The mere reminder of Ryan's existence makes my day better, every time. That cute little smiling face!!
Some smoke detectors go on heat, some on particulates, IIRC. So steam or dust can set them off. I had one that would go off every freaking time I boiled water, so I took it down.
amyth, I was trying to remember when you moved out, and it took me a good minute to remember who my roommate was after you. And I still don't know when you moved to the compound. 2009, I think?
The dealer won't patch my flat because it's too close to the edge, so I have to get that one plugged, too, because I really don't want to replace 6-month old tires. So now this afternoon I have to get a ride to my house, get a credit card, get a ride across the river, pick up my car, either get the tire plugged or ride back over on a donut (less than ideal), feed the animals, walk Frankie, change clothes, and go practice my recycled bead pitch from 5:30 to 8:30. Nooooo problem.
I also discovered yesterday that my new credit union doesn't do ATM deposits. WTF year is this, 1991? I think I'm going to need to switch banking again, dammit. It's just too hard to get to a bank during business hours, even though I get off at 4:30 pm. They don't have many branches, and I don't think there's one on the side of town I work in.
