OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

I agree Ducky. "A man he works from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done." Love, Jean

Welcome back M0mmy! I wondered if you were ok.

Been crazy busy this weekend. Getting ready to go to bed and thought I would pop on.

Was going to come on earlier, but our smoke alarms went off in our house. My goodness those things are loud. We had no idea why they were blaring. DH changed the battery in the loudest one, and it seems to have helped. Sure hope they don't go off in the middle of the night!!

Here is my funny for the night.

Ducky, I was watching Dateline last night and they were talking about giving hemp oil to children for seizures. It's called Charlotte's Web and is made in Colorado. In some cases it eliminated the child's seizures all together, and they no longer take seizure medications. It made me think of Stella. It made me wonder if dongs can take it. Maybe your daughter can ask the vet next time they are there. It was truly amazing how it changed some of the children's lives.

Sorry nomatterwhat, but the devilish side of me made me do it:

 "The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah....."

lol  

PTS, I know they are needed but they drive me crazy. I hate when they start chirping and you can't figure out which one has the problem. We try to change the batteries in all of them every 6 months or so, but sometimes that doesn't even keep them quiet. When they go off in the middle of the night, it's so tempting to take an axe to them!!

Slow, I agree, last time mine went off I basically destroyed the thing.  I need to remind myself to call the guy in advance to change them up before that happens

I live in attached town homes and years ago I woke up one morning to the sound of fire trucks, a unit in the next cul de sac burned down!  the units to the left and right were damaged just by the smoke and water.

PTS.. Ugh.. Not a false alarm for the poor people in the units near you :-(

Thanks, Mommy, my husband and I had a good laugh with that one!!!!

Slow, my exterminator says that ants draw towards electric boxes (i.e. the boxes housing the wiring of the smoke alarms).  They come up the foundation, go under the brick on the front of the house, go up a stud in the wall, across the stud in the ceiling in a conga line, all the while drinking and one falls off the conga line and down through the smoke alarm setting it off.  We not only have the house sprayed for ants, we go out front and dig in the rock and pour ant killer down the front of the foundation.  We have fought these damn things for three years and yes, we have learned that they all must be the same company and kind.  We even have the same kind of batteries and replace them every January 1. 

I sprayed his ass to the smoke alarm to show  my exterminator!!!!! 

I have seen the "I will never shut up" face.  In fact, last Sunday we were awaken to the "chirp" noise about 6:30 a.m. (and I am not a nice morning person), we searched and searched.  We took all the smoke alarms down, took all the batteries out and even shut the breaker off and still....."chirp".  We forgot about the carbon monoxide alarm and it was the culprit.  I wanted to throw the thing in the fireplace and light it, but I didn't!!!!  Whatever chirps next will not live to tell about it!!!!!! 

Problem we have had is spiders causing the house alarm to go off.We

need to put these near our alarms.

Or we need need a swat team

oh yes, please send the swat team, my house is the one with the door sign with squirrels on it

hmmmm, swat team is very appealing

Can the swat team come by and swat my hubby? Love, Jean

Was just checking in and saw many, many posts complaining about false smoke alarms. My immediate thought was "who would complain about a bunch of firemen showing up to make sure you're safe?" My second thought was "why do those darn false alarms always happen while we are sleeping?"

Yep, I have my priorities right... hot men, then sleep. ;-)
