Something Interesting About Me:
I am 45, will be married 23 years in January, and expecting our first child January!!! Yeah!!
I and my wife are very commited Christians who believe in Jesus with everything that we are. We also believe in the workings and gifts of the Holy Spirit. (Our expected son is a miracle child that the LORD had promised us beforehand, Praise HIS NAME!!!)

I had two Lava Lamps in the '70s. One got broke (don't move them hot, especially with the cord dragging) The other I got curious about and started playing with the goo. The empty glass does not hold your interest too long.
My wife and I bought a brand new lamp in 1991, white base yellow/yellow.
Since 2004 I have bought many lamps, sold a few when we moved out of California to Oklahoma (some I wish I hadn't) and bought a few more.
Right now, I have eight lamps on display, and five or six packed away (I might use a few for projects, now that I have been inspired here).
(November 2008
Where I Live:
Southern Oklahoma, USA
My First Lava Lamp was:
1974!
Century Red-Yellow

    Thanks for the greeting. I do not yet own a lava lamp, but I remember thinking they were cool when I first saw them in the mid-1960's (I'm 55 yrs old). I thought that a website devoted to such things just had to be explored!

    I had been using a level 1/4 tsp per six ounces of purified water. But recently I upped the SLS a bit to a slightly heaping 1/4 tsp. I then use this mixture in the same amount that MT recommends for their surf which is 10 ml per quart...or there about.
  • Christian BayLee

    Really? But the wax is no good.. Do u know something I dont :P I'm in south Florida.
  • VOXul

    AWESOME suggestion for Santa, Keith! You da man!

    Hi Keith!  My daughter will be 7 in December!  Parenting is quite the adventure, huh!?  I see your still lava lamping!  I took a break for a while and now am back and obsessed as ever.  Don't know why these lamps make me so happy!  How is your family doing?  We are good-I have a 4 year old as well so they keep me busy!  Nice to hear from you!

  • VOXul

    I kept seeing your profile pic, small, thinking it might be RJ MacReady from The Thing, haha! GO JOE!
