How do homeowners leave the house?
Having lived in a shared living situation most of my life, I’m starting to wonder how people leave their houses in the morning. When I left this morning, I had all sorts of nagging doubts about whether I turned the stove off, whether I had locked all the doors, whether I had turned the water (underneath the bathroom sink) off…
I’ve lived in an apartment with just myself and Blondie before, but of course, thats a little different — if something catches fire or starts flooding — you’ll probably hear about it.
I should set up more webcams at home.

before leaving the house in the morning, i douse it with gasoline, light myself a cigarette, and toss the lit match behind me. the effect of walking away from a conflagration every morning adds a little excitement to the otherwise dreary task of commuting to work.
of course, this means that i need a new apartment every day, but it’s a small price to pay, i think.
You can get X11 automation modules so that all your electrical outlets are controllable remotely.
Webcams can go down, etc.
The US Army has their Predators and Global Hawaks… You should get a Slanty2D, tape a cell phone, and a camera to his head, and send him to do your biding. Maybe an electric shocker if he starts checking out the neighbour’s kids. You could even replace the Slanty2D module with a host of other modules.
Fix the Sink, Don’t cook Breakfast, and get you a digital dead bolt that automatically locks after 15 minutes.
Other then that I wouldn’t worry about. I know I don’t, if someone breaks in and steals all my stuff it will be like the insurance fairy came and visited me.
ha ha ha, insurance fairy. Funny.
But seriously, insurance companies scare the crap out of me. So your insurance fairy would be more like a 300 pound Commercial drive dyke with an eleven inch strap on dildo to me.
Me: “My house was burned down by a guy named Gan because he came running into my house with flamming poo on his shoes.”
Insurance Demon: “And your telling me because……”
Me: “I want you to give me money. I was insured for that. SPECIFICALLY THAT.”
Demon: “no.”
Me:”But it says right here tha…”
Demon:”no. Go away.”
You live in a strange, strange world Wolf…
…and on a side note, I just ended watching the movie “Earthquake”. One of my favorite scenes was the quake had just ended, someone came running out of their house smoking a cigarette, and someone off camera yells “Hey! Better go in and turn off the gas!”. The guy runs back into his house and BLAAAM-O!!! It’s 24601’s worst nightmare of an exploding house!
Of course, 24601′d have to take up smoking….but I think that’s a small sacrifice for such high comedy.
Man, didn’t the guy realize that you’re not supposed to go into the house to turn off the gas?? You turn off the gas at the gas main box on the outside of your house…
Slanty(I wasn’t talking to you ref)BJ:
But that wouldn’t be nearly as funny.
I wasn’t talking to you, Wolf….
Bathroom is now fixed. Note to self — unless you have to, never, ever ever touch anything thats working. Especially if its old and probably hasn’t been disturbed in years…
Ended up replacing faucet pipe, washers and a valve…
