My Iron Was Left On for Weeks!!

[Sherri]

Well, it's a wonder my house is still standing and not burned to a crisp. My son in law was upstairs working at the desk and happened to hear the iron make a crackling sound. He went over and looked at it, sitting on the ironing board, and it was on. We think it had been on over a month!! This is the iron that I keep for guests only, and there is no telling when it was used last. But it's been at least a month. Scary stuff.........

Thank God for His protection!!!! Now if He would just do something about my electric bill.

Irons reach temp and turn off, and on again to keep temp. Only problem would have been if the iron was left face down.

[Sherri]

Seriously? All irons do that?

[Pressing-On]

Seriously? All irons do that?

No, they don't all do that. I purchased one that does turn off automatically, because I always forget to turn it off. Thank God it didn't short out and cause a fire!

Your iron does not have a thermostat?

[berkeley]

Sorry, sherri. I didn't mean off, as in turn off completely. Just temp control.

Sherri, we are at that age where we have to get everything with automatic switchoffs! I won't buy a coffee maker or iron without them.

I wish I had a switch like that to go to sleep sometimes.

[Hoovie]

I do have some "turn off" switches... but we don't have to go into that.

Sherri...thank the Lord for HIS ANGELS...they were watching over you and yours.

I thought the angels took a coffee break as soon as the scissors came out - guess I was wrong!
