I almost burnt down my house!

[Kain99]

God what an idiot! Had the George Forman on the top of the stove (thought I'd whip up some quick Ranch Burgers.

Next thing ya know POP POP POP! The George Forman is on fire.

If I hadn't been typing on the forums maybe I would have heard it sooner.

House is here, wall is slightly charred. My A$$ is grass.

Do you ever feel like life is just out to get ya?

Sounds like you need to get with some female friends and head to a spa for the day.
Glad to hear everything is safe. I always have this strange feeling of losing my house to a fire. Hope it never happens. Had an aunt lose her house to a fire, all because her grandson was playing with a lighter in the house.

Glad to hear the house is fine and you caught it before it was out of control. How did it catch fire, do you have any idea? I really thought they were relatively safe - and own one myself.

Yesterday must have been the day for fires! I had a piece of Texas Toast catch fire in the toaster oven last evening. I was out turning the pork chops on the grill and when I came in my 3 year old says, look Mommy, isn't it pretty!

Not a big deal, I opened it up and blew it right out and had her open the back door before the smoke alarm went off.

Feel better now Kain?

George Forman grills are safe..... unless you leave them on top of the stove on an already hot burner.

If we are being totally honest.... I am terrified of chairs with wheels.

What about those electric chairs that glide up the wall next to the stairway. Do those frighten you too?

Toaster ovens don't burn down houses, people do.

That is more common than you might think. It's a funny thing, but I have friends that were deathly afraid of clowns as children, and hate them with a passion now that they are older. And they can't explain it.
