In my relic room I have some display cases (like you see in jewelry stores or the jewelry dept. at Wal-Mart) on the floor in front of the cases I have my artillery shells lined up along the floor, along the length of the cases. My wife put her grandma's heirloom glass candle stick holders on 1 of the cases, why I do not know. Well I just knocked it off and it fell directly on the nose of a 3.8 inch James bolt. When she gets home tonight I will be the latest casualty. Just like the reb I am, killed by a Yankee shell.

I think the offending James bolt should be banished from your house, before it breaks anything else. Please send it my way (WV) and I'll take care of it. ;)

LOL, not sure you will want it after she finds out. It probably will have copious amounts of my DNA attached to it. She IS a red head.  :'(

She is PISSED, but I am still alive.

Nobody asked about the shell. Is it ok after the collision with the candle holder?

 hate to tell you this, but she is probably grinding up ' heirloom' glass to go with the heirloom tomato sauce inspired meals she's fixin'.             Does she just sit across from you at the table and stare at you with beadey eyes and watch you eat ??
