No, but eventually I'm going to have to add something more to my resume.

I missed these celebrations. I've been absinthe all day.

My personalities took a vote. It was 7-1 for "no."

There's always a renegade in the group isn't there?!?! That's why we can't have nice things!
I took a pole of my group... it was no, yes, maybe, probably not and tomorrow if I get the car! There's no hope for that last one.
You might have been absinthe, but I think one of your other personalities was on earlier...

Add to the mystery of the missing ceiling tiles another head-scratcher - two missing smoke detectors.
Anyway, the law in Ontario is one smoke detector per floor. With this house being a 5-level back split, three smoke detectors ain't gonna cut it.
Went to Lowe's and picked up a smoke/fire alarm for the bottom basement, and a smoke/CO detector for the next level.
Hubby has installed them, and I will sleep soundly tonight ... if my ears ever stop ringing from testing them that is.

You know the experts say you should conduct family fire drills. I think about 2:30 in the morning would be a good time to fire one of those puppies off.
There was one night I was in a very, very deep sleep, and the detector in my room went off because the batteries were low. I remember the piercing sound very vividly. The first thing I thought (I was still in sleep mode, but heard the sound) was that I was dead. Not sure what dream was taking place to make me think that, but it's honestly what I thought! Then I realized what was going on and everything was okay again.
And one night when I was a lot younger, probably middle school age, the alarm in my room went off because of low batteries. I remember hearing it for a couple seconds, then I just fell back to sleep. And I remember hearing my parents in the corner of my room where the alarm was taking care of it, but I wasn't conscious at all.
Weird that the alarms only go off at night and that I can remember what was happening, even though I wasn't fully conscious for either event.

I know!She'll be up, so it won't really bother her.
Speaking of sleeping and dreams, last night I had a flashback to a 6th grade field trip. We were walking around a quarry looking for rocks. I remember telling someone to watch out for cow "leftovers", since my teacher told us that when we took the actual trip. Then something took a weird turn, and it got cloudy and gloomy. It had a feeling similar to the final few Harry Potter movies. Not exactly sure what took place, but I remember it being like a horror movie, although I wasn't scared.
Is there something psychologically wrong with me?

True that.She'll be up, so it won't really bother her.
This is going to sound silly, but my heart is literally still pounding just from testing them. As you may recall me sharing, my mom, brother Terry, and I nearly died in a fire in 1970.
I am very fire cautious. Within one hour of noticing that two smoke detectors were MIA, I had them replaced. It always makes me weep when you hear of families (children especially) dying in house fires, where there were no smoke detectors - or worse yet, disabled detectors or detectors with no batteries. That's just nuts.

When I wake from a disturbing dream, I always try to rationalize what the dream meant and what my subconscious is trying to tell me.Speaking of sleeping and dreams, last night I had a flashback to a 6th grade field trip.

And if that fails to allay my fears, I revert to my 5-year old self and ask Jesus to chase the bad dreams away. Either way, it works 99% of the time. For the remaining 1%, I just nudge Hubby awake and snuggle in.
DW was telling me that they have done studies that show that young children do actually sleep through the smoke alarm - which backs up @PUSH's experience.
The disturbing dreams are always the most vivid for me, and they kind of intrigue me in an odd sort of way. Not that I like them, but they are always engaging.
Again, is there something psychologically wrong with me?
My mom always used to tell my brother and me that we would sleep through a tornado if it came through our house. Fast forward several years and we didn't sleep through one, but we stood in our living room through one and didn't even realize it was a tornado!DW was telling me that they have done studies that show that young children do actually sleep through the smoke alarm - which backs up @PUSH's experience.

Studies have shown that children and adolescents in Stage 4 sleep respond better to a speaking voice, hence the proliferation of triple-priced "voice alarms" that alternate between the usual piercing alarm and a voice shouting.DW was telling me that they have done studies that show that young children do actually sleep through the smoke alarm - which backs up @PUSH's experience.
Can you program what the voice says? That could be fun!
When I was younger I couldn't wake up to an alarm, so my mom had to wake me, and my brother, up every morning for school. And now the last thing I want when I wake up is someone's voice telling me what time it is. Although the sound of an alarm isn't spectacular either. But at least I can lay in bed for 5 minutes without someone asking if I heard them.
