Have you ever had the oven door try to shut on your arm?

[redqueen]

Oh man does that ever hurt.

Four days later, it still hurts pretty good if I accidentally scratch it or bump it up against anything not soft and gentle.

Lesson learned though... that's the last time I attempt to put my arm in there before making sure the door is ALL THE WAY open.

1. One of my pet fears

Thankfully my pet is in the other room so he can't see me typing
Especially as I denied him his after-poop treat since he went running along the fenceline with the dog-next-door too soon after eating his dinner
But yeah, I make sure the oven door is all the way down before reaching in
OUCH, I hope you are better soon
And use oven mitts
I'd like to find some that look like old-time Miss America formal gown gloves

5. I'd need some awfully big oven mitts...

the door caught me nearer to my elbow than my wrist.

450 degrees, too. It left an impressive mark. :P

2. No, but

one of my big mistakes sometimes is to not open it far enough for what I'm trying to put in it. I'm trying to correct this problem so I can stop burning myself. :hi:

3. I had an oven try to push me down a flight of stairs once

damn mean ovens!

6. Hahahahahahah

7. I swear it did!

moral of the story:

Don't turn your back on the oven. If it is not out to entrap your arms which are eager to reach in to grab the bounty, it will plot other scenarios. Like the time one tried to push me down the stairs. That was truly unexpected.

4. Here's a phone number for you....

Here's a phone number for you.... it's to my imaginary therapist. She's good. Real good. I think she can help you a lot. :evilgrin:

8. I got a nasty burn on my wrist that way. Ended up in the emergency room.

The damn thing had a mind of its own and would spring up and attack invading arms.

9. Yes

Seriously, get yourself a set of outdoor grill mitts, like the ones made by Weber. You can get them at any place that sells grill items, or online. They have long semi-sleeves which go up a considerable part of your forearm, and can withstand very high temps.
