YAY!!! New story...wow you're a pyro, LOL go figure.
I almost burnt my deck down once. I was 'fixing' a candle..really just playing with the wax and all. I ran upstairs to pee and looked out the window to find the whole candle and cermanic holder in flames ontop of the deck railing. I ran down stairs and it took me several times running between the kitchen and the deck pouring water on the candle to get it to go out.
Wow glad that you & yours were not collectively burnt to a crisp.
jose's mom has these amazing candles. so while one was lit the other day i was trying to imprint my ring on the inside soft wax. i got it but while trying to remove it it jumped into the fire and started to smoke amd i almost ruined her $170 candles.
