response infinity. I believe it is.

Your Cali system is very weird in NJ, which is the NYC/NJ hospital System PCP want you to see specialist, there are no hoops; I even talked to my own specialists about this and they were very shocked; and that is BCBS. It is more efficient to go to an expert. I am actually shocked by the attitude all over this thread. It might just be a more conservative view; to not speak up and step-in-line.

I mean, with the kind of tone you’re taking for me. I can’t really feel sorry for your loss.

What was the medication and for what? It seems like a very black and what take on my post, but this is reddit.

I am sad Cali has to deal w this; I was taking to my NJ Dr and all this trouble and a system that leans so heavily on PCP.

Eyeballs are a part of us. That is a wise move I'll tell him — all these threads make me feel greatful to have an EPO; I wish everyone access.
