Howdy and Dook, Dook folx!
 
I wanted to comment on the post where a person "nuked" the blanket for
their fuzzie to help them get warm.  BAD IDEA!  You were lucky that the
blanket didn't catch fire and burn some parts of the kitchen!  Just to let
you know...many types of blankets are made up of synthetic materials.  Even
many of those that *aren't* made up of these materials have properties that
cause them to melt and burn under certain conditions.  Since microwave
radiation tends to heat things up by exciting the molecules, it is possible
to cause a flash fire inside your microwave.  PLEASE don't think that since
it didn't happen this time, it won't ever happen.  You were lucky this
time.  Next time, toss the blanket in a clothes dryer for a few minutes to
warm it up.  This is safer for all concerned.

don't have a licence to drive! :( ) Fuzzbutt Rodeo Clowns!
