When the owner returned home, I saw that the entire floor of the first floor was covered with water.

The electricity went out in the evening when I was cooking on our electric stove. It's okay, I have a generator which powers part of the house but not the stove, so I cooked dinner with using a multicooker. The next evening I used the slow cooker, to prepare meals for the week. There is only one socket in the kitchen powered by a generator, and it's next to the stove, so I put the slow cooker on the stove while cooking. When everything was ready, I turned it off, covered it with a glass lid, and my family and I went to dinner at establishment… The power came back on while we were away, and it turned out that I did not turn off the burner on the stove when two days ago the electricity went out. … By the time we got home, the fire went out, but the damage from the smoke was significant, ”the author of the photo explained everything.

In any case, the content can be re- scrape off the dish into a bowl and start eating ????



“Slipped and fell on the grill at work”



Users noted that the band-aid would not help much in this case, to which the woman (the author of the photo) replied: “Probably another 20 could help ???? But this band-aid is on a large blister that I already have.”

“So, a small update, I went to the ambulance help, burn on the forearm - first degree, under my amazing adhesive plaster hello kitty - the second degree.
