HOW TO TEST YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR

1. Test your smoke detector once a month.

2. Press the test button on your detector and check that the device beeps or rings loudly.

3. Avoid lighting candles under the detector to see if the alarm goes off. Repeated use of smoke to activate detectors can cause them to fail when a real fire occurs.

So where are we mooting next summer, Corin?

One day of work left. Then nothing to do but wedding-y stuff...

Now I'm an "aggressively independent whiny materialist feminist"?

Alas. What a stupid thread that has turned out to be.... You're tangling with emotionally immature dweebs with so little grounding in reality that they actually think that a 'wife' is a submissive little Ann Coulter look-a-like slave who'll keep the house clean and put out daily on demand. They're better off hiring a maid and/or 'ho - at least until they figure out there's more to a real marriage, a real ~relationship~, than that. Their fixation on a fantasy is sad, scary, and sick. Skip 'em and skip those threads.

.... Hmmm... well, some of that I can manage, maybe, but I sure don't look lik Ann. (thank goodness!) And the vows I'm taking don't actually have the word 'obey' in them... I wonder why not.

They're kind of morbidly fascinating, though.

... It is a basic law of nature, economics, and of marriage that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Those dweebs will pay either way for the goods and services they demand: either with cash, or with love, affection, attention, adoration, selflessness ~and~ respect. In a good marriage, of course, that will be mutual.

No ad link to the one I saw again today.

The temptation is great.

I think you need to apply something directly to their foreheads and it ain't headon.

It's actually the way they're written in the book. I would have be happy with the obey bit.

And I'm really not sure how to take that comment.

LOL!

I'm in a really good mood today, though. So the whole thing has been ridiculously entertaining.

Life is good, and people are fascinating.

We just had a little bird fly in the door, which got a little exciting for a minute. We got the dogs locked in a bedroom, and turned off all the lights, and I was able to catch her by the window and let her back outside.
