Okay, so here I am with both of my sons. This was taken last year on Father's Day - the day we traditionally leave for Summer Camp. Both boys and I have earned some stuff since then, so our uniforms are slightly more decorated now... but you get the idea... oh yeah, and both have grown upwards since then, and I've sadly gotten a bit more roundedsince then.
OK If I read this right, from the time I had to actually get to work up to now, We started with a request for pictures of the result of consuming out of date mayonnaise, progressed up to more satisfying actual pictures of bacon and tea, ascended to the lofty and truly admirable heights of Scouting and Young Marines and them descended back down to the concepts of clogged toilets and Thunderbutt.
Do I have that right?
Is this thread awesome or what
OK...since we've gone there....
My co-worker (who is also my BIL) is known as ThunderButt and has this thing where he'll plant his butt flush on the hollow door to my office and rattle one off....It's quite loud and obnoxious.
i work for an american standard dealer, i can do it. now, nobody can clog a toto toilet. that thing can flush a live chicken.
So, today was a most interesting day. I got to school around 7 and began to unlock all of the doors. My mother calls me around 7:05 (she comes up and stays with my son and takes him to school since DW works nights) and says, "I have a problem. Your oven just shot flames out of the front, and now the top element is burning."So, I told her that I was headed home right then to check on things (I'm only 10 minutes away from home). I got about half way there and called her, and she said "it's still burning, do I need to call 911??" I told her to go ahead and I would be there shortly. When I got home, I could hear the fire whistle screaming and within 2 minutes a truck pulled up to our house. Before the truck got there, I went in and looked, and the top element was burning like a sparkler; really bright around the element and it was shooting sparks off in all different directions. Not a consistent flame, but still not a comfortable sight either. I went and turned off the breaker to the oven and it immediately stopped burning. That is when the fire department walked through the door. I hated to call about something that small, but if it had gotten back into our walls I would probably be typing this from a hotel tonight. Luckily, when you live in a small town, you know about everyone, and one of the two volunteers that got there almost immediately has kids at my school, and he reassured us that calling even for something as small as this was the right thing to do because it had the potential to do much more damage than just to the element. No smoke damage at all to anything but the element, but just enough excitement to scare the bejeebus out of you really quick
Other than that, it was a great day

Now you do!!!

Nice pic!
Welcome. I was also going to ask where in NC, but someone did that on a previous post. Was in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago. If your ever in the mountains, give me a yell.

Oh thanks for posting that again. I was reading the thread today at work, but the office IE is not up to snuff.....now I get it!Since some may have missed this glorious sight to behold... here it is once again
did you ever eat something, than look at the expiration date on the jar???? i just ate mayo that expired 6 months ago!
I have eaten mayo with a sell-by date that was nearly a year prior with no ill effects. Maybe keeping it refrigerated helps?
