Preheated the oven… without remembering to take the cast iron pans and the splatter guard with the plastic handle it of the oven before turning it on. My step-mom was not a happy woman when she caught on to that one… Neither my parents, my wive’s parents, nor myself, nor my wives ever did or do store anything inside an oven. I _always_ open it up and look before turning it on. Belt meet suspenders. An oven fire is not funny. Not one little bit. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Unfortunately, **FCD** dropped his glasses overboard. He took them off to wipe the sweat from his eyes and somehow flung them into the river.

We take the concept of insurance for your prized valuables one step further with Croakies Float Products. Now you can insure the safety of your frames and your keys while on the water.

Dinner for me was cold leftover groc store roast chicken from two nights ago and leftover green salad from my French-style breakfast yesterday. Some fruit and/or cheese will be round two shortly. Her Ladyship enjoyed the leftover dolmates she brought home from her lady’s luncheon. My congestion continues unabated but my energy is holding up excellently today. So I’m healthier than yesterday in the ways that benefit me, but not yet the ways that benefit irk.
