Firefighters had their hands full fighting this basement fire rapidly extending on Henry St on Jan 9, 09. Watch the 1st lines enter. With temperatures in the single digits and no hydrants, a 2nd alarm was quickly sounded bringing in 8 towns to fight this fire that eventually forced all firefighters to evacuate the building due to heavy fire conditions on all floors and eventually thru the roof.

Real world tests show old style smoke alarms don’t wake people up, but new smoke alarms with your own voice works every time.

It’s getting a bit old. 4 times last week they insisted everybody leave until they inspected the “suspicious” package. All false alarms. One was a box of tortillas, another was 14 pounds of avacados and another was dirty laundry. The forth one we don’t know since they blew it all to h*** in the parking lot.

Now I don’t mind so much about having to scrape avacados, tortillas and shredded clothing off of the parking lot but I do think that I shouldn’t have to pay my empoyess to stand around and cheer every time the Bomb Squad detonates an unknown package.

Add to that the fees the Bomb Squad is going to expect me to pay for each return visit.

It just doen’t seem fair.

PrettyNiki asked:


I had some cables running from the battery to the rear of the car where a sound system had been hooked up. Recently the sound system was sold but the live wires were still sticking out in the trunk. We had the wires pulled out, and disconnected from the battery- after doing so the car wouldn’t start? Any ideas? We disconnected the battery and it restarted an alarm system we’d had years ago on the car- (we do not have a remote anymore). Is there a way to disconnect the alarm ourselves?

I’ve been reading through some stories people have written, both in fanfic and original, and it alarms me that so many male characters have suddenly become pregnant as a result of being with their same-sex lover.

What I want to know (and possibly understand) is the biology behind this phenomenon. How does it work? Is their some strange and magical fiction-based uterus?
