Kathleen, My "stoned" candle holder?? Only a child of the 60s would come up with that as casually as you did! Frou, The red pot is an enameled pot. Just what kind of metal is under the enamel is a mystery to me, but it's not cast iron. The pot's much too light for that. It's a Dansk product and the line of pots and lasagna dishes were very popular when I got married in 1970 (or at least they were very popular on the West Coast). The lid can be used as a trivet when the pot is fresh out of the oven. Karen, glad you like our table and the use of our candlesticks. Taper candles will look fine when you use both of your candlesticks together. But if you're just not a taper person, then this is an easy way to go. I've still got mine on display at the end of my peninsula in the kitchen and the tulip glass doesn't show any signs of loosening. I didn't use very much glue either, as I didn't know if I was going to like it or not. I'm thinking it may even be able to take a larger chimney if I use that GE stuff you've recommended. That might be too permanent for me though, as I can see myself wanting to use a taper once in a while. Thanks so much for sending it to me. I LOVE IT!

This thread is getting very slow to load, so I'll start a continuation of it. Please let this thread lapse. Hope you don't mind dandyrandlou. Part 2: https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/5724528/can-we-start-a-new-chain-reaction-game-part-2

Back in the days when Spike owned GardenWeb and tightly controlled it, posts could reach a maximum of 100 replies and then it was automatically closed and a new post would have to be started if someone wanted to continue the discussion. After Houzz bought it from Spike, they increased the maximum number of posts (although I cannot recall whether they upped it to 200 or 250), and now it seems there is no upper limit at all. As I type this, there are 12,802 comments posted to the "Let's start a Chain Reaction Game! Get some activity going here" thread. In my opinion, that's just too many. I would like to see Houzz implement some sort of control -- limit the number of responses to a reasonable number. Don't remove old threads, but don't allow revival of a thread if it's over a certain age (two years, perhaps). A new thread would have to be started but it could link to the older thread if folks wanted to see the old stuff.
