When I read about the smoke alarms going off, I must say my first thought was, "What <I>had</I> she been eating?" <BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy/ have enjoyed the wedding.The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-41298304858369907362007-06-23T10:00:00.000-04:002007-06-23T10:00:00.000-04:00I think, on balance, I'd go for the toilet over th...I think, on balance, I'd go for the toilet over the old flame.

I hope not. My husband was of the opinion that I don't know how to flush the toilet, or that my, um, stuff is too strange to flush properly. Then he went and replaced the guts of both toilets. And now they flush delightfully! It was the toilets! Not me! <BR/><BR/>Have fun at the wedding - the old flame business doesn't sound too bad, in this case.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-1597243071069551062007-06-22T18:10:00.000-04:002007-06-22T18:10:00.000-04:00Oh, we've had the overflowing toilet scene at my h...Oh, we've had the overflowing toilet scene at my house several times over the years. We tend to have way more swearing and screaming than laughing, I'm afraid. And yeah, the damned smoke detectors always go off during it.

She had actually told me she wanted to see me get together with A. before she and I got together. And she has the courtesy to live on another coast, so I don't have to deal with her too often.<BR/><BR/>Phantom, thanks for the sympathy. Mostly, I'm annoyed that I have to put all the smoke detectors back.<BR/><BR/>Lo, the water mostly exited the ceiling via the opening for the hallway smoke alarm. Apparently that triggered the entire system. I hope they won't start going off again when I reinstall--but I'm waiting until after Z.'s nap to be on the safe side.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55830807767176233.post-11536899194534113442007-06-22T12:07:00.000-04:002007-06-22T12:07:00.000-04:00I don't get why an overflowing toilet would make s...I don't get why an overflowing toilet would make smoke detectors go off.<BR/><BR/>Our smoke detectors in our old apartment (and I think we probably had about nine of them, too, and you've *seen* our old apartment) went off whenever we dared to, say, cook.
