The landlord was outside, and she said she'd lit candles in the main part of the house, then went down into the basement, leaving the candles unattended, and that was what caused the fire.

We'll freshen up the paint and wax the terrazzo floors, but you're not getting a kitchen, new carpet and the nines. 

A candle is not diminished by giving another candle light...Once again, many thanks for taking the time and sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Toilets aren't worth it, because they are like $100 new and the effort to remove the toilet from the wax ring without breaking it and then cleaning off the wax ring to get a good seal when reinstalled just isn't worth the effort.

Lots of struggles, and burning both ends of the candle, but it all worked out.

Like when you buy a property at a tax sale and the former owner no longer owns it and refuses to leave, but he is also no one's tenant technically so he cannot be evicted, you have to file for ejection, which is a whole 'nother ball of wax, etc...Owner financed can be a great way to get a fixer while bypassing the headaches of conventional loans.

Physics-wise, you get the heat of burning a candle in the room, no matter what nonsense you do to it.

On my periodic inspections I sometimes see candles set up decoratively inside the firebox and stockings hung by the chimney with care.

These being social references not political, but politics follow social demands.It was the beginning of "the great society", racial equality, expansion of health care, equal opportunity, voting rights, all during the reduction of nuclear threats and cold wars.That night, candles were placed in windows in East and West Berlin in honor of JFK, humanity overcame differences. :)
