goosebay_1999 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I just finished a repour on my pyramid pillar and poured votives with the left over. DH was in kitchen and spilled milk right into pour pot with the wax for the votive repours!!! Ruined a good batch of basil nectarine. I even had the perfect color going as well. I think he has to go!!!! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 How'd that happen? Funny, sometimes I'm sooo close to dumping water in the pot instead of in the boiling pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I personally think there should be some type of day camp we could ship them off to while we're busy working on this type of thing. Similar in concept to the "Mommy's Day Out" for the kids. My last batch of containers, my DH walks by and picks up one of the jars and tilts it to look on the bottom (don't ask me why) and melted wax went everywhere.

chris77 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 When my wife makes a mistake, I have to remind myself that I am not perfect either. I love her, mistakes and all. If she was perfect, she would be boring. I kinda like it that she close to perfect. Those little imperfections are what keeps it interesting and keeps me guessing. I know things can get frustrating...that's where mercy, grace and forgiveness comes in to play. What an amazing feeling when someone does something and you feel they deserve something for it, and you forgive them, smile about it, laugh, and tell them you love them. It's so freeing. You are blessed in the process and your love for that person grows in amazing ways!I know this thread was means of venting, however it gets frustrating when the world wants to do nothing but man/woman bash, husband/wife bash. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. If we give more of it, we are likely to receive more of it.That's my 2 cents anyway. Sorry your repour wax got ruined. I think I'd just remelt the first pours and make as many votives as possible with the good wax you have. Could be worse, he could've ruined the original before your first poured.It's like they say, "Don't cry over spilled milk!"Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc26 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Forget selling him to the circus! Round up a bunch of his buddies (if you can tollerate it) and start your own! Make money off of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Oh, Chris, I don't think it was really meant as a vent...goosebay even laughed LOL. You are right about respect for each other, so maybe she could just send him to the circus instead of selling him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a harmless way of humorous venting between friends who understand. It's not as if she has him tied to a chair and we are all yelling at him.

sharyl55 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'd send him to the woodshed for a time out. If I sent him to the circus he wouldn't be around to change light bulbs for me. But Chris is right. We have had a round of spouse bashing lately. When mine gets on my last nerve I just ask him if there aren't fish biting someplace and shouldn't he go out and try to catch one.

chris77 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Call me a Jesus freak I guess. He's changed my perspective. If you take a time out and listen to people you'll find that whether at school, at the store, and even at church you'll hear people bash and put down their spouse. That behavior is like a disease. It will corrupt a marriage relationship. I think it's one thing to vent, we all need to. I just think we should be careful not to cross the line of healthy venting into the realm of belittlement, putting down, and criticizing ones being. Look upon each other with love and you'll find that the things that once ate you up that you needed to vent about, all of the sudden don't matter and you can laugh at it instead. Life is too short. I love my wife. I want to build her up not only to herself, but to other's as well. She is awesome....and everyone knows it! I will not speak a harsh word about my wife. I'm to love her as Christ love the church. He died for it. He did not belittle it.That's my standpoint. I'm very passionate about the marriage covenant and the purity that needs to indwell within in. I wish all would experience what I have and continue to experience. To live a life of love.....it will change you!Today is Sunday...guess I'm in my preaching shoes!Have a blessed day everyone! Happy candle making!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy2preciouskids Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'm not trying to be a stinker and light anybody up. Just trying to shine the light on a different perspective.take care "ya'll" Chris, I agree with you. I had the hardest time for awhile realizing how much bashing goes on in the world, since it is daily and you are in it everywhere. As a Christian also, I totally agree with what you said. Respect is hard to find.I find that if I tell my DH what is going on, he either helps(however he can) or he stays out of the way so I can do my thing! Like Chris, I don't want to start anything....just wanted to let Chris & others know I do agree and also mention how I handle the situation.I know it can get frustrating!!! But remember you did have that GREAT batch!!! Love to hear what you decided to do with your batch!:smiley2:Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosebay_1999 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Well, the spilled milk in the wax yesterday was just a sign that something was very wrong with DH. He is a type 1 diabetic and his sugar was extremely high. He went and laid down after the milk incident on the bed and after about 10 mins I went in their to give him a hard time. He appeared to be ignoring me but that certainly was not the case. His sugar level was so high he became unresponsive. I had to call 911 and get him to the hospital. He is doing somewhat better today. I was just going to leave him alone since I thought he was ignoring me. If I would have left him alone he wouldn't be here today. It was a bumpy night last night because the doctors did not know if they were going to able to bring his sugar level down. Pretty stressed out especially with 3 kids 10, 4 & 2. Feel bad for venting now even thought it was in fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2 1/2 yr old autistic daughter, a 16 mth son, & a 7 wk old daughter....so I understand being stressed!!

daniedb Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Oh honey, I'm so sorry! Don't feel bad for venting, it's done and over, and even if you would do it differently next time, don't waste any time feeling bad. You need to channel all that energy into taking care of your household and yourself.I'll be praying for you and your family while your husband recuperates.
