The light in the kitchen stopped working...after 27 some years it just gave up. It wasn't the brightest anyway.
I ordered a light from Walmart and it was delivered. Far Guy installed it one day when I ran some errands. I asked him if he shut off the circuit??? He didn't he just shut the switch off. Why did I ask?
One day at noon we were working in the garage...he was hungry and went into the house all by himself to make lunch. He put English Muffins in the toaster...one got stuck and began to burn. He unplugged something (the coffee maker) and began to pry the burning muffin out of the toaster with a knife. When he went to dump the crumbs into the garbage he realized that he had unplugged the coffee maker instead of the toaster.
His Guardian Angel was working overtime. Throughout his life she has been really busy...saving him from certain death many times.
I am positive that she has been keeping him safe until of course his numbered days are up. After all God is in charge.
Still praying for both of you. RHill, TX
ReplyDeleteI had one of my lights do this. My FG is not here anymore. I could pay an electrician but just use my other two lights which don't light up as well. I miss my light. I miss my FG.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord knows the number of hairs on our heads….he knows our days too.
Hope the clot melter is working. Like walking on egg shells.
It might be a guy thing since I have changed a light with the switch flipped to off and pried toast out of a plugged in toaster with a knife.
ReplyDeleteOhhnooo... Poor Guardian Angel! lol It's usually the woman that doesn't think of these things...

After reading your last post, my immediate thought was, his guardian angel was interceeding for him, and after this post there is no doubt!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you both in my prayers every day.
There's just not stopping them sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThat guardian angel needs to stay on the job for many more years!! My 2 sons-in-law replaced my kitchen light a couple of summers ago, also without turning off that particular breaker. They made me very nervous. I certainly hope that embolism is dissolving as expected, and that FG is resting as ordered.
ReplyDeleteI've actually replaced a light fixture and like Far Guy, simply turned off the light switch. It was what my brother told me to do so I didn't think anything about it. Maybe he was trying to get rid of me. :p Now, I've never mistaken plugs one for another.
ReplyDeleteLIGHT!!! Let there be LIGHT!!! That turned out really good. Way to go, Far Guy
ReplyDeleteOh boy - keeping an eye on him right now is much harder than anticipated! Keep healing Far Guy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the kitchen go lit up and not FG.
ReplyDeleteUh, good that FG did not get "electrocuted" I did this, pulled the wrong plug, and had the current run through me when trying to rapair an extension cord, so no, not a male thing. I also always only flippped the switch - until that day where I cut a live cord; the switch was connected wrong, so that I actually flipped it ON!. Now I shut the circuit even when exchanging a lightbulb!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear his guardian angel is working overtime. May it do so for long yet.
Aren’t guardian angels such a blessing ❣️. They are real ❣️
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThe toaster/coffee maker tale made me laugh out loud. It's exactly the kind of thing that happens here.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same here! Dan on a ladder with a screwdriver messing around with a light fixture. I always say, Dan you need to turn the circuit off. It's okay, I got the light switch off. I'm so sorry about Far Guy's illness. How scary. Glad you got to the hospital. (your last post)
