The man's shop is sacred to him. No harm done. I will explain to t why he can't use that remote though.<br /><br />BTW I was one of those kids myself... always curious and always touching things to see how they work. I don't want to stifle that in t.

Very cheap.<br />Glad you all got out of it okay!<br /><br />Good luck with the new system, but sorry about the added cost. Hopefully it will pay for itself over time.<br /><br />I have seen iCarly many times with Turkey, who loves it. It is a cute show. I agree the stuff that Disney stinks. I don't like the attitude the kids on their shows have and prefer that Turkey doesn't pick that up. But iCarly has some funny situations and some good basic ethics to pass on. Just not my personal choice.<br /><br />BTW, I had been watching Criminal Minds, which is not a kid show. I can't blame him for wanting to turn off a show about the sort of monsters who do exist. The world is scary enough for kids.silly rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313221194740196751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-40964746112218598732011-11-06T10:55:53.107-08:002011-11-06T10:55:53.107-08:00lime- I won't be hard on him, just let him kno...lime- I won't be hard on him, just let him know that I don't want him to fiddle with it and that it could have caused a dangerous situation. I was one of those kids who had to fiddle with things too. I'm sure if he knows, he will avoid using it.silly rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313221194740196751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-85496835220228427762011-11-05T17:38:08.917-07:002011-11-05T17:38:08.917-07:00You're right - kids do kid things.

I suppose He watches over the deserving too, and (usually) makes sure your house doesn't get burnt down through something you couldn't have known.<br /><br />Funny, as a kid, my house did burn down. Well, not all the way down, but we were burnt out for December and January. Furnace problem. I was home sick with flu that day.<br /><br />It was an old converted coal furnace you had to light manually in the am... open the door, light up a scrap of paper and toss it in. First one up gets the job. Boy it could be cold in the mornings.<br /><br />Having owned old furnaces myself, in hindsight, I suspect perhaps my less-than-handy Dad learned the hard way you have to put water in the boiler. <br /><br />I just replaced yesterday our 85 year-old boiler (!). It still worked, but it was hella x-pensive to run. I'm hoping the expense will be reflected in a much lower gas bill. We'll see.<br /><br />Btw, love that capital T and small t. Heh, heh. And I have to say, I think iCarly is actually a pretty funny show... much better written than that Disney garbage. It's like Seinfeld for tweeners. <br /><br />("writted"... sheesh ;-)Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-67461980998999705152011-11-04T20:11:04.772-07:002011-11-04T20:11:04.772-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-20547188205200087412011-11-04T19:53:37.127-07:002011-11-04T19:53:37.127-07:00oh goodness, that is a bit of a scary situation. ...oh goodness, that is a bit of a scary situation. glad you got it figured out and i hop et gets the lesson.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192937652020425888.post-85039693562373052722011-11-04T17:55:37.633-07:002011-11-04T17:55:37.633-07:00Cube- That is so true.
