OMG. I just had an exploding lithium ion battery adventure...so today is my daughter's birthday and I went to the large copy/print shop she owns with her present. I made her some jewelry, and had an extra cheap plated silver chain for the necklace. In a pocket of my purse I carry an extra batt for my provari. So anyway, I tossed the extra chain in my purse. A few minutes later there's a POP and sizzling SMOKE pouring from my purse. Her business has lots of expensive copy machines, not to mention all the paper. Her 3 employees ran around opening doors and getting a couple fans going. Had the smoke alarm sprinklers come on it would have been horrible. OMG. Got my purse outside and finally soaked it with enough water to stop the crazy smoke. Home now, still shaking. Hubby says silver is a GREAT conductor

Oh no!

keithu2 · Jun 23, 2016

Sorry about the purse, the chain, and the battery, but glad that you're ok grannybear!

OMG. My worst fear come to life!
Oh, Mer. I'm glad you're ok. I know you know now that you can't leave batteries just floating around, right? Keep them in cases!
It's not gonna make the news, is it?
Oy.

No...I'm dumb. It was just in a pocket, and the chain obviously landed just right. Battery cases from now on...

No, no news-making

I did know they couldn't float around, but I had sure gotten casual on keeping them. Oh, and I think, from the residue, there were 2 batteries

SO much smoke!

Merbear · Jun 23, 2016

Battery cases ordered.

You weenie. That's shorts with a long sleeve t-shirt weather.
You know what would warm you up????? Crawl into grannybears purse and snuggle up to the fire!!!
Silly grannybears.
Glad Merbears was ok. I bet that was scary as shiate.
I can't stress 2 vaping rules strongly enough.
#1: ALWAYS...(not you Sweet Feet)...keep batts in a case.
#2: NEVER go to a vape rave put on by the recovering sex addicts chapter of the Hells Angels....in a van, down by the river, behind Dirty Betty's.

Damn knuckles.

Is this the same rave you told me was a can't miss event?

Well, that's $27 worth of glow in the dark body paint down the drain.

currently 7 C, which sounds justifiably cold, unlike F

if you caught up to the metric system, 7 C / 45 F would feel cold for you too

always9988 · Jun 24, 2016

Ok, 45 is getting a little cold. I'll give you that one

Glow in the dark body paint is never a "down the drain" purchase. Weekly need. Should be on your shopping list like...
#1: peanut butter
#2: glow in the dark body paint.
#3: food.

Duh!!!!!

You live in a weird part of the country if these basic "needs" aren't obvious.
The zombie/vape-apocalypse is going to chew you up.
Just for reference ....I'm stockpiling kool-aid and Frank's Red Hot sauce.....

When the shiate hits the fan....go west.....find me.......

When I was in junior high (7th-8th grade)...we went through a huge "convert to the metric system" push in the US OF A.....so we would be like the entire rest of the world.
Then the powers that be realized we were too stupid to get it and decided that we would just say it was stupid and we would be different.
7 C sounds colder than 45 F......easy peasy.......its 45 F....ill wear shorts and a long tee.....
7 C makes me want to put on my mink bikini thong thingy.....

the worst off here are the ones that did school in the 60s and 70s

learn the basics in imperial, then BAM advanced math in metric, so now that generation just has nFI at all

Eh it is what it is. The sheer unwillingness to engage/learn I guess is the sad part. I'll be the first to admit I wasn't the greatest at this job when I started but I was willing to learn. And learn I did, now I know my shit. I take pride in my work and am disappointed when others don't. Oh well, vacation starts today

Damn......

On the bright side....when you're a hot chicky babe, your culinary skills are secondary.....
In Embees case...the culinary skills are probably further down the line.....like fourthdary or seventhdary....
The hotter the babe....the lower the culinary skill rating....

Not sure about the hot chicky-babe stuff, but my skills are lacking in the kitchen, for sure.
Since we've moved and Hubby is busting his ass with a full time job and fixing this house, I've been doing all the cooking.
He's lost some weight. :facepalm:

Thanks for the reminder. Funny how easily I forgot that promise, though.
