    I really was not wanting to rehash this boring story.  I picked up a candle that was inside my oven that caught fire because I left it in there too long.  I just wanted the wax to melt and loosen so I could use the glass container.

    When I saw it was on fire, I panicked, picked up a towel and proceeded to remove the container filled with molten fire.

    Then it came to my attention 3000 degrees and 2 seconds later, that the towel was damp and the water was making the heat hit my hand.

    As I was running towards the sink (right behind me) the container spilled over as I was pouring it out in the sink and spilled all over my hand.  Burning wax that was not coming off fast.

    OUCH.

    I could not really use my hand much for 2 weeks but that damage could have lasted a lot longer.  I went to a very good burn center.

    I only brought it up, because I saw this picture and I wanted to use it.  You can't save the movers on here anymore.   I don't know how.

    Wowza. You are lucky the damage wasn't worse. As my grandfather used to say, "you're a real I love Lucy."

    I cannot tell you how much that does not warm my heart.
    I hate that personna.

    I even do not like the real person.   She threw hot coffee in the face of a stewardess on a flight, because it wasn't hot enough.   And my "then" boyfriend's sister was on the flight.  I don't care for Lucy.

    Plus she wasn't funny.  Plus she was a total ditz.

    I am none of those.  I just cannot deal with that comparison.  I may have to kill you now.  It is interesting that both these tales are tales of burning though.  Irony?  I think not.

    I'm pretty sure I can mend that. I am a good tailor as well as massager.

    I was filling my car up in a petrol station/garage......I was smoking and petrol splashed all over my forarm......it instantly caught alight and as luck had it a police vehicle was on the next pump.......the see what happened and kind of instantly put me out with a fire extinquisher and safety blanket.......

    I then got arrested ,but not because of the stupid thing I did .....it was because I had been brandishing a Firearm about in public without a licence ........      ;)p

    Why?

    What the hell business do you have owning one of those?  STOP it.

    Donate it to an orphanage so they can sell it for money, or else rob some grocery store and give the orphanage some money, then throw it in the Thames or whatever river you guys got over there.

    When a young child, I slid down a tall slide backwards with both arms and hands above my head.
    I landed on the hard-as-hard ground.
    I ended up having broken my collar bone.

    :)

    WOW.  I am surprised.  The fact that your hands were over your head should have buffered the impact.

    Ouch.
