Talk about downplaying a situation… here’s the truth:
Christopher and I are messaging each other and he disappears for a while. When he comes back he says “Sorry, I’m burning some documents.” I assumed he was burning something on his computer onto a disk. Not really BURNING them. So I say oh. Then he disappears again and comes back and starts bitching about how his landlord’s son is such a retard because he wants him to put the fire out.
Fire? Yes, fire. He explains he’s literally burning some old financial documents in a flower pot with lamp oil.
When he tells me that Tom thinks he’ll give the bldg. carbon monoxide poisoning, I say, you can’t get that outside. Then Christopher tells me he’s burning the documents INSIDE his apartment. I start to think about all the dumbasses you hear about on the news who burned their houses down because they were trying to grill inside. I don’t say anything. I just tell him that maybe to appease Tom, he should stop.
When I get to his house to pick him up, I park and walk up the sidewalk to his door. There’s Tom, walking around the property with a garden hose in his hand. I suppose he was trying to be prepared in case he needed to use it. LOL.
Christopher opens the door and there’s literally a cloud of smoke in his living room. I couldn’t even see to the kitchen. A wave of “campfire smell” hits me in the face like a brick wall. I start to laugh and tell him to come on.
We get into my car and his clothes smell so badly like smoke, I roll down the windows. I mention that when he opened the apt. door, it stunk like smoke and he tells me that it’s almost aired out and not that bad. Of course he can’t tell it’s bad… he smells like a smokejumper coming home after a long day of fighting fires.
“Honey… everything you own… your clothes, furniture… they’re all going to smell like smoke now.” He shrugs. Not concerned. At least he wasn’t hitting bullets with a hammer or something. LOL.

She is exaggerating. Ok the lack of formatting on comments is really starting to drive me nuts… ughh.

ProphetJoe the Irreverent quibbed this
Yeah, I’ve tried BR and P and nothing seems to work to force a return…
Christopher the Pyro got all philosophical
No.
I’ve discovered the problem and I am investing my meager financial and time resources into solving this problem for the blog. I’ll be posting the solution as soon as I have it. (Discovering the problem was half the battle).

Hmm, I didn’t see where Libras were supposed to be so impatient

Oh, and ‘topher: while you’re repairing things, would you modify the smiley code? When I choose the standard smile, it put the smiley above with a trailing parenthesis. That is, if I choose the 9th smiley, I get the 15th smiley with an extra “)” behind it.
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
The smileys are part of the problem with the line breaks in the comments. So I’m sure Christopher is already aware that they aren’t working quite right.
<– Bad smiley! You suck!

Now you went and made it cry! I thought you were supposed to be the compassionate, caring liberal… can’t we all just get along? BTW, where are T & M?

PJ, be nice to Christine she is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that she isn’t a liberal anymore.. (no matter how much she holds on to the idea that she is.. if you remove abortion from her arsenal she doesn’t identity with the libs anymore… which I attribute to the fact that she is now rich.)
Ivy the Soldier spake, and sayeth
no doubt about the hammer thing.. My husband’s aunt set her kitchen on fire doing the same thing.. The guy from the fire dept called her a dumbass and they fined her 100$ for starting the fire and having to come out to her place. (not the first fire she has set out here.. She has set the woods on fire multiple times..LOL) There aren’t fire hydrants down here.. They had to locate the water truck to come out there here..
