FIRE! GAS! "HUBBY!?!"

A very unexpected post and situation, but let me assure you, all is well, except my cook-top. Appliance shopping, here we come! Electric this time.... definitely! House came with a Gas cook-top....

So I am cooking supper this evening, later than usual, have two burner going, go to turn on the third one and it makes a funny noise, so I turn it off. But, it would not turn off, and then I smell gas, and I turn off the rest of the elements...Better to be safe than sorry! Still making a clicking noise as if to lite and element... I'm smelling gas, I'm turning knobs back and forth to find out which is the problem, it keeps clicking.... HUBBY HELP! Of course I am thinking we are going to blow or something terrible like that. He plays with the knobs, nothing will stop...he lifts the little cap off of what we think is the offending burner, and there is the little spark clicking away... still smelling some Gas, and I am worried now! All of a sudden smoke is coming from under one of the knobs... the fire, Hubby runs out for whatever and down the stairs.... I grab a dirty container full of water out of the sink and throw it on the flames.... big mess, still smoking some... DH comes upstairs saying that her turned the gas off to the cook-top, and turns off the electricity.... I took the drawers out from under the cook-top and unplug the damn thing anyway! Turns out that the breaker he turned off what to the oven anyway.... Just what I needed today! NOT! I am sooooo thankful that DH was home!!! I wouldn't have known where to turn off the gas!!!

But now we have a mess to clean up, which DH says leave it! I'm ripping it out and chucking it anyway... ...?... Definitely electric for the next one....
