ALMOST BURNT THE HOUSE DOWN
« on: November 28, 2012, 08:43:46 pm »
So the wife has to work tonight and the little ones have church. I was suppose to grill a couple of steaks on the BBQ but I figurered if I cooked them in the oven I might be able to get some sanding done on the cab. I put the steaks in the oven on broil and went out to the garage to get a look at the cab. Then I started an album up on SKJukebox from back when I was 14, Picked up some sandpaper and went to work. Rockedout to BEASTIE BOYS ILL COMMUNICATION for 51 minutes before I remembered the steaks in the oven. Ran back into the house (which was smoked out) and thank God no fire. The dog was actually sleeping on the kitchen floor. I always knew he was useless.

So why didnt your smoke detectors go off?

I might as well just move on to the next question: Why don't you HAVE smoke detectors?
NO MORE!!

everybody has smoke detectors...it's just a matter of:

A: they go off when you have a shower and/or you are a terrible cook so you took the batteries out.

B: The batteries are dead.

when it really comes down to it, i guess we all would rather die horribly than listen to that screeching unnecessarily.

ALRIGHT EVERYONE!

go check them NOW!

Hell no.  I am anal about my smoke/CO2 detectors.  When we were preparing for Hurricane Sandy I swapped out all of my detectors because of the possibility I was going to be heating the house with a kerosene heater I had just bought.  It is rated for indoor use but I'm not taking that chance.  Few things are easier to install/manage than smoke detectors.  Do it!

Stop making excuses!  Test them and check their expiration dates already!  We'll wait here while you do it.

Sooooo a rabbit would do WHAT exactly to warn you in the event of a fire, or pretty much any emergency?


What's that fluffy?  You're giving me a blank stare?  I'll get the extinguisher!

    Rabbits are very smart, and very stupid at the same time, For example, mine is litter box trained, But dont leave herself enough
time to get there, So in a mad dash for the box, she has a accident sometimes... When I work on projects, Minnie me gets the scraps,
you know, bits of wire, boxes, Its actually quite suprising how creative and dedicated to a cause a rabbit can be.

haha that's what I'm talking about. Glass half full - now you have beef jerky!

I find a lot of people are very anal about only eating their steak one particular way. I will eat any steak from pouring out blood all the way to tough as leather. Keeps things interesting.

And yes I've also done the forget the pizza thing

A 3 year old which will poop on the floor as it runs towards you alerting you to the fact that something, somewhere, may be on fire?
