Safety tips for oldie newbies. I have been a safety nut for more years then I care to remember. Whether in
the home, at work, at play or in the car I preach and practice safety. Oldie Newbie has collected tips from many different
sources but many of them are from experience. I have a respect for fire and smoke and I check around the house, especially
before going to bed, for anything that might be wrong.When I'm using the oven or stove top, I use a timer to alert me
to check the cooking process.
