ForHisGlory Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 LORD!!! I'm jumping up and down going, "OH, God! Oh, God!!" LOL!Threw a breaker and then burned out. The smoke alarm finally quit bleeting!!!NOW - how do I warm my candle jars? How long does it take with a heating gun?The miracle was - I thought my computer was blown also - but it was only the breaker shutting off that saved it - Thank you God!!!

HeavenScentU Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Goodness! What were you doing? Just run the heat gun over them. I warm them just enough to where my hand can still touch the jar. I'd hate to have my jar burst from too much heat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I warm them just enough to where my hand can still touch the jar. I'd hate to have my jar burst from too much heat...I was running between two cabinets trying to find some baking soda!My friend told me not to even turn on the top to keep my pour pot warm. I think I may need to wait.I really needed to pour these couple of scents today, but I guess that will have to wait. Lord, my husband is going to be furious!!!!!! lol!Do you always use the heat gun? That seems like so much trouble. Thanks for the info. If I'm testing and need just a couple of jars I'll warm them in the microwave with water in the jar and then wipe it dry. Several candle jars would be way too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForHisGlory Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 It appears to be an electrical short. I'm wondering if I should unplug it. I'm afraid to touch it.Sears is having a no interest sale through 2009! Yeah, I wanted a new stove!My son's cell phone keeps going off and scaring me to death. It has a lock feature, so I'm going to stick it under his pillow!!! lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Glad you weren't hurt and didn't have a major fire. Shorts are dangerous and I've got one in one of my burners in the shop. I just avoid that burner. GInger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grama Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have been wanting a new refrigerator and I can't for the world of me get it to tear up. It's not but 29 years old, you would think it would break down for good:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe it! When I would drive by I would say, "Jesus, would you please have them remove that statue or close that place down." It is closed for good!

Karen B Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 grama,This summer my not even 3 friggin' yr old fridge died on me. My wonderful big brother came by with his 20 yr old fridge and told me to keep it in the garage "just in case". (then I could just roll it down the driveway for the garbage) (lol) That thing is UGLY but it's more reliable than my two brand new appliances with all those computer parts in them. (I still wonder why everyone puts computer boards right by water, cold or in this case hot ovens and think it's safe) Trust me grama keep your old reliable, because it really sucks to try and figure out how to feed a family with just a cooler.Karen B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be so disappointed.I'm going to suggest that we buy a new one, fix the old and sell it.It's just that it has ONE big burner and THREE little ones. I've always hated this stove.
