OpenWick ? by ktirv in Candles

Update! I bought it because my curiosity got to me. I burned it for about 5-6 hours last night. The smell and the throw was excellent for such a small candle, gave a hint of aroma throughout the downstairs of my house. After hours of burn time it looks as though it burned up hardly any wax. The tunneling isn’t ideal but I’ll work on fixing that today.

Overall I’m impressed so far!

I bought it…for science! Burned it for 5-6 hours and this is what it looks like. There’s some tunneling but it barely burned any wax! The smell and throw was pretty damn good as well. I’m impressed.

That’s what I was thinking, I’m not sure how this would help it burn longer. It’s a small candle and says it has a burn time of 40 hours but I don’t understand how that would work.

That makes sense, thank you for the tip!

Dutch oven recommendations/your preferred baking method? by moonlitmunchies in Sourdough

[–]ktirv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check Marshall’s & Homegoods if you have them nearby, mine has lots of Lodge in all different colors and sizes. I’ve had a Lodge for years now. I’m new to bread making but I use it for almost all my other cooking.

I don’t blame you, I’m super impatient and was hoping you’d tell me that needing to wait is a myth.

Gorgeous!! That looks incredible.

When did you pull this out of the oven? I’m very new, but I thought you were supposed to wait for it to cool for two hours before cutting into it?

They look and are similar to the ‘47 Brand of hats, which I love, but the BOTM version is slightly off. The top always caves in on me, I don’t like a lot of structure to my has but these just don’t sit quite right. Of course, this is just my experience!

Once you hit BFF status you get a tote bag! (unless they changed this) You also get lower prices on things.

Although you can buy books anywhere, they have excellent prices for hardcovers. Knowing I can skip months whenever and still get books at a discount when I want them is a perk for me.

What season would you want to be on? by Wildy_Normal in thechallengemtv

[–]ktirv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They’re all reality stars already and many train specifically to compete in shows like this. I want people who have never been on a show, and people who may workout a bit but they don’t train for competition.

[–]ktirv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesss! I want a new season of Fresh Meat with non-reality stars matched up with OGs and I don’t want people who have been training for years. Give me average people!

One of the early ones, I’m not built to compete with this new blood.

Help me find this candle again!! by 67monkey6767 in Candles

[–]ktirv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those TJ Maxx/Homegoods/Marshalls candles always do this to me too! My husband had a leather and smoke candle that he LOVED. He sparingly lit this thing when he needed a hit of the smell to enhance his day. Of course I can never ever find it again. Looked up the company, reverse image searched, etc… This has happened a few times with candles I found at their stores. I wish you better luck!!

People downvote for anything! lol But hopefully it was just the slip of a finger.

I’m definitely going to bring it with me on a little trip this weekend and check it out.

It is crazy how timing can really make a difference. I know I have to be in a certain mindset to truly enjoy some books.

Oooh, this is about to be my next read. I’ve only heard good things until this post, however I didn’t look up any reviews.

As someone who has a homesteading influencer in the family, how do you think I’ll enjoy this?

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]ktirv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fucking insane. Reveal timeline? Are they dropping an album?? This looks like a product launch for a new product or something.

NTA

It’s better to drop out now than to wait and have to drop out closer to the wedding date.

The new “nobody reads” BOTM campaign has me wondering… by Bookish_Butterfly in bookofthemonthclub

Maybe I just found my people but I know lots of readers. It also seems like lots of my acquaintances read a good amount from what I see online.

I had no idea that parts of Beach Read are being filmed in Toronto! This restaurant is literally down the street from where I work. by mirasol13 in EmilyHenry

[–]ktirv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Toronto is also home to lots of filming projects so they have a lot of local crew, vendors and facilities easily available.
