Well, you've read the notes, the notes were tiny and nutty, and now it is time for you to post until the teeny-tiny cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ESCULENT!

Good morning, all! Yesterday was quite a long day and my hurdle of a weekend is not yet over. The most tedious and time-comsuming is the booklet for the Herbert songs. I've found a few things already, but the most involved part is checking the layout of the German texts with the English versions andassuring that I missed nothing when I converted my files per the New World Records request. I've already found one spot and it looks like there may be several others. Oy.
I've also got Joshie's newest corrections to the DEAREST ENEMY vocal score, which have to be proofed along with the last four numbers in the score so he can begn the final round of work, which he's juggling between Encores! and a couple of other jobs, and at any time now I'm due for another orchestra score or two for the Rodgers & Hart show (seven full scores to go!). I plan to work my proverbial butt off this morning on the booklet, see at noon where things stand, and make a decision about attending the HHW meetup this afternoon. Work and play in New York, as a self-employed person, have always had their conflicts for me, which is why "Finishing the Hat" moved me so much when I saw the original workshop of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE:
Finishing the hat
How you have to finish the hat
How you watch the rest of the world
From a window
While you finish the hat
Mapping out a sky
What it feels like, planning a sky
How it feels when voices that come
Through the window go
Until they distance and die
That's my day, and that is the end of the news.

I just had a fire in my kitchen. In my preoccupied state I set an empty bag of chips on a low flame, went back to work and shortly smelled something burning. Luckily the fire involved only the counter, sink and stove. It could have been much worse, although now I need to make time and clean up the damned mess.

I hope I can get melted plastic off of the silverware!

Yikes! So scary---I'm just glad you are ok!

Good morning, DR Danise! I am fine, thanks, grateful that there wasn't a worse fire, and there could have been if the burning bag had fallen into the recyclable paper bin. Everything's cleaned up now, and I've discovered that Ajax scouring powder and a god brush will clean melted plastic off sharp knives. I'm also thoroughly pissed over my stupidity in not turning off the gas burner when I finished my coffee. That was the stupidest move so far this morning.

Maybe you wanted to subconsciously invite a fireman into your home DR ELMORE.

What time is it?
-
Maybe you wanted to subconsciously invite a fireman into your home DR ELMORE.
I'm surprised DR MBarnum hasn't used that ploy!
Since I call 911 at any hint of smoke in the air, the firemen have been here far too often! Remember in 2008, during the bed bug mess, when the bitch neighbor down the hall was so terrified that I was send bugs down to her apartment that she called the fire dept. to make me remove the cartons I was sending to Miami University Library from the hallway, and they came and issued me an order to remove the cartons within 24 hours or be fined? She's never called to complain about the slob across the hall who leaves stacks of cartons and newspapers outside his place for months!

Was reading the posts from yesterday--the idea about a smartphone for TCB. I have a spare LG Optimus model phone that I would be happy to give to you, TCB. It works with the Virgin Phone network. It's a pay as you go type of phone and I believe the cost is now $35.00 a month for unlimited internet/text and I think 300 anytime talk minutes. The reason I switched phones to the LG Optimus Slider was because it didn't have the slide out keyboard. I was having problems with using the on screen keyboard because of the arthritis in my hands. I don't know if that would be a problem for you.
If you think it would help, I would be more than happy to send it to you.

Ah yes, I remember that DR ELMORE......but I can't remember what I was doing at the time.

We all do "why did I DO that" things from time to time. I'm just glad you were not hurt. I saw something cute on Facebook the other day: I've learned so much from my mistakes that I'm thinking about making some more! :)

I have to say I LOVE my new phone and used it quite a bit while in NYC. It was such a help with the GPS and the maps. I used one app to mark the hotel location so no matter where I went, I just had to look at a map to figure out where I was and how to get back.
That was how I found MOOD as well. The only problem there was figuring out that you had to go inside the building and up to the 3rd floor. I kept passing by the spot the map showed but there was nothing on the outside to tell you MOOD was in the building.

Good morning, all.

Glad it was only a minor fire, Elmore.

On the subject of proofing:
Yesterday, while reading Stephen Citron's book about Sondheim and Lloyd Webber, I came across a photo from A Little Night Music of Desiree (Glynis Johns, her daughter (Judy Kahan) and her maid (Despo). The latter looks nothing like Hermione Gingold, yet the woman is identified in the caption as being Desiree's mother. The book makes some other deplorable mistakes, including writing about how "Every Day a Little Death" is composed in a variation of 3/4 time, when it is not. (My vocal score has it in 4/4 and Sondheim himself has spoken a great deal about how it is not one of the waltz variations.)
This morning, in the musical overview, "Strike Up the Band," author Scott Miller writes about "composer Noble Sissle" and his score for "Shuffle Along" before repeating a quote that was from the show's real composer, Eubie Blake. Sissle was lyricist.
Yet, hard as we try when we edit, mistakes will get past people.

Spent the day in Austin yesterday at SXSW. Rain, rain and more rain through the early part of the evening. But the food was really good and the music fine. Saw a group called Quiet Company that included cello, trombone and zylophone amid their hard rock sound. And the band was entirely dressed in suits. You couldn't understand a lyric because the sound mix was way off, but the sound was fun.
Next Saturday, the parties get kicked up a notch because it's the closing. Looking forward to Racheal Ray's, with Jimmy Cliff and Train among the performers. And maybe we'll get back to the Cooking Channel's shindig.

DR Elmore that sounds scary!

Did everybody who has to turn their clocks ahead?
I did most of mine last night. Plus the others change automatically.
-
Good morning from New York, New York!
-
First, thanks to all for the travel vibes yesterday. I got here without a hitch!
-
I had a great day yesterday!
I saw "Seminar," starring Alan Rickman, Jerry O'Connell and three other actors (including the guy who played Julia Louis-Dreyfus's brother on The New Adventures of Old Christine).
The acting was great and I mostly enjoyed it, but it's really not my kind of show, I guess.
-
I later saw "Once," which certainly lived up to DRs Ben and elmore's raves! I loved it---such talented people on stage. The two leads were perfect as was BK's friend Andy Taylor , who really fooled me with his Irish accent!
-
To top of my day, I was invited by BK to join him and his friend Walter at Joe Allen's after the show. I spotted them right away --they had a great view of the entrance. Walter was interesting and friendly and BK was as funny as ever.
Brent and Bernie joined us not long after. I do believe they were quite surprised to see me, but were gracious as always.
I really enjoyed myself and heard some discussion of Brent's possible participation in Outside the Box--I'm sure it will be hilarious!
Thanks again to BK for inviting me----it was so great of you!
-
I tried using the internet in my room ($14.95 for 24 hours) and it didn't work. Went to the lobby for the free wi-fi---didn't work. So I walked across the street to another hotel and voila, free internet! Shh--don't tell anyone I'm not registered here.
-
DR elmore-sorry to hear about the fire, but am glad it's not too bad a mess.
Hope to see you later!
-
Would have liked to have seen you too, vixmom!
-
I am afraid I definitely will not be able to be there today. I was trying to rearrange a couple of things but, sadly, I was unable to do so
I have a Women's Summit I have to attend from 1 -3 today
-
I hope all the mini HHW gathering goes well and that pictures are posted!
-
And the word of the day is: ESCULENT!
And The Song Of The Day Is: SUPPER TIME

Elmore, how terribly frightening! I am so glad you were able to put the fire out in time ! I hope that the clean up is not too onerous
-
One job is down: Joshie's vocal score proof is finished and ready to go back for final work.
I've been tied up with emails concerning Toyland, its inventory and evacuation, possibiities, probabilties, a new office space for the McGlinnventory, and other problems coming up this week. Oy!

The cleanup went very quickly, thanks to Ajax powder, a good scrub brush, Fantastic, and a lot of paper towels. I am a bit concerned that something burning might have fallen behind the stove and is waiting to burst into flame when I turn my back.
In August 1971, the building in Oxford OH next to my apartment burned and collapsed, killing a fireman. My building was closed so I spent 3-4 weeks driving from home to and from work with no possessions and the few clothes I was able to retrieve before the fire got out of control. In 1973, one of my brother's rooms in my parents' home burned up, due to his clutter and something left in the garbage (I've always assumed it was a joint he and his friend Kenny were smking). All of my property suffered smoke and water damage. I do worry about fires.

Thanks to DR KEVIN H for NYC report.

Very warm and sunny today so I've been out gardening.

TRAVELS VIBES FOR JOSE
-
Beautiful day here in New York, New York. Had a fun meeting with Kevin - I just had a small English muffin, so if I don't eat any bread later, that will be fine. I've also walked one mile so far and will walk at least two more before the evening is done. While I didn't get to bed until three, thanks to the time change, I slept really well - VERY comfy bed and for once a pillow in a hotel that's actually comfortable. I slept until ten, so seven good hours of sleep.
-
Kevin really wants to bring the Kritzerland shows to New York, so we're going to see how to go about doing that - what venue would work, and how, time-wise, I can make it work. We already have a year and a half's worth of shows built and ready.

Exciting news.

For TCB:

Biggest down-side on this phone - no flash for the camera (All your bedroom videos will need to be at full lighting conditions)

Yes that is the very phone I'm talking about. Thanks for the photo, Der B! It's in very good shape, about a year old but I never had any problems with it (except for the on screen keyboard). The phone I bought to replace it is the very same one except it has the slide out keyboard.
I would love to see it get used by a friend who needs it then sit in a drawer. I would appreciate the help with getting it changed over to TCB because I've never done that but I would guess I would just need to call Virgin and let them know that he is the new owner.
The only other thing I can think of is that you might want to go on Ebay and invest in a longer lasting battery. Going on the web eats power like you wouldn't believe. I just bought an extended battery for the new phone and it only cost me around eighteen bucks. It makes the back of the phone a little larger and you can't buy a snap on case but it is well worth it so you don't have to keep charging the phone as often.

The serendipity of foot-dragging – or how I got a Smart-Phone at no added cost)
Some 5 years ago, to appease my daughter’s attempts to drag me into the 21st Century, I bought a call phone. I opted for the cheapest deal I could find – a Virgin Mobile dumb-phone with a pay-ss-you-go plan. The basic cost was $20 every 90 days to keep the phone active; calls would be charged by the minute ($.50 every day I made a call, plus 20 cents/minute for each call. Daughter was, of course, appalled:- I would go broke paying by the minute).
Well, the reason I wanted the phone was to enjoy its “mobile feature”, so, I left it in the car, turned off, unless I was on the go.
I’m not a big “on the go” phone chatter, so I never once needed to add money; in fact, the unused dollars kept accumulating in my account
As time went on, I found the idea a better mobile phone desirable – my aging eyes and shaky fingers made using the phone’s old-fashion keypad entry awkward – and texting by numeric keypad is a night-mare (unless you’re teen-age enabled).
I wanted to keep my old plan and buy a new phone, but Lordy, what ever happened to the $20 cell! The cheapest phone available with a touch-screen for data entry was $90.
On a lark, I emailed Virgin and asked them if I could apply any of the balance of my account to purchasing a new phone; sure, was the reply, you can use you account to purchase anything on our web site.
Well, Mr. kept-his-mouth-shut for five years had accumulated an account balance pushing $400!!! All that money either for a shopping spree or texting contributions at $5/pop to Haitian Relief.
Charity begins at home.
I spent $280 for the best smart-phone available (A Motorola Triumph) and bought an up-grade for Woody for $90 – and still have money left. To make internet usage cost effective I did have to upgrade my plan to a $35/month version (which a great deal cheaper than most competitive services); that gets me unlimited 3G Internet and 300 minutes/month of vocal chit-chat.
I left Woody’s plan at the $20/90 day limit (he can get Internet by the minute, but it’s pricey) He can however receive text messages and reply with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
I am having fun learning the neat things I can do with my Smart Phone:
A. I have a text version of my Medication list available for Dr. Visits
B. I have the 1500 record Excel spreadsheet of all our DVD’s handy for viewing when shopping. (And I have a quick-link to IMDB to check on film details) (See Note 1)
C. I can send photos of merchandise from a store to my daughter to see if that’s the thing she wants.
D. I can check on restaurants and use a phone hot-link to make a call to check on daily specials or make reservations)
E. I can check on show times at Movie theatres and buy tickets ahead (at a premium).
F. I can amuse myself in the Dr’s waiting room reading the current news updates. (Or catch up on Haines His Way – see Note 2)
G. I can use Amazon to check on prices while out shopping.
Note 1. The Outlet Mall has a recent addition – an OOPS store that sells deeply discounted books, CDs, and DVDs (no Blue Ray yet DVDs are 3 for $15! Lots of Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, etc)
Our last DVD shopping binge was at Blockbusters whose close out sale included virtually everything, including Blue Rays, at $3.00 each!
Note 2: Haines His way is a bit clunky to use on a Mobile – even in landscape mode, easily readable type size throws most messages off screen. Plus, you need to expand the screen greatly to be able to touch-activate the page numbers to navigate. Someday maybe we’ll have a Mobile-friendly version that puts the left hand side avatar/stats window on top of the messages (at least puts the Users name in the message heading so you can move the screen to the right while scrolling down).

A: "GIFTING" YOUR OLD VIRGIN PHONE (http://virginmobileusa.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/934/kw/giving%20phone%20to%20a%20friend)
Earn free airtime after you swap your phone
If you've just gotten another Virgin Mobile phone for yourself, why not give your old Virgin Mobile phone to someone else?
Pass it on to a friend and they could get 60 minutes in bonus airtime when they reactivate your old phone and Top-Up for the first time.
Better than that, you could get a 60 minutes airtime bonus, too.
Just make sure to switch your phone number to a new Virgin Mobile phone before you give your old phone to anyone else.
B. On battery use.
Those of us who are mobi9lity-challenged have nifty work-arounds:
In the home environment have a AC-to-USB cord connector at the end of an extention cord by your arm chair/sofa and another by your bed; move your phone with its mini USb/USB cord attached.
In the on-the-go environment - have a 12VDV/USB charger in your car to hook up your phone.
Rearely are you going to out and about with your phone on draining the battery.
(Now if I were gadding about on day trips using mass transit I might have second thoughts on a bigger battery.)

-
I only use my Cell Phone if I have a flat tire.
Well, actually they come in quite handy if you're running late for an appoinment; a quick text is a lot easier than stopping at a gas station to make a phone call and a lot more polite than letting your host hanging.
der Brucer
Also, if you have relatives in a rural area that always fail to plan more than 20 minutes ahead, it's nice to text "Will be passing the Market in 10 minuts - need anything?" when driving up to a family get-together.
(It also helps to have a passanger to do the texting.)
-
LOL DR derBRUCER - you are assuming I am polite.
-
Sunday afternoon greetings! I survived the time change and actually slept better than I usually do on clock-changing nights. For the first time in several weeks, it was dark and cold when we left for Lima, but it was sunny and warm for the return.
-
I normally don't have battery problems but when I was getting all the phone calls/txts/emails from the AC show producer, my battery was barely making it though the whole day at work until I could get it home and on the charger. I expect the same will happen when things get going with Angies List so I thought a better battery might be a good investment.
I also love the new SkyVi app and the Advanced Task Killer Froyo. SkyVi makes the Android more like the Apple phone in that it can talk to you and you to it.

Good morning, DR Danise! I am fine, thanks, grateful that there wasn't a worse fire, and there could have been if the burning bag had fallen into the recyclable paper bin. Everything's cleaned up now, and I've discovered that Ajax scouring powder and a god brush will clean melted plastic off sharp knives. I'm also thoroughly pissed over my stupidity in not turning off the gas burner when I finished my coffee. That was the stupidest move so far this morning.
Is a god brush only good to use on Sunday?

Question for BK:
If memory serves, when you left Varese Sarabande you took your catalog to The Label Whose Name Can Not Be Spoken (TLWNCNBS).
With the demiise of the high-jacked TLWNCNBS, what happened to the catalog?
I ask becasue I was looking up the Cast Reording for PLAY ON and found no new producers (just off label sellers).

Or do I need to wait for the book?

DR Elmore - I don't remember the 1977 fire in your family's home, but understand why you're concerned to this day about fire. Just this past week, I singed a potholder on a stove burner. The really scary part is that the potholder was wrapped around my hand at the time :o
-
DR TCB - Richard had trouble with the on-screen keyboard on his iPhone, but has started using this stylus/pen combo (http://www.staples.com/Targus-2-In-1-Stylus/product_369693) and it's been a big help. If you end up taking DR Danise's phone, I will send you a stylus as a get-well gift!

On the subject of proofing:
Yesterday, while reading Stephen Citron's book about Sondheim and Lloyd Webber, I came across a photo from A Little Night Music of Desiree (Glynis Johns, her daughter (Judy Kahan) and her maid (Despo). The latter looks nothing like Hermione Gingold, yet the woman is identified in the caption as being Desiree's mother. The book makes some other deplorable mistakes, including writing about how "Every Day a Little Death" is composed in a variation of 3/4 time, when it is not. (My vocal score has it in 4/4 and Sondheim himself has spoken a great deal about how it is not one of the waltz variations.)
This morning, in the musical overview, "Strike Up the Band," author Scott Miller writes about "composer Noble Sissle" and his score for "Shuffle Along" before repeating a quote that was from the show's real composer, Eubie Blake. Sissle was lyricist.
Yet, hard as we try when we edit, mistakes will get past people.
The author probably asked Ms Johns on one of her drinking days who was in the picture with her.

(It also helps to have a passanger to do the texting.)
;D
I'm enjoying your phone stories. Gosh I've missed you.

Sunday afternoon greetings! I survived the time change and actually slept better than I usually do on clock-changing nights.
:)
I hope you still feel the same way tomorrow.

To top of my day, I was invited by BK to join him and his friend Walter at Joe Allen's after the show. I spotted them right away --they had a great view of the entrance. Walter was interesting and friendly and BK was as funny as ever.
Brent and Bernie joined us not long after. I do believe they were quite surprised to see me, but were gracious as always.
I really enjoyed myself and heard some discussion of Brent's possible participation in Outside the Box--I'm sure it will be hilarious!
Thanks again to BK for inviting me----it was so great of you!
Speaking of Brent, I was curious to know if Brent had any desire to return to Vegas to do POTO one more time before it closes.
-
I survived the time change ...
When you get older you'll come to resent the lost hour - I mean, who knows if we'll be around in Nov to get it back.

Well, there is that, DR der Brucer...
I suppose so. :-\ ;D
-
DR Elmore - I don't remember the 1977 fire in your family's home, but understand why you're concerned to this day about fire. Just this past week, I singed a potholder on a stove burner. The really scary part is that the potholder was wrapped around my hand at the time :o
Scary for sure. I'm glad you are ok.

I only use my Cell Phone if I have a flat tire.
And it is able to lift the car as well as a jack?

This morning I found little droppings of blood had been tracked through the house. I followed the trail & cleaned them up while Keith checked Sherlock out. Somehow Sherlock scraped the pad of his foot and is now wearing one of my socks to protect it. Keith looked on the deck & in the dog run & can't see what might have caused it.
-
Craig came home from playing basket ball, with teachers at the elementary school he works at, & wondered why Sherlock was wearing a sock. I noticed Craig was wearing his contacts instead of his glasses & asked if it was to protect his face from getting his glasses smashed into it. He responded, yes like today when I got elbowed in the nose. ::) He was a bit woozy at first but fortunately his nose wasn't broken. :)

Was reading the posts from yesterday--the idea about a smartphone for TCB. I have a spare LG Optimus model phone that I would be happy to give to you, TCB. It works with the Virgin Phone network. It's a pay as you go type of phone and I believe the cost is now $35.00 a month for unlimited internet/text and I think 300 anytime talk minutes. The reason I switched phones to the LG Optimus Slider was because it didn't have the slide out keyboard. I was having problems with using the on screen keyboard because of the arthritis in my hands. I don't know if that would be a problem for you.
If you think it would help, I would be more than happy to send it to you.
That is a very kind and generous offer, Danise. Let me check things out and I will get back to you. I definately need a keyboard that I can actually use.
No problem. I don't know about the pen/styles thing DR Ginny spoke of but it would be GREAT if that would help. :)

DR Ginny, the fire in my parents' home was in September of 1973; I didn't know you then.
I didb't go to the gathering; I lost time this morning because of the fire, and Iwas really leery about going out for a couple of hours in case a bit of burning something was smoldering outside my sight. It's better for my peace of mind to work here.
I finished all of the full scores that need editing and Josh's vocal score, so now I cn buckel down to the recording booklet.
-
Good morning, DR Danise! I am fine, thanks, grateful that there wasn't a worse fire, and there could have been if the burning bag had fallen into the recyclable paper bin. Everything's cleaned up now, and I've discovered that Ajax scouring powder and a god brush will clean melted plastic off sharp knives. I'm also thoroughly pissed over my stupidity in not turning off the gas burner when I finished my coffee. That was the stupidest move so far this morning.
Is a god brush only good to use on Sunday?
I suggest you find one to keep around the place before your surgery.

On the subject of proofing:
Yesterday, while reading Stephen Citron's book about Sondheim and Lloyd Webber, I came across a photo from A Little Night Music of Desiree (Glynis Johns, her daughter (Judy Kahan) and her maid (Despo). The latter looks nothing like Hermione Gingold, yet the woman is identified in the caption as being Desiree's mother. The book makes some other deplorable mistakes, including writing about how "Every Day a Little Death" is composed in a variation of 3/4 time, when it is not. (My vocal score has it in 4/4 and Sondheim himself has spoken a great deal about how it is not one of the waltz variations.)
This morning, in the musical overview, "Strike Up the Band," author Scott Miller writes about "composer Noble Sissle" and his score for "Shuffle Along" before repeating a quote that was from the show's real composer, Eubie Blake. Sissle was lyricist.
Yet, hard as we try when we edit, mistakes will get past people.
The author probably asked Ms Johns on one of her drinking days who was in the picture with her.
I had a couple of run ins with that author at the Drama Book Shop. He was married ro some lady who was more well-known than he. He was not the brightest bulb in the lamp.

Oh, I had just moved to Middletown. If you'd told me then that I'd still be here 38+ years later, I'd have told you NO WAY!
Hmm, where did I get 1977? Maybe I'm not as rested as I thought...

Now you can lay awake nights pondering the answer to the ultimste question "What should the Baby call you?"
Nana - nope, that's the Darling Dog

DR TCB - Richard had trouble with the on-screen keyboard on his iPhone, but has started using this stylus/pen combo (http://www.staples.com/Targus-2-In-1-Stylus/product_369693) and it's been a big help. If you end up taking DR Danise's phone, I will send you a stylus as a get-well gift!
Sorry, Ginny, I forgot to respond to your post. If I opt to use Danise's phone, I would be delighted to receive a stylus. Thank you. I feel like I am back in the early 90s all over again. In those days, my techmology score was a -5. Now I feel the same way about LG, androids, ipads, ibrows, think pads, and all the rest that I don't even know the names.

I really enjoyed myself and heard some discussion of Brent's possible participation in Outside the Box--I'm sure it will be hilarious!
Thanks again to BK for inviting me----it was so great of you!
Speaking of Brent, I was curious to know if Brent had any desire to return to Vegas to do POTO one more time before it closes.
or indeed to the lovely state of Washington to perform a private show

Please forgive my stupidity. So, the keyboard is on the screen?
No problem. Believe me I didn't really understand it either when I bought it which is why I want to make sure it is something that would help you. The keyboard is on the screen and you touch the letters to type. The problem I was having was that I don't always feel right in my hands with the arthritis and I would touch something harder then I wanted to and get double letters kk for example which can be a pain when you've already typed another sentence. I have to be 100% honest and tell you that I do use the slide out keyboard and I will never buy another phone without one.
Do you have a Best Buy or a Target near you that you could get to so you could look at the phone and ask questions?
-
DR Ginny I just saw an ad for a free mini kisses coin purse with the purchase of any Vera Bradley for $15 or more. I didn't know Vera Bradley sold anything near the small price of $15.
Not much, DR Jane. Some of the small accessories - ID cases, lanyards, coin purses - and some stationery items and homegoods are under $15.

I need to go to the store anyway so I'll check out what they have. I wish they made a better selection of fanny packs. I find wearing the purse around my waist is easier on my shoulders. The travel belt bag is pretty but I think it is too small.

Were you friends?
No. I never met him. But my business partner, Bonnie (the one who's off in New York now), did a lengthy and wonderful profile of him a few years back. Turns out he had pretty much turned over his restaurant to family in recent years to take care of his parents. His father died about a month ago. I feel really bad for his mother to have lost both husband and son in such a short period of time.
So, the reputation was of a good man who also happened to be a good restaurateur.
I don't mind those stories.

I don't care for the shape of the mini-hipster, plus it looks too small & the hipster looks too big. That is the problem with viewing online. Adjustable straps are a must for me.

I just had a fire in my kitchen. In my preoccupied state I set an empty bag of chips on a low flame, went back to work and shortly smelled something burning. Luckily the fire involved only the counter, sink and stove. It could have been much worse, although now I need to make time and clean up the damned mess.
:o Yikes!!
Glad that it wasn't as bad as it could've been!
