I just HAD to pass this on to everyone.

so

fire.

> > The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours.

> > He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He

asked my

> > normal things....curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to her, " No,

> Then, my sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-in in the

> The investigator had one of those " Aha " moments. He said that was the

then

hot,
