A Non-Emergency 911..




I just had 4 very buff firemen at my house changing the batteries in our high ceiling fire alarms... isn't that cool that they do that? Notice the big ladder there in the great room? I can't believe what a superstitious weirdo I am ... I had to go around it several times.. because I for sure wouldn't go UNDER IT! Everyone knows it's BAD LUCK!!!
So, now we won't have a beeping sound.. of course we ended up with an extra battery from switching out the old.. and the fireman didn't know which one was good.. so I volunteered to do the tongue test (9 volt).. remember when you were a kid and put you tongue in between the 2 silver things on the batteries.. OUCH! It was a lot stronger of a jolt than I remember.. the firemen were all laughing.. I think I have a permanant lisp.. lol!
A big Thankyou to Engine 75 for helping a Damsel in Distress! :)
Look in the last picture.. can you see me in the corner.. yes, that is a little me! :)

Firemen are just awesome, way to go helping a damsel in distress.

Wow, I didn't know they provided that service! Did they come out because you did not know what the "beep" sound was?

How ironic.. as I type the fire alarm in our 4th bedroom is beeping (it has been all day). My RS president/neighbor came over to help me change out the battery, but it's still chirping away. Maybe now I'll have to get some buff firemen over here *wink*

Ha Ha Ha--laughing out loud! You are hilarious! Next time call me so I can come watch, not the firemen, but the battery testing!
