I hate smoke alarms.
I know I need to work on my cooking.
You don't have to remind me with an ear-splitting buzzer for half an hour straight.

sweetie, why didn't you take the battery out? i mean, if your cooking is causing the smoke, take the battery out while you're working (because *everyone*, while cooking during their lives, ends up setting that thing off a couple times) ... then put it back in after you're done. it helps to have someone fan the smoke alarm, too. a clip on fan might help there. then again, some are just really touchy. :p

hehehehe. andrew cute moment of today.

There's a very simple explaination -- I live in a dorm, they don't allow that. Ie, there's no way for me to get at the batteries.

And it's not that I have a tendancy to burn things, just forget them -- that is, I forgot to turn the fan on over the oven, so when I went to cook the beef, the smoke from cooking meat set it off.

you know, after i'd posted the comment, i figured that there was probably no logical way for you to take the battery out. which reminded me that the next time i'm out shopping, the battery from mine needs replaced. about a week ago it started beeping every few minutes ... i guess some wacky warning that the battery was getting too low. so... yeah.

::giggle:: i didn't figure you'd burned anything, really. just wanted to tease. ^__~ you did leave the teasing card open for play, afterall.

mmmmm, cheesesteaks. but dude, no cheese. the heck? why on earth NOT? you MUST have cheese! ::ahem:: it is goooooooood. :)
