Not so different from an HOA
June 30, 2009Mean, Green, Burning Machine
June 12, 2009Yes – The smoke detector in the basement requires occasional recharging.
Yes – It is indeed part of the light fixture and is recharged by leaving the light on for an extended period of time.
No – There is nothing else in the house that’s charged by leaving on lights, so it’s just wasteful to leave the hall, stair, kitchen, and bedroom lights on when no one’s around.
I may have turned into “one of THOSE people” (OOTP), but this is purely a money thing (with some OCD thrown in for good measure). Anyone who disagrees can either start running in a wheel to offset the energy consumption of the house or turn off the lights when leaving the room!
Except the one in the basement. I’d like ample warning if the house is about to burn down.
For Your Wandering Pleasure
June 1, 2009We’ve all seen the bad tattoos and we cringed. Now check out the “geeky” Scientific Tattoos and be stumped and in awe all at the same time. I wish I had thought of some of these.
Next is my newest daily entertainment site: Surviving the World. I spent an entire evening reading through the year I missed and have to say that I adore a site that can so effectively capture the horrific perspective of a tree in the fall.
And, last but not least, a preparedness site for those who may need to review their Zombie Plans. Zombiedefense.org offers something for everyone – from the novice to the experienced planner. And it’s entertaining to boot! Although I could have used better timing on the sharing of this site. I received it only a few days after cleaning out a cabinet full of old (and particularly horrible smelling) candles. As I attempted to throw them out, I kept thinking that I’d really regret it if the apocalypse hit anytime soon – especially as I sat in the dark eating cold beans from a can. On the brighter side, now I know that the stench of a bad candle won’t give me away. Here’s to hoping zombies aren’t interested by the comforting aroma of French Vanilla.
