Death came silently!

Finally, time to blog!

Normally I would be working, but my arm hurts right now, so today I stayed home, which gives me time to write and to blog, yay for me! 

Today in Germany three children died due to carbon monoxide poisoning, the mother was revived and is in critical condition. Her husband wasn't at home when the drama unfolded. This incident made me think back and I realize that I was very lucky to survive carbon monoxide in my home. Carbon monoxide is inodorous and invisible. You don’t smell nor can you see carbon monoxide, it hits you, you die, never knowing what happened. You fall unconscious and eventually you die, if you don’t get found in time, that is! 

It was fall when I started to heat my house again and guess what, yep my home filled with carbon monoxide. I of course didn’t know at first. But when I saw my dog lying unconscious and I myself felt very dizzy, I knew something was very wrong. I immediately opened all doors and windows, then I dragged my dog (he weighed more than I did) outside so he would get fresh air. The dog and I were outside for something when I finally got my bearings and started to make phone calls. It turned out the chimney was sealed off by a large piece of tar. All through the summer the piece of tar laid on the chimney and because of the summer heat it was like super-glued to the chimney. So, the toxic gases were traced directly back into my house through the chimney instead of being vented to the outside. Thank god my dog survived the incident too.

Edit:

The now suspect the mother of murdering his three children, she will be arrest!
