Joe is either really good at his job or he really hates candles…

Oh Marcy, DO enjoy this taste of your own medicine.I know I will!

My question is why didn’t Joe put it out himself. Why is it “you” left it burning when it shoud have been “we” left it burning.

The only candles I leave lit are the self-contained ones with a wide base; they tend to burn out before something gets burned up.

Let’s see, he b*tches about the safety and leaves it burn all night just to chastise her…

There was a gentleman just down the street from me who died this past weekend in a fire started by one of his cats knocking over a lit candle. Most firemen I know absolutely hate unattended lit candles.

Yeah boy!

[furry-faced grin] Wonderful comic Robb!!! Very real!+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I completely agree with Joe! It was a major point of contention between my wife and I when we first married. I am glad that she and I are now in agreement… NO LIT CANDLES in the house other than those that are on birthday cakes.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++When you stated Engine 53, it also made me laugh because I thought of both “Car 51” (The old Fred Gwynne series where he was a police officer) and “Station 51” on the show “Emergency”.

jacquie65 and Mourdac, “we” didn’t light the candle. “we” didn’t ignore the plea not to leave a candle burning unattended. “we” didn’t choose one of the non-flame aromatherapy options that are so easy to use and can be found in every grocery store. “we” probably weren’t even told a candle had been lit. So, no, “we” didn’t leave it burning.

Joe is such a narc.

(grin)…. yes, you are right…. it is of course, “Car 54”. In the pipe is only a vanillia tinctured burley leaf. I have never had the opportunity to sample the more greener leaf, so I have no idea what that is like.
