NWI INGO General Post Part 20 - Raccons 4 Life!

[actaeon277]

Wow. I slept for 8 hours (!) and there are no posts here? Slackers.

Morning, everyone.

Wow Snap. congrats.
I know you usually don't get 8 in a row

 

[actaeon277]

Believe me, it's rare. I don't actually remember the last time it happened. I'm usually somewhere between 4 and 5 hours. If it makes you feel any better, I woke up with a hell of a backache.

Remember when you were young. and hurt because something actually had to happen to you?
And now., sleeping hurts

 

[actaeon277]

self clean is fine.
if you use it all the time and DONT have accumulated stuff

Now you get to purchase a range that you control from your smart phone so next time that happens you can get alerted via text then choose to text the fire department or not

Or so someone can hack it and make it blow up

Thanks. I woke up once and the dogs and I all went to the bathroom. Went right back to sleep, which I don't usually do.

Yeah, and if you let things accumulate a little, make sure it's a time of the year that you can open windows.

The wheel and fire probably fit in there somewhere

Heck no, Act invented fire and I invented the helical plane wrapped around a shaft.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and expose my stupidity. Also a warning for everyone:

Self-Cleaning Ovens - Don't do it!

Happened Saturday. We'd been getting a little smoke from an overflow of turkey juice from cooking the turkey on Thursday. Wife told me she's gonna self-clean. A little red flag popped into my head when she said it, but I got distracted and forgot about it ... till the smoke alarm went off upstairs. I was downstairs.

By the time I get upstairs, there's flame in the oven, with noxious fumes boiling out of it - house full of black smoke. Turn oven off - Grab fire extinguisher - can't open oven door! It's locked for your safety. Man handle door enough to get extinguisher nozzle in, and it puts it out.

When I was fighting to get the door open, smoke was getting thick enough that I almost had to call it quits and dial 911. I would have lost everything if it had escaped the oven, which maybe it can't, but I was pretty much in panic mode.

Bottom line, don't self-clean oven after 20 years of accumulated **** is in it. I knew better, but didn't listen to my own instinct.

So does this mean no NWI INGO Turkey dinner for us?

Taking us all the the Chinese buffet is going be expensive for you.

 

[Snapdragon]

Oh God, not the Chinese Buffet. Never again. I have gotten a really bad stomach ache the last two times I ate Chinese-- once at a buffet and once takeout. I think I am developing a sensitivity to MSG.

 

[tv1217]

Tom I really didn't need to know about you wrapping things around shafts

 

[jedi]

Oh God, not the Chinese Buffet. Never again. I have gotten a really bad stomach ache the last two times I ate Chinese-- once at a buffet and once takeout. I think I am developing a sensitivity to MSG.

You HAVE to come. It's about the family experience not what you eat.

 

[actaeon277]

it's a screw

Well, if the family wants to experience me puking, that's fine.

Well, duh. I knew you would know, Denny.

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

Only if it's consensual; otherwise it's prison style.

About 10 years ago, my wife tried a new turkey recipe on Thanksgiving. As directed, she coated the bird in olive oil but apparently it was the wrong kind or too much or both. It began to splatter in the oven and then smoked like crazy when it hit the interior surfaces. It set off the smoke detector linked to the security system and the Fire Department ended up at our front door. Took us an hour to clear the smoke from the house with the windows open on a nice chilly day.

With my first wife, when the smoke detector went off, dinner was ready…

Is anyone traveling to the Indy area any time soon? If so, and you don't mind meeting someone and playing mule for me, please let me know.

^^^ THIS ^^^

Of course Act is a BOOMER so nobody will listen to his sage advice
