I was woken up this morning (very early) by my CO2/smoke alarm. As I tried to change the batteries and make it stop telling me low battery-it was freaking the dog out- beep beep.
I started realizing how may items this year have gone over the “ use by date” My fridge broke down, the microwave caught fire, the batteries in both cars, the garage door opener, sprinklers and the whole air conditioning system. And now I’m learning how to replace all the smoke alarms.
I guess it’s time for me to try everything again 😁 So with humor and joy I will share this song with all of you- never give up hope and keep on trying everything you can do!!
sorry about all the things that have gone wrong or broken , but thank you for the inspiration. Even a little song can help us through one more day. Stay strong for as long as you can and try everything!
Well it must be that time in life or the replace battery gods are just active.
One of my yearly summer chores is to replace the smoke alarm batteries. I have learned over the years that I need to do that before the snow comes and the 16’ ladder that I store outside is buried. I need that to do two rooms. The others I can do with a normal size ladder from my garage.
This year I also decided to replace the actual alarms. They have been in place some 20 years and thought that might be a good idea. This is a scary operation in those two high ceiling rooms since I need to be almost at the top of that ladder to reach the alarms. Figure that will be my last time to replace the alarms.
Just last weekend we had guests staying in our guest house and the garage smoke detector there started beeping. It drove their dog crazy. They barely heard it. Luckily it was in the afternoon.
yep, I have changed many a battery 😜 however I know now it’s the alarms themselves… almost 10 years old. Good news for me though, my neighbors alarms expired before mine and they had all the info on which ones to look for at the store. This time no batteries to replace 😎 got the ones with the 10 year battery built in. There was also a video on YouTube on how to replace them. Now I’m just waiting for the new ladder so I can reach the ceiling without worrying about falling down.
Sounds alarming lol. I had posted a different reply a couple days ago, but it quickly degenerated into crap, dunno if you saw it for the brief time I left it up. Figured no croaker needed to see those thoughts , just say’in. Proabout 3 a.m. and I wasn’t feeling very good.
Anyway , love your efforts to get in here and change the narrative to something benign and funny, I for one, appreciate it…. Thanks for the nice thoughts and efforts
This is most alarming...... to us men, that is....
One night as you finish brushing your teeth, you realize you just used your wife's tooth brush by mistake (even though they're color coded). So what should we do?
a. Leave sleeping dogs lie, and don't ever mention it?
b. Mention your mistake and blame it on your Pca?
c. Buy her a present and spill the beans?
d. Wait until you are attending a festive occasion where easting and DRINKING is par for the course, then mention it in private.
e. Tell her a funny joke about some dufuss mixing up tooth brushes and laugh until you cry. If she laughs too, then confess, otherwise MUMs the word.
