Kitchen Grease Fires
You may have seen this before, but I recently saw it again circulating the email route. It's a good reminder as to what to do with a grease fire!
This is from the email that I got:
An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated.
The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.
Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. This is a powerful message-watch the video and don't forget what you see.
Tell your whole family about this video. Or better yet, send the YouTube link to them!

Pacifier Risk
Josh alerted me to a MySpace bulletin from a HS friend, so I thought I'd post it here as well. Basically, the post made me realize that pacifiers can be a choking hazard. As if speech delays, increased risks of ear infections, and risking early weaning weren't enough...

Just a fyi to all my mommy friends, I know we all use these, and I until this morning have been a huge fan. We have the blue older baby ones that we use on a regular basis. Well this morning Zade somehow got the whole thing in his mouth and lodged in his throat. BE CAREFUL, not only was it very difficult to remove with him throwing up everywhere. I now hate them and think they aren't worth it.I mean what if that happened at night?!?! Pass this on as a warning, just in case.
SO PASS IT ON!
