Is your detector on the wall right above your bathroom door, too?

Yeah, pretty much.

I never ever close my bathroom door (unless I have company). How else is the cat gonna go to the bathroom if it needs to? Or, you know, supervise while I shower?

Um, our carbon monoxide detector is outside where the fire department told us to put it, but we'll be plugging it back in later, I promise.

PEOPLE--Get carbon Monoxide detectors and smoke alarms and keep the batteries in them!!!!!!

This is all part of my plan. I figured if I confessed my lack of functioning smoke detector, someone would shame me into doing something about it.

My work here is done.

I used to have a humidity detector until I moved it further from the bathroom and closer to the kitchen. Now it can fulfill it's true destiny and be a smoke detector. My CO detector has been sitting on my dresser (fully operable with battery) since the landlord gave it to me. What is the optimal placement for those?

Mine likes to come in and use the litter box while I'm similarly occupied. She rarely comes in while I'm showering, but has occasionally decided that the bath towel I set on the sink before getting into the shower makes a great sitting cushion and gives me dirty looks when I open the shower curtain and tell her to get off my towel. I then reach my arm over and let it drip on her until she moves.

I never close the bathroom door. Comes from living alone for 8 years, and a bathroom door that had swelled so that it didn't shut easily.

I'm apparently a freak--I usually close the door if I'm showering. I have no idea why.

These days I also close my bedroom door before I go to sleep. Because I bought a clock to put in the bathroom and the second hand is SO LOUD. It's crazy.

Well, what are you supposed to do, if you are on vacation and dont' know your CO detector is going off?

Turn the oven off before you go?

Hmph. LJ and Gmail are both failing me.

I wish to report SOMEWHERE on the lavender jelly I made [link] Unusually for a recipe, and yes, I checked to make sure it was setting correctly, it made 6 half pint jars instead of 5. Tastes fairly good, and I'd suggest it with cheese on crackers. Next time (I have an ungodly amount of cooking lavender on hand--like, most of a pound of it), I think I'll double the amount of lavender in the tea and steep it slightly longer. My only modification this time was a dash of vanilla.

A+, would can with it again.

Note to all: do not put fingers in hot jelly to extract a dropped measuring cup. Just don't. I'm going to ice myself now.
