Lampe Berger........oil lamp and more

How? ->They gouge you.

I was paying $300 a month for health insurance a couple of years, and haven't been to the doctor aside from checkups in over 7 years. :mad:

 

I take care of TONS of people in the ER that never pay a dime....and should be. Real abuse of the system since they dont pay...

 

Oh yeah, sorry......I read your post wrong. I agree with you

Isaac is the one I should have quoted.

Now how do I get free healthcare?

 

Sign me up too...We pay well over $300 a month for ours.....Very glad we have it though..

Couple of years ago, I got a stomach ache..few hours later I was buckled over and wrenching in pain.

Turned out I had to be rushed to the hospital as my appendix was pretty close to rupturing..They got it out alright, but I think the costs exceeded $10K, it came on out of the blue and made me very happy I had insurance and only paid $150 out of pocket.

Funny thing is, 8 months prior to my appendix going south my wife had the same thing happen to her.....Must be all the green chile we eat

We now have 3 small matching scars

 

Oh, back on track...glad to hear everyones Lampe Bergers are working well...That Piney scent sounds good Rick :drool

 

Hiya kids,
Just wanted to mention I received my two Lampes today. One's the same model as Rick and Kens, only this is for a purple lover. The other's the 'Ottoman' style, which I'll include a pic of here.
Hehe, they're nicely wrapped in the boxes and I hate to disturb the packing since both are gifts. I'm gonna just wait to see em opened on Christmas..........maybe. I do want to make sure they're in good shape, so I'll eventually use that reason to finally open em up and take a look. It's my 'healthy curiosity' that will kick in eventually.
For many years I'd find nice paperweights to buy my (ex) wife on special occasions. I continued on with that tradition for a while with my daughter as well, but she never really got into it as much as her mom did.There's some real works of art that look especially beautiful with lighted stands to really show em off. Come to think of it, some of these lampes would also look great on a lighted stand of some kind.
Anyway, I'm just saying that there's so many great looking models to choose from, even if only mostly being used as decorative pieces. Purty little things.

Gotta say I will never try to make my own. I actually follow the directions mostly.. and it tells me not to. :rofl

Plus I can buy the oils fine..

 

I agree with MoM.
The 'earl is pricey but my concern in making my own would be not having the correct type of oil9s) and somehow mucking up the wick, thus rendering the lampe: worthless.

Keep us posted on your oil JoA:
Maybe a future item in the store ???

 

Hi All,
Funniest thing happened just recently. A tobacco store near my house has started to carry the lamps and assorted scents. The fragrance samples (about 20 of em) are in small perfume bottles that have a roll on dispenser.....so you can get a better feel for what they will actually smell like. They have maybe 12-15 different lamps as well. I really liked the 'Winterwood' for having a nice sandalwood like fragrance. It's great being able to sniff before buying, as y'all might imagine.
JoAnna? I've heard that the older style wicks are better for burning non Lampe Berge oils. They are supposed to be more forgiving, from what one distributor had told me. Something to keep in mind. Yeah...... it's a pretty good toy.

Wow.. you are using it a LOT! No wonder you are going through Oil so much.

I use it once a day for 2 minute burn and 40 minute infusion. Any more than that and the whole place would be overwhelmed!

 

You might find that once you have been using it for awhile you may not need it as often. I know when I bought mine it did a lot of de-ordourizing along with scent producing, but after a good week of solid using the more frequent uses were not needed.
