YOU! yeah you-CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE ALARM

[underpants]

If you forgot to do it yesterday change the batteries in your smoke alarm and don't give me any of that "I don't think the old one is done yet" because you will be crying at 2 AM when it DOES run out and your PJ's is burning.

Comply.

1. Mine's less than a month old

2. I have electonic smoke alarms...

connected to a central detection centre.

I don't think I have to worry about batteries. :)

[kick-ass-bob]

4. what if the fire starts in the electical box?

and the power goes out before the alarms go off?

:scared:

[Mutley]

12. I can vouch for this!

It is no fun when your first warning of a fire is black smoke coming out of the ventilation system.

[underpants]

13. Yah! you punks SEE I told you

Stupid punks.

Glad you are okay Mutley

Enjoy this free Jesus O'Lantern

[Mutley]

Yeah I'm fine.

It was five years ago and the fire was mostly contained to my roommate's room who started the fire in the first place. So, it wasn't so bad.

Thanks for the Jesus O'Lantern. :rofl:

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. I changed mine last month

we do it whenever we change the ones in the garage door opener (I know, weird time marker... but it works for us).

[underpants]

17. Change them again

and don't even ACT like you didn't hear me the first time :grr:

[miss_kitty]

18. I have a 5 year used-for-chemo-pumps battery in

and it gets tested every time I burn the toast!

[underpants]

19. Good. Now change the battery

NOW dammit!

[miss_kitty]

20. it's only 6 months old

I don't have to yet!

[matcom]

21. put up a brand new detector yesterday

WITH new battery.

will.not.comply.

[underpants]

26. AM or PM? this is important

AM BEFORE you changed the clocks (the clock on the stove is the official house clock unless it doesn't work in which according to the 22nd amendment the biggest one nearest the main TV is the official one unless you are one of them "reader" freaks in which case you probably don't work anyway so who gives a rip if you are late) or AM after changing the locks (see official clock protocol above in thread.

22. smoke alarm?

but I don't smoke. What do I need an alarm for? :think:

You know how those things beep at you when the battery needs to be changed? I kept putting it off and the SOB beeped at me for a year before my bro-in-law finally changed the battery. I say if the tanjed thing has enough power to beep every ten minutes then there is still some battery power there.

[SoCalDem]

23. Mice chew electrical wire inside walls.. Ya just never know ..n/t

[hfojvt]

27. sound like I better get a mouse alarm

Not only did I change the batteries in both smoke detectors, I changed the one in the carbon monoxide detector as well.

30. Well, how many poopy diapers have you changed today?

Although since your kiddo is still quite young and mine is 3, you may have changed more.

And my furnace only needs new filters once a year :)
