10/17/06- A Few Incidents in 24 Hours
The last few days I have noticed the smell of a sweaty man in our basement. Today my wife called me at work to tell me that while she was at the grocery store, our laundry detergent had fallen off our dryer and spilled. In the picture, the ALL on the left is the one we had just finished and had been sitting at the exact same spot on dryer from full to empty. Just a week ago, I had put the new full on up on the dryer. As you can see by the size these are not light grandma size detergent bottles, we have 4 kids 3 and under, we get the mega size. Logic would say that maybe it wobbled off, but that is not truly logical. The near empty old one is much more likely to wobble off than the new heavy one. Plus the dryer was not running at that time, the washing machine was. The washing machine is not touching the dryer, and I reran it in the spin mode just to test, and the load was even and no wobbling occurred.

My wife told me that when she was putting the dirty laundry in the washing machine she noticed the smell of cigarette smoke, neither of us smoke. I still thought this was just a coincidence until I noticed the pictures. I posted them in order taken. You see the scene in picture one, with 3 orbs. The next photo is white washed out. I was trying to take the same photo as I took in photo 3. If you notice in photo 3, next to the detergent, is an orange dot. If you zoom in you can actually see a face in the dot. It looks like a face on fire.

After I took those pictures, I went back upstairs. We had just cooked supper on our griddle (quesadillas if you must know, and served with Amish Family Recipes Corn Salsa) and my wife was finishing the last bit when we noticed one of the burners on our stove was on. Neither of us turned it on; I was in the basement, and my wife was at the griddle (this is one of those countertop varieties). My kids are far too small to reach these burners, (the oldest being three) plus they were at the table waiting for their food.

We unplugged the griddle by pulling the plug from the griddle but for some reason we left it plugged into the wall. Because of the earlier incident, before we went to bed that night I checked to make sure it was turned off. It was. When I got up the next morning, it was turned on.
