Sister..glad that you are ok! the fire should be covered under your renters insurance or else your land lord's policy...the main thing s that you are ok..get some rest.

Brandi..sorry that you are not feeling well..I am right there with ya! terrible head cold.
I am going to bed soon. get rested and hope you feel better soon!

I took three aspirin for my sore throat and feel better!

So I have not gone back to bed yet.

Colds always hit me with a sore throat first, then the head congestion sets in.

Hope your cold is as short-lived as my hubby's was. He worked through it and after 9 days is almost symptom free.

Get rest, cookie. You have been one busy lady lately!

Brandi, glad the sore throat is better. You need your rest. I would rather have chest congestion than head congestion. Hope it goes away quickly. My BFF husband has a really bad cold, but she took those Cold Eze or something like that when she got the symptoms and she is fine. He is still sick, she says he smells like a jar of Mentholatum

My next therapy before bed is a bunch of orange juice.

And to gargle with warm salt water.

Yuk. LOL

[joesamas mama]

Have a great evening monkeys!!! Sister so glad you are safe and no harm came to you.

Brandi I hope you feel better.

Love and hugs!!!!!!!!!

JSM and Patton.

[Sister]

Oh goodness Sister!  I am glad you were not hurt nor burned in the kitchen fire accident!  How scared you must have been??

I wonder if your homeowners insurance will cover the expense of the damage?  It is certainly worth a try to contact your insurance agent.

I sure hope the insurance covers the damage Caddy. Poor Sister. Fire has always scared me.

Fire has always scared me too.  Typical me, cool under stress . . . now I am falling apart.
Going to try again to get some rest as my head is pounding.

Love them all.  Thank you so much, Brandi!  I have been using the other ones around the forum.

Well I have had an eventful afternoon.  Sitting at the kitchen counter writing thank you notes and a taper candle in a candle stick exploded and caught the counter on fire.  Glass was flying, fire was leaping on Christmas cards, etc.  Tried at first to smother the fire, which did not work and then went for the water.  The counter top is ruined and it was just installed a few months ago.  It has scared the beegees out of me.  One thing I know, all four smoke detectors on this level work very well.  I know I am blessed the fire didn't land on me and I got it under control pretty fast.  The scarf, etc. was burned up as well.  But again, it could have been worse.  Not cheap candles so not sure what cause it to explode.  My nerves are shot and I'm going to bed.

I am so glad you kept your wits about you and are safe, sister!

Fire is a scary thing and can get out of control in a heartbeat!

I guess no good deed goes unpunished. LOL

You were sitting there writing your thank you notes. A wonderful thing to do that is becoming a dying breed.

We were compelled to write thank you notes as children. Had to have them mailed within two weeks.

So glad you did not get burned and that there was not more damage to the home!

Hope you like my silly demonstration above.

Thank you so much for your wonderful wishes.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

 

  I hope it was a great Christmas Bearly.  

Yes, it was.  

We were invited to breakfast with a friend, early dinner with my Parents with a visit from my brother, SIL, 2 nephews and niece afterward, dinner with my brother and his family, and late dinner with a neighbor.  This was after Christmas Eve at my brother's and then a neighbor who made lobster for Cubby for his Christmas present and roast and lasagna for me.

I loved a holiday that included family, friends, and neighbors!  Lots of love.

Does anyone know how to fix a computer where the typing goes wherever the cursor is pointing during my keyboarding?  It just randomly starts typing where the cursor is resting.  It has been so hard to post lately, I have mostly been reading, I have to correct so much.  It also will bring up whatever is on the bottom of the screen while I am keyboarding.  It is very frustrating.

If I didn't fix it, the above would look like this:

Wow how scary! Glad you were not hurt - the counter and scarf can be replaced but you can not!

Hope everyone is having a great after holiday season.

I am so sick and tired of seeing stories on the news about murder suicide. Why kill your kids, wife and family members then kill yourself? I just don't understand. Especially at Christmas.    So sad and horribly tragic.

Maybe the thought is, they can no longer take care of themselves and their families, and rather than watch their families hurting, they end their (what they presume to be) suffering.  When people are distraught, they are not thinking rationally.  We really do not know what is going on in their heads, but that would be my guess.  In reality, there are probably as many reasons as are people who have done this.

Something I learned in school was that people freeze to death within a very short distance of safety.  If people could hold on just a little bit more, take it one minute/hour/day at a time instead of thinking about everything at the same time, it will help.
 
The holiday season is a very stressful time for people.  I would even say everyone to some degree.  There is no picture perfect Christmas.  Add the cost of visiting, food, presents, gas, clothing, church.  Each year, the pressure seems to get higher. 

Our normal bills are higher, just for the necessities.  Like it or not, a phone, computer, TV, and cell phone are all necessities, especially if you have children or are a shut in.  I think one or more of those people exist in every household.  Then add to that the cost of food (which has gotten a lot higher), soap (for body, dishes, laundry, cleaning), clothing, gas, insurance, water, etc.  and health care costs.

Our social worker told me when I first started caring for a child with special needs the thought of doing something occurs to everyone at one time or another or even several times when there is so much stress.  Going through with it, however, was not normal.  The thought is normal, the deed is not. 

When she first told me that, it scared me, I did not have feelings as bad as she had when she had young kids, but I felt the frustration, and realized, the feelings were normal.  It helped so much, just to know I was feeling the same way others feel.

Hi Bearly,

I am not sure but here goes.  On the top of my page in the tool bar were the name of the site comes up I have a little box with two kind of looking arrows. If I click on it it says making this site compatible. But then I get a notice saying I have to go back as I can't post. But when I go back and and hit reply my screen has stopped jumping all over the place. I usually have to do it every few days especially if its a long post I am answering. Hope this helps.

Cute Brandi -- all is missing is me tossing the water (took several times) on the fire.  I'm sure it was a sight to behold!

How frightening for you Sister!  I'm so glad you were not burned.
I've never heard of a wax taper candle exxploding.  Have you considered notifying the manufacturer?  Thank goodness you were in the room when it happened or it could have been so much worse.
