She's just got these tiny petite hands. But I could be over exaggerating since I've got spider hands. Seriously huge fingerspread.

I'd say my hands are pretty average. My fiancé has pretty long, narrow fingers though...

Actually just cleaned out the room and tossed out 5 dead candles, all in glass jars and either had too much dust and feathers for them to be safe to burn again or they were down to the nubbins.
Like I said, he likes to burn candles. XD

I hate when it gets to the bottom and you can't burn the rest of the wax out.

Happens to us all the time! Mostly our fault because we forget about them, or it's the jar's fault for not being a cool enough jar to save. These ones look like some boiling water will save them when it's down to nubbins.

Sometimes I save the jars as well. It's a lot of work to get the wax out of them though...

Boiling water is the way, as Long says. Melts the wax and makes the clean up process a whole lot easier. Unless, of course, the water makes the glass crack. ><

I've tried boiling water but it always seems to leave a bit of residue...

A day or two usually.

Freezing them usually allows the candle to be plucked out more easily.

I'm not sure that would work for the type of candle I usually use.

I wondered if maybe because the top of the jar is usually smaller than the bottom if you would have a hard time getting it out.

It will loosen up, then you just break the hard peices, they'll become brittle.
