Well, I bought the lighter, it's pretty cool actually. I know that one of the Lamps was lit and one was not, I tried lighting the one that was out, but I can't really tell if it's burning or not. Maybe I'll go try and round up a sighted neighbor this evening and get them to have a look. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, I never knew about these lighters. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gallik Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 1:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Gas lamp problem There's two possibilities that come immediately to mind:
1) Would Fireplace Matches help the situation? These are essentially 12 inch kitchen matches with the wooden matchstick. They can be purchased at any hardware store that sells fireplace supplies or possibly -- well, likely -- on the internet. 2) A charcoal lighter (a special lighter, not the fluid) can be bought at any place where you buy charcoal and barbecue supplies. This is essentially a very long Bic lighter although I can't say if Bic is the actual manufacturer. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:wfgallik%40centurytel.net> .net - "A cult is a religion with no political power." - Tom Wolfe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
