| Not a single blessed bottle of lamp oil in Jacksonille - rant
Ok - I spent 4 hours driving to every store I can think of in search of lamp oil for my 16 year old hurricane lamp (that I completely forgot I even had till half way through Frances).
I just need ONE bottle!!! Not a single bottle to be found in the county limits (or at least thats how it feels). The woman at one Home Depot told me to burn CITRONELLA oil in it -- ok - that oil that smells like strong lemons and leaves a coating over everything it touches??? INSIDE my house???? GRR. No, I don't think so.
In Texas they had "hurricane lamp oil" in clear bottles, sold it at walmart - here they just look at you funny....
Ok - now I am going to try to find it on the internet (can they ship that stuff??).
Rant over.     |

Here's a link to buy liquid paraffin that might work for you: http://www.lehmans.com/shopping/prod...;iProductID=74
I just called Lehman's store at 888.438.5346 and was told that they have something called Klean Heat in stock at the store that they can ship to you (it's a gallon jug for around $15), the website is showing it on backorder, but the store does have it and CAN SHIP it to you!
Good luck...you are still in our prayers!!!    | |

"The Girlfriends" were out shopping today in Leesburg, VA, at the outlets, and at the Crate and Barrel Store were bottles of lamp oil. I'm thinking "great, I'll get you a few and mail them, they were on clearance, $.99 each. Then I read "Combustible". Ooops, can't mail those! Probably can't fly with them either. Sorry! | |

LOL, I have some out here in California, land o' no hurricanes. Should I send it via "Hail Mary" pass??
Looks like Ivan is going elsewhere, so you won't really need it anyway (thank goodness)! | |
