Chatting on the telephone
With my good friend
You were always there for
When I needed you the most.
Sometimes you need someone to guide you
Through tough times
Whe you're feeling down
Don't underestimate a true friend
With kind words...
It's always nice to know I'll always have
A sholder to cry on
I can't thank you enough for listening to me
And all the advice that you gave me.

Good job! As the wife of a firefighter I can tell you that dryer vent clogs are the #1 cause of house fires in the United States. 🔥 🏠

Yeah, that's not true at all. It's cooking, that's number 1. Dryer lint isn't even in the top 5 causes of house fires. Double check with your FF and the NFPA, like I did.

@Tiffany Holman it is, but lint in dryers is still very dangerous and deadly.
