I didn’t think about using it for my ashes, though. It’s a great idea and I will run it by Sweet Tea. I would suggest a place to put you’re dog’s ashes be somewhere near a tree. You know how much dogs love a tree – or a fire hydrant, or a gate post, or a car tire, or just about anything that looks like it needs watering.<BR/><BR/>simply amethyst, welcome to the Deep South from the Midwest. Stop by anytime. I didn’t know what was happening. I was fixing my specialty, instant coffee, while I was moving the wash from the washer to the dryer when the buzzer went off. I finished what I was doing and went to the oven. Steam came out and the coffee had boiled half out of the cup. The only way the thing would turn off was if I left the door open. But even with that, it still went heels up. But after twenty five years, I couldn’t complain. She had been a good loyal part of the family. And she was missed all the way up till she was replaced.<BR/><BR/>I’m glad yours “recovered.” I guess it was the “loose nut” on the outside of the button that was the problem.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601474604616163167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-63339400947254606142007-09-10T10:53:00.000-04:002007-09-10T10:53:00.000-04:00I thought I cooked mine the other day...
