Our bathroom caught on fire one morning at 5am. I heard the light fixture fall from the ceiling and assumed Jon had accidently locked the dog in the bathroom when he came to bed. The heater thing in the ceiling had shorted out and was burning. One fire here was enough to last me a lifetime. It totally stresses me out when Im gone and hear the fire trucks. My poor dog runs and jumps in the bathtub if he hears the fire alarm lol. We got the fire out with the extinguisher but a few more minutes and it would have been to big. Fire extinguisher made a bigger mess than the fire.

janie- you get this good lookin', strappin' cop into an interogation room. I'll bring my handcuffs and my pink feather- and I PROMISE I'll get him to talk! Hee-Hee! winks- k.

I never said I was going to yell at them and I havent run into either of them yet. You made an assumption there. It may have been an accident on their part but it was a very careless accident. I do not step out for anything if a candle is burning in my apartment. If I burn one I make sure there is nothing near them and that my husband who is blind knows exactly where they are. Before I leave my apartment I double check that the stove and oven are off and even unplug a fan that I have in the bedroom. I do not go out and leave my washer or dryer running either. We always turn off both of our computers.
I do these things because I have consideration for my dog who is always here and my belongings. I also do not want to cost any of the other residents their pets or belongings because of my carelessness.
BOTH of the landlords here were very upset about the fire but then maybe they are just rude like me :rolleyes:

Oh and just so you know the same landlord who put out the fire gets plenty of baked goods from me. Just since this past summer I have given him loaves of fresh baked bread with jars of homemade jams and jellies. I have baked him apple pies and him and the ladies in his office love my peanut butter fudge. I have taken him AND the two guys on the end homemade ice cream.

lol That mental picture is going to haunt me.

yes picture that, and mrsjimmyp in her blankie, you running around with baked goodies. and I thought I had lived in some strange places? Oh, and Kevin has a cheese ball waiting. somebody stop me! where is Cathy?
