If you are thinking of a home improvement project that may involve linseed oil we have a warning for you!
A first- hand experience with linseed oil made me realize how dangerous it can be if not used properly.
It all started very innocently. The fireplace in my house has a black slate hearth and the linseed oil works beautifully to keep it looking like new. Well, I decided it needed some attention and wiped it down with a linseed soaked paper towel. Then I proceeded to put the paper towel in a plastic garbage can in the garage along with some other trash.
That evening when I returned home I noticed a burning odor in the garage but it was slight and I went into the house for dinner. A few hours later before I went to bed I decided to check the garage just to make sure everything was okay. Well, to my surprise, there was still a burning odor and the garbage can was beginning to melt. I quickly dragged it outside onto the driveway. Fortunately, I had a fire extinguisher and used it to spray the can. What luck that I checked out the garage before going to bed!
What caused the problem?
Placing a linseed oil soaked towel in an enclosed container can cause spontaneous combustion to occur. The process can start without any outside interference. Through oxidation the linseed oil generates heat and when put in the plastic garbage can it began to get really hot. For the process to occur, the rags need both a confined space and some oxygen.
A few years ago my husband and I visited the remains of Jack London’s house in California. The house was destroyed by a fire around 1917. Arson was suspected but never proved. However, recently forensic experts determined that linseed oil soaked rags left by some people working on the property caused spontaneous combustion to destroy the house. https://jacklondonpark.com/wolf-house/
How do you properly dispose of rags containing combustible materials?
Well, you certainly do not want to put them in a garbage can! Experts recommend soaking them with water and spread them out on a flat surface so they can dry. Or they can be dried in an open, ventilated area. The problem occurs when the oil in the rags begins to oxide and produce heat but there is not enough ventilation to dissipate the heat.

March 11, 2021March 6, 2021Taping Phone ConversationsMarch 6, 2021By Shirley Rooker, President, Call For Action, Inc.
If you are receiving abusive phone calls, you may be tempted to tape them, but it may not be legal. In some states one party to a telephone conversation can tape record the conversation without the other party’s consent? However, in other states you are usually required to advise the person or persons on the other end of the line that the call is being recorded. Otherwise you may face criminal penalties. Calls from another state may be subject to the laws of both states.
So, if you are tempted to tape that call from the debt collector, just keep in mind it might be illegal. However, maybe it would be enough to just tell the abusive caller that you are taping the conversation. That might put the brakes on abusive calls.
