Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do we know this?
In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself. "I promised," she says, "that from now on I would write only for the Lord."
Do we care?
Yes.
No.
I could write a novel about the 9-month-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself.
Of course, it would become more difficult once He starts talking.
eta:
And she's used legends of the boy Messiah's miracles from the noncanonical Apocrypha: bringing clay birds to life, striking a bully dead and resurrecting him.
Huh. If Jesus were a boy today, I wonder if he'd bring Spongebob Squarepants to life.

BWAH-HA-HA-HA!
Of course, now I'm assuming they're standard CA issue, and that my apartment's smoke detector is one, and I realise I don't know. Huh.
They came and installed a CO detector in my apartement last year-ish, but I wonder if it was a new City rule, not State. Which wouldn't help Sophia any.
very late for work. slept through 2 hours of radio alarm, woke up crying from awful nightmare involving a cousin being killed and reliving several other family funerals. WTF?!?
In better news, there was no rain for my commute, so that was at least good.
Sophia, is your apartment especially air-tight? CO tends to seep out of most old houses before it builds up to bad levels. It's the newer construction, which is more air-tight than traditional methods, that CO and other toxic gases become a problem.
Also... basement apartments. IIRC, CO is heavier-than-oxygen, so it tends to settle low.
I also can't find any regulations on what the landlord has to provide if I am paying for my own heat. It seems that if he/she is paying for heat, it has to be at least 55 degrees. It would seem to me that if I pay for heat that what I should have is as much heat as I want. I left a message this morning saying that last night, althogh I had the thermostat set to 65, it went down to 54. I also indicated that the big, wall sized heat run which has all sorts of warnings about not touching and getting hot was cold to the touch, and that I could not get my apartment over 60 even by turning the thermostat to 90 . And it wasn't like the heat was coming on and it just wasn't getting any warmer-- the heat really didn't come on.

Thank you! I live in a second floor not very air tight apartment. So I don't have to worry about my kitty all day! Except for him turning into an icicle.
