NEW WAY to get rid of split ends!!! Guaranteed (but not recommended)

instantly...

:eyes:

the fire in the soapstone fireplace had been out of four hours so i thought a little lighter fluid tossed in with the fresh logs might kick start it without having to resort to getting kindling.....

:dunce:

wow. the fireball that came roaring outta that sucker was like a hollywood special effect! i rolled backwards but still lost all the little hairs in my nose, on my hands and my eyelashes are about halflength.... scared hubby half to death - he dropped his video game controller and came tearing into the room....

oops?

i still smell smokey (my long hair got trimmed as well) but DAMN i feel so stupid... and LUCKY.

and there was absolutely NO ALCOHOL involved... til now! Be still my heart...

:toast:

1. Glad a little hair is all you lost, peacebird

:hug:

2. thanks for the hug!

I needed that....

it feels funny to have no little hairs on my face.... except what's left of my eyebrows!

not my brightest move...

sigh.

3. Holy shit....

I thought it was going to be a joke. Have you lost your mind?!

4. I did something similar once

well in my case it involved freshly dyed hair and birthday cake, but the results were similar. :blush:

5. Wow...that sounds like something I would do

:blush:

Glad you're ok. I'd say the :toast: was well earned. :hi:

6. you are SO lucky

at least once a week I see someone in the emergency room with burns from dousing fires with gasoline.



Please folks, don't try this at home



:hug:

7. Oh my. I've had similar experiences. Glad you're ok.

That smell is memorable.

Again, glad you are ok

8. Jesus God, that was astonishingly dumb.

I say that in admiration, because I've done some spectacularly stupid things in my life, with much worse (and more permanent) consequences, but putting lighter fluid in a woodstove?

That trumps all.

Don't do that again, OK? We'd miss you around here if you blew yourself up.

11. okay - she mumbles quietly looking down at the floor most abashed...

and it was most amazingly DUMB....

sigh.

9. I had a similar experience

when I was in high school. The logs were wet so I doused them with Coleman Lantern fuel (I think this stuff has the same octane as aviation fuel). I got a nice fireball and burned most of the hair off my arms. Thankfully I was wearing jeans or it could have been worse. Scared the hell out of me.

10. Wow!

I'm glad you're okay! (I once singed my hair with a cigarette lighter - seems awfully tame now!)
