Yes, Nancy, if the burner had not been discovered, it could have been disastrous for you, your family and home. I'm so happy you found it in time, too! 
DH said my chopped walnuts pkg., I'd put out for him to put in the cake, were FIVE YEARS OLD!
So he put in a "couple of handfuls of mixed nuts. At least they're fresh." 
Oh, no! WHAT is this cake going to taste like?
I s2s, shampooed, put on a black turtleneck with a purple ruffled lightweight knit infinity scarf, DDIL made me, which is "IN" now. I asked DH, "How do I look?" He said, "You look- okay." I asked him, "I feel a bit "funny" putting on Mother of Pearl beads wearing jeans and a turtleneck. Infinity scarves are "IN" and I think my dfriend will love it. She sews and she'll see a new idea, too." DH says, "It's - okay." So I bite my tongue, sit down here to report how "okay" I look, when I look beautiful, 
and realized something comical. I'm now writing a story from the male POV. 2 of my professional writer dfriends, who write books, told me the exact same thing about males. They're less emotional, they don't show their feelings as much as women do, they don't get all excited, they're quieter, etc... So NOW I realize how DH is just BEING A MALE! 
So of course, he's not doing cartwheels over my scarf. 
He's getting the mail, our DSON called, I walked/talked 30 min. on his lunch hour, on the phone with him, it was wonderful, I got my exercise in, have endorphins, and it was so nice to laugh, joke, and enjoy our conversation. With 7 kids at home, talking on the phone with him is noisy, so it was quiet, and so nice. I enjoyed it so much. ♥
Thank you to those of you who wish and wished me a happy b-day. Sherinjoy, you're making all of us feel so good and we're glad we inspire you. I feel inspired, motivated, too, and cheered on. It's wonderful!
