LONG STORY WORTH THE READ
For too long?
Well today I was out washing the Maxima and was angry that my WWs were not drying the car rather just pushing the water around. Then I thought of a post that I read here a few times saying if you towels lost their absorbency that you could boil them for a little bit in water on the stove. So I thought, what the heck I will give it a try.
I go inside grab 3 or 4 WWs, two pakshaks and one Megs I believe. I filled the pot with water and dropped the towels in and kicked the stove up to high. I can hear our new puppy whining upstairs so I run up to get him. One thing leads to another and I am responding to eMails and my puppy is curled up on my neck. I get sleepy....About Im guessing 45 minutes later our lab Molly starts barking. I smell something funny and I think to myself, did I leave a pizza in the oven? Then as if someone opened a door to create a vacuum the 3rd floor fills with smoke. I grab the puppy and run downstairs to find the entire main floor engulfed in smoke. I get both dogs outside then I run up to grab our 6 guinea pigs out of their cage and get them out. I get them in a laundry basket and as I am heading downstairs I inhale deeply the smoke and it knocked me out. I tumble down the stairs and smack my head on the wall. Guinea pigs scatter everywhere. I must have only been out a few seconds because I got up gather the girls up again and went out through the garage.
I catch my breath cover my face and head back into the house to find the WWs on fire in the pot. I move the pot off the burner and the flame goes out. I run around turning all the ceiling fans on and opening the windows. Again, inhaling this aweful smoke. I get outside and call 911 to let them know everything is ok if they got any reports. All of a sudden, I cant find Molly. To try and make this part of the short Molly freaked and took off. We found her two hours later wandering around in the townhome complex behind ours.
Our house freaking smells so bad still. We had 2nd row tickets to see comedian Jim Gaffigan tonight so we just got back and it still smells horrible, but not as bad in here. I hope it goes away in the next 5 weeks because my brother owns the place and he is going to be pissed.
Moral of the story, dont turn your back on anything on the burner much less fall a sleep.
My lungs and roof of my mouth still hurt and my chest is sore.
