Is there something you do almost every day, without a single problem, then all of a sudden, BAM. The fool thing won't work, won't print, won't do what it's supposed to do? We use a woodstove. I've learned how to start a fire. I can do it everyday. No problem. I know how to stack the wood, small to large, so it will burn. I can get the hugest logs to burn. Today, there is a log inside that stove that refuses to burn. I have restuffed other logs under it, they all go poof. But not that stinking, unmentionable, unprintable, confounded LOG!! It's not even a full log. The silly thing is a fourth. But no, it won't burn. I'm gonna scream!!! I can't even pull it out and throw it away. It's got the tiniest little fire on the opposite end... Has had it since 6 am this morning. Nothing else. AAARRGH!!

This is proof that there are powers in the world we just can't see but they affect our lives, most of the time in the negative. Someone,somewhere has to be laughing at you don't you think. Or maybe it's just a very dense log and will burn very slow. You think?

I wish! (said in a near wail) I've burnt other wood from this tree and didn't have this problem. I'm extremely sure someone out there is laughing at me!! (At least this is good for something!) I do try to please... (I wonder if he has any kind of flamethrower in the garage? Not that he'd let me use it. Won't let me touch hammers either. I tend to get, shall we say, destructive?) :)

I don't know how destructive you are, you treated me OK. Thanks for the award

it must be really hard wood if it is not burning that fast. i would just let that tiny flame work its magic on the log and see waht happens later. stay warm!

I've burnt wood from that same tree. I think this one just has it in for me. It just won't go! I'm gonna wait till it's completely out (may even help it with water!), then throw that bugger out. Stubborn thing!
