Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Again, is there something psychologically wrong with me?

I dunno - did one of these apply to you?

Ah, must be the cheese doodles.

Can you program what the voice says? That could be fun!

Yes, in some models.

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.

On the rare occasion my dad didn't get up on his own for school, my Baba used to wake him by touching a wet fingertip to his lip.

I think that was the Polish equivalent of a Wet Willie.

Well now I'm going to have another disturbing dream tonight...

I think these work the best...

Hubby's mom used to wake him up as she left for work by calling his name once, and then pouring the milk on his Cheerios.

The worst is when you are in the middle of an awesome dream and your alarm goes off. Every now and then I have a "Disney" dream, where I'm at WDW. Although in my dream it looks nothing like WDW, but somehow I know it is.

Ditto.
It's funny how you just know it's WDW, despite the fact that it looks nothing like reality.

One version of my dream has a candy store right next to Test Track. And the store is pretty much a very well lit, white box with one row of shelves. The checkouts are located right next to the doors.

And now I'm going to sleep. I'll let you know what my dream was about tomorrow, should I remember what happened. Good night!

Good night. Sweet dreams ... even if they are about non-existent candy stores.

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.

Your house is haunted by a ghost that didn't want to get caught smoking indoors.

Dream Disney is always a bit like that Bansky version they had in London last year. Except no one in the dream acknowledges how wrong everything looks.

True that.

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.

We have 5 - one in the basement, 3 on the first floor and 1 upstairs. I would prefer there to be 5 upstairs too - one in each bedroom - but there is one at the top of the stairs and it's a center hall colonial so it's right outside all the bedroom doors. Fire freaks me out as well. Once when I was testing the batteries the one in the living room didn't respond. The batteries were completely dead. I realized they must have gone low when we were away and we didn't hear the beeping. You would think my neighbor that was walking the dog would have but she's a bit kooky. Anyway, now I just change them every 6 months with the clocks. I save those batteries that still have juice to use in the remotes and the wii (ours use AA and AAA batteries).

Good morning. We drove up to Jacksonville (actually St. Johns)yesterday after a quick stop at my brother's. We were driving along the St. John's river right at sunset, so I took a couple of pictures.





Today is probably our last full day here, then we'll leave for Roanoke either tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on how much we get done today. The internet here is pretty unreliable, so I'm not sure if I'll be posting much for the next couple of days.

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!

I slept through a tornado. I was about 8-9 years old. The tornado destroyed a shed on our property and damaged part of our garage. My mom got my sister (who was still up at the time since she was older and had a later bed time) downstairs and was at my door ready to open it and get me downstairs when the tornado had already passed. So we just let me keep sleeping. I woke up in the morning and was surprised at the damage. Our neighbor across the street wasn't as lucky as we were, their house was completely destroyed but I guess they were lucky in the fact that they weren't home at the time.

I've had the WDW dream too. Everything is "different" yet you still know where everything is.

I've never slept through a tornado (knock on wood) but I did "tent" camp through a hurricane in Florida once.

It was way before advance forecast modeling and Weather Apps, etc.

We just thought it was a really bad storm and hunkered down. By the time the rain slacked up enough for us to strike camp, we found out that the hurricane had passed the area and we might as well stay.

My city survived a Sharknado last year.

I don't think ANYBODY can top that.
