Sorry but I did have a laugh while reading this post - can just imagine you running around like a chock with its head cut off in your dressing gown & towel on your head trying to find where the smoke was coming from - bet it was not funny at the time. So pleased you are ok oh have you replaced the rollers????<br /><br />Lyn xxxMy Pink & Cream Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638390385400066656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-90642050949316155712009-08-07T00:40:47.790-05:002009-08-07T00:40:47.790-05:00Holy smoke, Rebecca....how frightening!

I can't count the number of times that I've been grateful my iron has an automatic shut-off! YIKES! Years ago a local anchor talked about her washing machine catching on fire. I would never have thought that could happen...I guess you can never depend on anything with a plug to be entirely safe. I just bought a new flatiron that doesn't have auto-off like my last one. This will be a good reminder to be ever so careful!<br /><br />Blessings and grateful hugs,<br />Spencer{Bellamere Cottage}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17808685184476519297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-66220146473163118492009-08-06T21:15:08.449-05:002009-08-06T21:15:08.449-05:00Rebecca

There were several times that I would go into her room after she was gone to check. It use to make me so upset!

How lucky for you and Mollie that you were home - I'm so glad you two are ok. <br />Good motivation for me to make a plan and know where important stuff is to grab quickly. Here in earthquakeland I always go to bed with something to wear (especially a bra) right next to my bed. <br /><br />So glad it wasn't worse - that was scary enough.<br /><br />What next, Rebecca, what next? <br /><br />MarshaBeach House 27https://www.blogger.com/profile/12010094000921460318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-79042175728277284322009-08-05T19:09:58.963-05:002009-08-05T19:09:58.963-05:00Hi Rebecca!

Amy was denied hyperal today by the State of Oklahoma. Because she has been ill and lost her job, and has no insurance they will not pay for the hyperal to feed her to make her strong to prepare for her surgery on Monday. Now can you imagine that? Now they are God and they can decide if you do or do not need to be fed. Amy is down to 74 pounds, and they turned them down FLAT. Thank you Oklahoma. I will never forget this. Dr. Medina in Okla City was absolutely furious, so what the plan is: They are going to be in OKC Friday for a pep scan that Amy has to have. Dr. Medina is going to admit her to the hospital and feed her until Sunday night. Then I guess they will let her go from the hospital so she can check in to Presbytarian Monday morning. They are in the process of trying to get assistance from the Cancer Society for a place to stay in the city while Amy is going through surgery and recovery. Supposedly there is some hotel that the cancer society helps with by only charging the family $12.00 a night. I pray that comes through for them. So many things against them. Amy and Debbie have battled this whole process. I just had to write you and let you know the latest about the Great State of Oklahoma. When they were working they had taxes taken out of their checks and they pay taxes like everyone else, but yet she doesn't deserve to be fed. Imagine that? Talk to you soon honey.

I would hate to see if you did just call 911 and go out the door..all your beautiful things you have worked so hard to put together..wow..so glad you and your baby yorkie are safe. Hope you can get it all cleaned and the smell out.They have people around here that come in and do all that..special cleaners.. I have to tell you when I first looked at the picture of the hot curlers..I couldnt figure out what it was..I thought it was a tray of sushi...Yikes..Well I know how important the hot rollers are..they just put more fluff into the hair than curling irons.

If I didn't see any flames or see any fire, I would have checked it out. Years ago, the fan in my parents bathroom ceiling caught fire and I pulled a hose through the window and put it out! <br />I know it probably wasn't the safest thing, but it was easy to put out and my exit was in no danger of being blocked. We did call 911 and they checked everything out to make sure it hasn't spread to the roof or in the rafters. The fire stayed in the metal piping/flashing. We had a big water mess from the hose though. I think we are more apt to risk our own lives than have our loved ones risked. I'm glad everything turned out and there was a happy ending. The rollers weren't so lucky!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454925115428994669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-49834381776835761212009-08-05T10:36:39.680-05:002009-08-05T10:36:39.680-05:00Hi Rebecca...Rebecca here.

I recently had a curling iron overheat on me and I didn't realize it either and burnt my bangs...to frizz! Another feature is the fuses on the electrical outlet in your bathroom.
