We yanked down our old smoke alarm because it was wired into the electrical system and it went off all night, every twenty minutes.
So, while they should just pay for it themselves there seems to be some feeling that we should slap something up to pass inspection.
Hooray for the Internet! I confirmed that the number I found is indeed the VIN for the 69 Mustang in the backyard! I don't know why the Utah DMV doesn't have it, perhaps it just fell out of the system.

The best you can do with a kitchen alarm is have one with an OFF button (yes, they do exist) so you can poke it with a broom if it goes off. Believe me, a lot of fires START in the kitchen so you want one there. It's a bother, but it can save your life, or at least your house from burning down.
(Obligatory reminder: my roommate's mother died in a fire that the presence of working smoke alarms might have saved her from. So it is a Mission with me to be The Person Who Speaks Up About Smoke Alarms.)

What's the upside for spooky lullabies? I just heard [link] and I'm quite perplexed. And it's not like rock-a-bye-baby is full of cheer and promise for a new world.
Last night's dreams were...at first I was just reporting crimes to Hill Street Blues, and then I was a cop who shot rather a lot of people, and then I went underground in the Jamaican mafia, pretending to be a 34 year old woman with a son--I hooked up with multiple shady organisations, and dated both dodgy men and women before my sister almost blew my cover. And then I ended up in Jamaica, still shady as fuck.
Jesse, I think I am going to die. I don't get the excuses, but I get the "hey" all the time, so it makes me laugh.
ita- that lullaby is the spookiest thing ever. All I can think of is maybe children used to die so frequently, their parents thought of them like ghosts?

Ha, that strikes me as the kind of lullaby designed to keep your kid in bed during the night instead of getting up constantly.
