For over 30 years I ALWAYS kept a fire extinguisher next to the stove. A couple years ago my toaster oven caught fire, but no prob cause I had the extinguisher. I immediately got another one, and about three weeks later my microwave caught fire, so used the new extinguisher. That day bought another one for my kitchen and three more for my friends. Everything has been ok for a while now, but the extinguishers are a great investment. Rather replace the toaster oven and the microwave than the whole kitchen. (I never claimed to know how to cook).
Patticlan, ur rite! U juss neber noe.
A fren had an oven fire and put it out with teh extinguisher. I got her a noo one that is awl white, and streemlined frum Home Depot fur $25 cheezburgers. It actually luks nice in teh kitchen.
*sigh*
I still habs teh wed won.

and I got a tongue lashing (well deserved) from mommeh.
I libs rite outside teh Warshington DC. On that Very Bad Day in 2001, all teh local firemans responded to teh huge fire at teh Pentagon. On teh noos that nite they showed a heap of donated fuds, watters and stuff at one of teh stations for teh firemans who was working so hard. Then they showed a huge box of MilkBones someone gived for teh reskew dogs and that was all it took to unleash all teh tears I had built up all day.
.
A week or so later I had to take one of mah kittehs to teh vet, who is just a mile up teh road from teh Pentagon. They sed they treated a lot of teh reskew dogs there, mostly for cut or burned pawpads. Made me sad and proud at teh same time.
.
Yay firemans! Yay reskew dogs!
