glad you are all ok wayne!!!! hmmm....could be the cat....I catch mine on the counter a lot....conniving little critters..LOL!!!

speaking of setting water on fire....my mom was getting a pan of water boiling for macaroni noodles years ago....she had apparently spilled something on the burner and hadn't noticed it. when she turned the burner on high to boil th e water, whatever was on the burner started smoking real bad and set off the smoke detector. we have teased mom for years about her cooking being so bad she could burn water!!!!

The burning water reminds me of once when I was a kid, Grandma had no clue, she boiled water and mixed it with Nestle quick powder, served it as cocoa, the picture on the front of the can shows hot cocoa, but she never read the instructions to use hot milk!

Wayne, very glad you, the family and all critters are OK and the blender is the only casulity. I'm sure it was a terrifing ordeal to say the least.

Thanks Sid..

Scared me more how close I was to ignoring it, it was only like 5:00 am and I usually don't get up till 6.

We sleep with the radio on (My brain is hyper active, and without a distraction, I just lay there thinking all night) At first I thought it was FM static on the radio, Then I switched it off, the noise was still there.

Finally decided to get up, I opened the bedroom door and it was a bit louder, yet still I thought one of the aquarium filters had lost prime.

I walked down the hallway and started noticing the smell, and it was definitely coming from the kitchen. The fire was dancing around under the speed selection keys!!! I grabbed the cord and yanked it out, then promptly chucked the blender out the back door!

Been burning a scented candle all day to try and drive that melted motor smell out of the house........

Thankfully it was making noise!! most electrical malfunctions are silent.
