Boogie - that is why I like this Forum so much -- I look forward to visiting with my waxie "neighbors" here and hearing their thoughts and wishes and opinions every day. It is almost as good as a visit with a friend in person. Do you want a second cup of coffee?

My husband said it is getting so bad at our house that the scents are burning his eyes. I can't even hardley smell the scents I'm so used to them, but everyone that walks in our store or house says it is way to strong! ........and I can't smell a thing.

I guess we get used to them, and want them stronger.

Stronger :shock: Yes it is our addicted noses that are desensitized after awhile. I have discussed this phenomena with my tart pal Slpit. Day after day I think it does take stronger to smell it. I can have something going and it smell strong initially and a few hours later I am not getting much but then if I leave for awhile and come back..BAM :shock: it is all in my face strong again. Kinda sucks that our noses can play tricks on us. Just a little fresh air sometimes or a walk outside and then back inside does the trick to jar my senses into working agian. I also have kids and hubby who think I am trying to scent the whole neighborhood it smells so strong to them (as I am dumping more into the melters [smilie=th_12E9EC16] I also try changing out certain kinds of scents. Too much vanilla for days on end and I can't smell same with lemon etc. I get hung up on my favs then realize I am not getting the kick so switch it abit. Sadly the more mature and sophisticated your sniffer becomes the more complex the scent needs to be it seems [smilie=th_BringItOn] All I know is I love good smelling stuff. Most people think I smell like a walking candle anyway as it gets in all my clothes it seems [smilie=th_a194] My poor son..not good to go to high school smelling all sweet & fruity :oops: He constantly says..is their anyway you can just melt masculine stuff.... [smilie=th_oops_] [smilie=th_myspacepunked_sign0009] I just tell him he will have a wife one day who I will introduce to my scentaholic ways and he can tell his pals at school I just bake alot [smilie=th_f5a39fcb]

fleur and debra--have you been reading my emails and my mind? I got two notices this week and I couldn't think what or where I had ordered. It's nice to know I am not alone. [smilie=th_e3301ae2]

I LOVE this thread.

You know you're addicted to candles when the UPS driver asks you seriously if you are opening a store somewhere.

or when I consider leaving a note of explanation for DH in one of my candle stockpiles just in case I get hit by a bus.

I totally get rid of the boxes as soon as possible. Sometimes cutting them up.

And oh yeah, I've got my 10 yr old talking candle pools, wick trimming, and scent throw.

You know you're addicted when:

You bring a tart cup to work, eagerly sharing it with everyone's sniffer while raving madly about how great it is, even though you're being greeted with blank but polite faces.

Then, you notice a co-worker has a gooseneck lamp on her desk putting out some good heat, so you bend the neck of the lamp down, put the tart cup under and wait...

Sure enough, everyone comes back from lunch raving about how good it smells and wants to know who brought the goodies. Of course, they don't love you for answering that it's your Texas Scentsations Iced Lemon Biscotti tart and that there are NO goodies.

Again, blank but polite stares... but a few start asking questions. :lol:

I could envision the whole scene. LOL!
