Only the refrigerator. It has an alarm that goes off when you leave the refrigerator door open, & I forget it. I feel sorry for my neighbors. Hugs, AnneKristine 🩷

Jim has left doors open so the dog got out. Fortunately it doesn't happen often. Just every once in a while he forgets that he needs to close the door behind himself.

I have left quite a few cabinet doors wide open. My worst was when I forgot to close the dishwasher door. Later I went into the kitchen with just the night lite on and I walked in and fell right over it. Hurt like the dickens, but no serious damage. Lots of bruises, but I always have a lot of bruises and don’t know how I got them. 😆
