Something to do with my computer  :laugh:

There was weird smoke coming down from the ceiling. I couldn't work out what it was but it smelled funny so I went downstairs and told my mum I can smell gas and now it's all sorted.

I was once in my parents' house when somebody (probably my sister) left a gas stove on, unlit.  I was in a spare bedroom on the opposite end of the house messing around on the computer.  I thought the headache I had was just from eyestrain, from looking at the monitor too long.  But then, my mother walked in and just about freaked.  She smelled the gas right away, but it had somehow impaired my judgement and I never recognized the tracer scents they put in (mercaptan, sulfide) so you can smell it.  We opened all the doors and windows and vented it out, but holy shit, one little spark and it would have been KABOOM.  (A few years later, that house was destroyed by a hurricane.)

Soph, why would your brother draw a picture like that?  Sibling rivalry, I presume?

My son once was "experimenting" with fireworks by opening them up and mixing stuff in his room.  Well he some how mixed in something and the whole thing started burning an entire desk top full of flammable and explosive powders luckily I   was home and went in with a fire extinguisher it was close.  He burned the top of the desk black the walls and the ceiling too.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Fuck do they teach this to everyone? I found it a bit childish to be told these things as an electronic engineering student.
