Q: Whose smoke detectors have been going off for no apparent reason?
A: T-rex's.
No, it's not a joke. Apparently, I wasn't having enough excitement studying.
This happened to me two years ago at 2 a.m., and the fire department ended up coming out, but didn't find anything wrong. They told me to clean them. Well, it's back. Now, I'm not taking about the chirping noise smoke alarms make when their batteries need changing, but rather the full-on alarm. This began in the middle of the night last night (nothing like waking up to a smoke alarm) and happened today a few more times. Those things are so damned loud that if there were a fire, I'd probably burn to death since I wouldn't be able to think straight to find my way out. I figure there is no fire since my house likely would have burned down by now.
There are 5 detectors and when 1 goes off, they all go off. It's like a choir. The only way to disable the suckers is to cut the power to the house. I figured that bugs (I live in Texas) or dust were setting them off, so I busted out my ladder and pulled each one down from my 11-foot high ceiling and cleaned them with compressed air (and changed the batteries). That was fun, especially since I'm afraid of heights. I hope I've solved the problem.
I suppose this is the Universe's way of telling me that it's time to wrap up this CPA nonsense and find a man.
