FaithfulScenter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Mine was just shipped today. I think I'll get it Saturday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nothing is on its' way to me! I committed (stupid idea) to get nothing more until I complete my wax test and settle on a wax blend. I am buried in scented wax filled oval cups!What are you girls getting??? I can live vicariously through you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I didn't order any new scents, because I, like you want to settle on a wax blend with the scents I already love before I start clogging myself up with new ones. Now that was the original plan, but then I get an email today from the sweet Lyschel at Candle Cocoon, she included a sample of White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle with my order... soooooooo!!!! But I ordered some cd and cdn wicks, flutter dyes, a sample of both of CC's paraffin waxes, and some vybar 103. And from one of my ebay sellers I ordered some 4625 and Vybar 260. This is my first time working with vybar, so I'm really excited to see what the results are going to be. I'm hoping this settles the great debate!!!ETA: I am by no means complaining about free samples!!!! I love samples, especially when they are as good as White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle sounds!!!!

Guest OldGlory Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 A few FOs from Lonestar will be delivered today, to include the long awaited gumdrops FO called Sleighbells (sp). I hope my client will like it - Lonestar offers a drum, 25 lbs, and that makes the price especially nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I am waiting for a whole bunch of wax, wicks and scents. Ican't wait to start playing when they get here. If they get here. I hate waiting. I wish there was a candle supplier here by me so I could just go and pick them up LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Dolphin- I have a supplier about 25 minutes from me, but they don't carry what I want, and that makes waiting on packages even worse!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin146 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yup Faithful that stinks when they don't have what you want or need LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm about an hour from Candles and Supplies, but to be honest I think their prices are a bit high then with taxes. It's actually cheaper for me to buy from other places with shipping. Plus waiting for the UPS guy is much more fun LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to mention, though, for the record, that my UPS guy provides great service, but he and all of his other male co-workers are NOT my type.

FaithfulScenter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Exactly Angie, even if I did like the wax that my local supplier sells, it's way more expensive than ordering online. I wish my UPS man was nice. Well 1 is nice, the other not so much! He throws stuff on my porch and leaves it, and he's so hateful! He was complaining about the weight of a case of wax and my son told him I made candles, he said "Well you can tell her Candles don't make me happy"!!

angielyn Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I usually never deal with my UPS guys. Either they leave it on my porch or hubby goes out and gets it lol If that were my UPS guy and he'd say that candles don't make him happy I'd tell him 1 of 2 things. 1. His attitude don't make me happy so we're even. or 2. Apparently he's in the wrong line of work since he's complaining to his customers. That would really irritate me to no end lol Not that it takes much to yank my chain I really like a lot of C&S's FO's. But, can't justify the cost + taxes. And now days with the price of gas and my car is a major gas guzzler lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was complaining about the weight of a case of wax and my son told him I made candles, he said "Well you can tell her Candles don't make me happy"!!I'd call "Brown" Corporate!I have many packages shipped here. I even get a wave or two when one of my drivers passes me by while driving. I have one guy who waves like crazy and honks his horn! They are really nice guys up/over (?) here. So is Mitch, my USPS guy! Fed-X is fine too!I went camping with my wife and in-laws one time in WV. My truck broke down and two guys who were out hunting ginseng stopped by and offerred to help. I was in trouble. I was on top of a mountain, in a primative site. I was "packing' you know what, I guess! I shoved my hand in my pocket when these two "locals" came out of the woods. I pushed the safety off! I really expected the worst, but;Not only did they make a two hour round trip to buy a part for my truck, the following day they returned and installed it. They brought tools from home. When I asked what I owed them, one of them gave me the parts store receipt. I paid it and asked how much was my "service" charge. They refused to take even a dollar. They were quite happy, though, when I gave them two new (spare) fishing rod & reels. You might have thought I gave them a small fortune. They waved like mad as they faded back into the woods. I have often wondered if they were actually angels.I love the folks who live in the "Almost Heaven" state. My step-daughter and family live in an upscale part of the state near Martinsburg, but the people, I've met up there are nice too!Your driver must be an imigrant from NJ or somewhere else!

FaithfulScenter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Well I'm sure he wouldn't have said it to me, but he said it to my son, so he said "If you can't carry it I'll come get it off the truck for you"! I'm planning a trip to Connies Candles to have a little sniff fest of their FO's, and maybe get some wax. My sister lives in OH, and we are planning a girls day half way between my house and hers, and Connies is on the way. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be going.ETA: EP, it is the greatest place to live!!! I moved here in 1996 from Indiana, where I was born and raised, and I've been here ever since. It is my home!! Everyone here "packs" lol and yes, I do believe the one driver comes from NJ or somewhere rude lol The other driver is actually my sons Football coaches brother. He went to school with my husband, and he's always sweet as pie!! Edited January 29, 2013 by FaithfulScenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilyspoppy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) LOL (yep I laugh cause I'm half hour from NJ & Step son lives there haha)I have worked in that state twice. Once for Howard Johnson's Restaurant chain ("Your Host of The Highways") and then for the Rustler Steak House chain. Both are now "deceased" as I knew them.I actually accepted a job lay-off because I refused to move to NJ when Sizzler Steak House chain bought out Rustler and offerred to upgrade my company car and entirely pay for the move and increase my salary. I was at that time supervising seven stores in the the tiny state of sales-tax free Delaware. I had a great and very nicely priced rental house in Dover. The NJ move would mean that I would have over 20 restaurants to oversee in the most heavily populated state in the U.S.A. "America's Garden State" my great aunt's fanny! They said they would arrange to have a realtor(s) help with a house search. They wanted me to supervise all of the Rustler managers and their operations in the state of NJ. I asked the "big boss" if he was on cocaine! (Crack was still pretty new then, I guess!)Six months later (I knew a week after being laid off that I had the job.) I moved to Southern Maryland for a better job and quality of life. A VERY good move. I did sell records in Cowtown and Berlin NJ though. I was earning about $1000 a week on top of my UE. I did actually look for a job. Was it my fault nobody was willing to hire me at $100,000.00 per annum with a 10 year contract to seal the deal?I do like the Casinos in AC, though! Love them slots! Bally's is my favorite.A real "Boardwalk Empire"! Cape May is nice too, if you can afford the cost of spending a few hours there! The ferry ride is cool too!(Hateful NJ member's posts to follow) Edited January 29, 2013 by emilyspoppy Typo as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My father and his family are all from NJ and most live there yet. Near AC as a matter of fact. I on the other hand have never lived in NJ. I did however live in Lewes, DE and many times would go visit the ferry and can see Cape May from there. But, our boardwalk of the summer is a visit to my husbands family in Rehoboth Beach. We only go to NJ for the Casinos lol And now living in the Pocono's about 3 miles from Mt Airy casino we have no need to go to AC anymore. I'm hoping this year to get down for the Pony Run at Assateague Island. I just LOVE the ponies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I grew up in PA! Delaware County, Chadds Ford.I'm a fan of all of the places you wrote about, except the Mt. Airy Casino. Is it a native American casino? It's unknown to me. We have a new Casino in Perryville, Md. (Cecil County) My DW's and my famiily live 15 minutes from there. My oldest brother, though, lives in Wellsboro, PA.I'm sorry I'm writing so much. It's my nature. I have been compared to a member named "dustpuppy" whoever that is. I didn't find the reference personally complimentary. I'm trying to get my style tuned down to "short and sweet".

angielyn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 LOLMy husband was born in Chester Mt Airy is up in the Pocono's, don't think it's Native... I actually had to google lol It opened in 2007. It's a nice Casino. I've only been there twice though. Casino's just aren't my thing. I rather spend my money on wax and fo's while hubby spends his at the Casino. He's a much better gambler then I am. He wins I lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My DW and are the same on slots. She is always asking how much do you have left. Can I cash out your ticket and split it with you. I know Chester well. My first cub scout gathering in the late 1950's was in the Pocono Mountains. It was lovely there then. Is it still famous for it's fancy summer resourts?

angielyn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My hubby plays craps and he's pretty good at it. On the rare occasion that I do go I just stand and watch him play lol But you two sound like me They have a weekly slot tournament and Black Jack up here. You get to play with their money. So far hubby has come close 3 times on the black jack but hasn't won yet. He finds it fun and gets him out of my hair Yep, still very famous for the resorts. But now also lots of Honeymoon resorts. Big one is Cove Haven with the champagne glass tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Your home territory sounds nice. I hope you have a power generator, though.I played "BJ" a lot in college. I was usually way ahead "when the dealin' was done".The one and only time I ever played "BJ" at a Casino was a $5 min table in Ceaser's, AC. The dealer had braces on her teeth!After about 15 minutes of play time, I prayed to God that if he let me win enough times to recover my losses at the table I would NEVER play "BJ" in a casino again. I had two double downs in a row, two hands with 5 cards under 21 and two straight "Black Jacks" to end the session for me on that table. I left with exactly the same amount as I started with. I have never played any table game in a real casino again. Hey a Promise to God is one I plan to keep! Besides I hear that in NJ, God wears a pin-stripe suit and has a few tough angels that he has on the payroll! Poor NJ. It's actually a very quaint state. (NOT!)I'd take my wife to bathe in a champagne glass tub, but I know her too well. The bubbles would scare me. Edited January 30, 2013 by emilyspoppy I thought of another stupid thing to say.
