[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Att: the following information could save your life!

	If you are like most typical people when you have several loads of laundry you go in check, and if the clothes are dry irregardless if the timer has went off, you then toss in the next load to be dried, reset the timer and walk away. You may do this several times. STOP right there and never do it again. There is a cool down cycle on your dryer for a reason, and that reason is not to cool down your clothes, but to cool down the heating element on your dryer. A friend of mines house burnt down a few months ago and that is the reason why. The dryer was less than 6 months old. The heating element overheated and caught the floor on fire. By the time they noticed the smoke etc it was too late all they could do was run out of the house and call 911. Their dryer was in a wash room off from the main house, so they did not smell the smoke right away. The Fireman that explained this to her said that 9 out of 10 people when asked about how they do their laundry do it the wrong way. They even wrote up an article in the local paper about how not to dry your clothes to make more people aware of this. If you read your dryer instruction manual it will tell you to let the full cycle run. Please pass this on to others and let them know about this potentially dangerous fact. -----signature----- WoW Ayla Hunter, Lightbringer, Z Guild May the forces of evil become confused while your arrow is on its way to the target. ~George Carlin~ A'yla level 126 UA AC FF www.zguild.org

Seriouslly I bet no one I know knows about this, im about to really use this as like uh I dunno, random talk.. awkward silence Me: "Did you know the cool down period isn't for your clothes, but for your dryer so it doesn't overheat and burn your house down?" Person: blink awkward silence I am gonna use it at bus stops and everything. (BTW this wasn't a shot at you, this is literally what I think im gonna do, I dunno why but atm I feel like is a greaaaaat! idea!!!) -----signature----- Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity The only thing in life achieved without effort is failure Time Circuits...

	good info... shame so many folks are in THAT much of a hurry. We still have to do the same things to survive life these days as (we) did 100 years ago.. take a deep breath & do some time management -----signature----- The One and Only Ary'anna.
