Peggy: In response to your gas in the kitchen

[Guest guest]

We live in an apartment, and when I started with the tubing, I talked

with the office and they came over and pulled the gas stove out, and

shut off the gas from the back of the stove so there is no gas anywhere

near me. I put the grates to the top of the stove inside the oven for

storage as I can not use them.

Since I do a LOT of cooking, I bought a GE 2 burner hotplate, (Walmart)

cheap, and a nice counter top Convection Oven at Lowe's $45.00 that

toasts, grills, bakes and broils. It is fantastic. It cooks your food

35% faster than gas or electric. So I am very happy about the cooking

setup and it leaves me air to breath knowing that I don't have to worry

about gas and fire. It was quite worrisome when I first started with

the tubing and knew it wasn't right to keep going in the kitchen. The

website I think says stay at least 10 ft away from open flame. Also

with candles. I love my candles, so what I do with those is I remove

the cannula for a few min. move away from and light the candle, then

immediately go back and put the cannula back on. Works good!!!

Just trying to help out a little.

Love, Lou

Lou... I love candles too but now I've switched to flameless. Love 'em! Look just like a candle.

Lou,

I did all of that too. Then I read that even when you are not wearing your cannula, your hair and clothes are permeated with the 02 that has been blowing all around your face. I stopped lighting candles and blowing out candles. We now have no candles. We do have a gas fireplace. I stay far, far away. Probably should not have it. My husband loves it!

While I try not to overreact to the risks of oxygen. For instance, I

cook on a countertop electric grill, being very careful and fire

extinguisher right beside and will probably get another convection

oven or something as countertop is so much easier. However, candles

do seem a bit risky to me. One flip of your shirt or blouse or tip of

the candle by a wild puppy or someone else hitting one. While the gas

fireplace is contained and somewhat protected (although I'd still

feel better with an electric one), to me the candles represent more

danger.

I know it feels like surrendering something you really enjoy, but

whether through fakes or through finding something else that brings

you similar pleasure, I'd personally search for an alternative. In

non-oxygen homes there are more accidents than one realizes with

candles but they are quickly extinguished before becoming fires.
