Six Pack to Go

This is an excerpt of the Marii Chernev print we have in our living room. I have yet to find this on the internet so I’m posting the cool part here.

Six Pack to Go - partial

Note the tail flash, etc. Obviously a great unit’s planes. Those planes belonged to the 171 AS of the 127th AG. I have no idea what AS and AG mean in this instance, but I do know that the 127th is located at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan, just two to three hours east of the classier half of the lower peninsula. (In case you wondered.)

Whoa!

I almost forgot about my NaBloPoMo post for the day.  That was close!

I don’t think there’s anything in the rules about it having to have a point or be interesting.

test

I just lost a post that was there a minute ago.

Okay, now everything looks right.  Weird!  I am thankful that I have not lost the entire blog.  I should’ve taken notice when Lyn’s blog went down the cyber toilet and taken steps to prevent massive post lost, then I wouldn’t have had that heart attack last night.  Thankfully, I have been given a second chance and have acted on that!

As you were.

Works For Me Wednesday - The Nicklebee Edition

It is the weirdest thing.  This post and the “Test” post are not showing up and I cannot get here from the Rocks in My Dryer website, but somehow people are able to see it to comment.  What is going on??  Whatever the case, I have saved all posts to my computer before more fall off! If someone would be so kind as to tell me how you got here, I’d appreciate it.  I cannot even see this post from my dashboard.  

Do you have glass votive candle holders that would look nice if only you could clean off all that old wax? For the harder to reach areas or for larger chunks of wax that are either stuck to the bottom or won’t fit through the opening, I have found that placing the holder into a pan of hot water - without getting the inside wet - on the stove with the burner on med. helps loosen the wax enough to remove it. Wipe the remaining wax off with a dish cloth that is hot and soapy.

Caution: You don’t want the water to boil, and you don’t want all of the wax to melt, you simply want the hardened wax to come loose and, if it’s an issue, you want larger chunks to fit through the opening of the holder. Hot melted wax clings to fingers! Be very careful! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I wish I had taken pictures of how disgusting my candle holders looked before I cleaned them. All this time I thought they were frosted glass!

That’s what Works for Me. To see what works for others, visit Rocks in My Dryer

The Migraine Prodrome

I already did my obligatory NaBloPoMo post for today but I have something else to say.

My sister had a period of about a month where she had a headache. She was miserable! She went to the ER a couple of times, had a spinal tap once, an MRI, a CT and saw a neurologist. After the spinal tap made her headache MUCH worse, she also had a blood patch. Continue reading ‘The Migraine Prodrome’
