Bad news: My bed falls through the slats. I'm not strong enough to lift the tempurpedic mattress plus the damn box spring to get the stupid wooden slats on by myself -- and worse yet -- it's the middle slat that has fallen through this time, the one with the center support for my mattress. It's on a 45 degree angle right now and I've got to sleep on it.
Good news: while I was attempting to fix things, I found my reversible omega necklace.
Bad news: My mother cooked dinner and left the burner on all night once again. This is exactly how my grandmother's dementia started. I don't wanna be hard on her -- I guess anyone could forget. Please tell me it's something everyone does?
Good news: I caught it before we had another holiday fire. |

How often does the burner thing happen? Yes, I've forgotten a burner occasionally, but not all night. I'm much more likely to turn on the wrong freaking burner and scorch something I was done with -- or those metal burner covers. I don't do burner covers any more.

I've left it on for an hour or two until I go back in the kitchen and see the light on. Mommy ADD... I get distracted. Or I'm senile at 36... take your pick.  |

I've left the oven on, I've turned the wrong burner on and nearly burnt the house down-the burner I turned on had a pan of oil over it-bad, bad bad.
I think once, it can happen to anyone.

I understand that fear - my grandmother often told me how when her mother developed dementia, my grandmother would have to help her pay her bills and do her banking. The first time that my grandmother and I noticed that my grandmother might be developing dementia? When she couldn't figure out how to write a check.  Burners, however, can happen to the best of us 
Did anyone have metal things that clamped onto the bedframe and held up the mattress/boxspring that way? I remember these being on my bed when I was a kid. But that was a twin bed, don't think it would work for a larger one.

No, I meant metal things that clamped onto the bedframe to hold up the mattress.

I had them on my bed, and on the archaic bunks we refinished for the boys, but don't think I've seen them on newer bedframes.
We actually have had better luck with plywood sheets cut to the size of the bedframe. | |
