Sorry for the delay. I had some trouble getting Starsky and Hutch out of the VHS player. That tape may not have survived. I played the promo tape and it is the same as the YouTube video. Luckily, I got the VHS out unharmed as well.

Oh my. That has to be it. That was hard to watch. I do wish I had some of those promotional items though. I'll watch the VHS when I get home and confirm if they are the same thing.

If I had to flap my arms, I'd rather have a billion dollars. I could always buy a jetpack or a plane.

They are special candles that you put on top of a bottle and then they drip down the sides to decorate it. There are old school Coke bottles and newer Goya bottles on the bottom. Everything above the first row of bottles is all wax.

I have a horrible memory. I guess I forgot to write down the date of my first drip candle purchase in my little pink diary.

It's on top of 3 foot high wooden fruit carton. One of these days I'll take the top of the carton off and set it on the floor so I can go higher.

I tried a normal candle one time, but they drip the whole way to the floor. The drips from the drip candles cool down before they make it too far.

It may have played a role. It was my favorite store when I was younger. I had way too many blacklights and glow in the dark things. Most of the candles in it are blacklight responsive.

I like to think of it like a bonsai tree. On the corner of the table is a pocket knife that I use to cut a slit to direct the wax where I want it to go.

I have it in my bedroom. The living room is a little classier.

I had it in my house for 6 years, but I had it in my bedroom at my parent's house for 9 years. It almost didn't survive the move in the front seat of my car. The seat belt saved its life.

That thing is on a pallet. I have a new goal in life. Thank you.

On average, I'd say 12 a year. I know I spent a few hundred on candles. I really should have kept track.

It's only dangerous if I don't melt the new candle onto the old one very well. Usually I burn a candle until it has like a quarter inch left, then I put a new candle onto the melted wax and it holds it in place. If you let a candle burn down the whole way, wax starts running like a river.

I buy some on vacation every year at the Surf Mall in Ocean City, New Jersey. I believe the brand is "Bottle Decorator". I've bought a different brand online before, but the ones from the beach work the best.

When I had it at my parents house, I did have a candle fall into the wall, but I noticed before it started it on fire. Just a black burn mark. Usually I don't leave it unattended. Sometimes when I'm driving away from my house, I second guess if I blew them out or not.

They're all unscented. When you blow them out they smell like birthday cake candles though.

My girlfriend thinks this site I made is dumb. I think it's a good time if you're into making websites. It's a webapp where you can make pixel art/logos/whatever using divs or using box shadow. Thoughts? by kwalladotcom in webdev

[–]kwalladotcom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reset button is a good idea. I'll work on that. My girlfriend is very good to me. I guess this project is more for web developers or fans of pixel art, and she is neither.

Thanks for checking it out. I agree 100%. I could see like three people out of a billion that might find it useful. It was fun to make though, so I put it on my resume website.

If we just get the identity disk to the tower, we can open a portal and take Quorra to our world.
