LOLOLOL. I just tested our alarm system on the house. This is actually the first time I've tested it since we had the new "Prime Cell" system installed (this one uses cell technology so you don't have to have a land line). I called Protection One and had them walk me through a test and it was so funny.............the minute the siren started to wail, all 6 cats went scrabbling for cover, leaving claw marks on the floor. I think a couple of them might have actually used up a few of their nine lives on this one. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "We had a wonderful time last night. Ended up getting about 50 kids at the door and yes, we tried very hard not to hack, sneeze, blow or just plain germ away the kids. Most of them were so cute in their costumes. And the weather was perfect for Halloween..........chilly, windy but clear! Today, it's back to normal but it's sunny out and I think we had our first killing freeze. We'll have to wait and see on that but the water in my front birdbath was frozen this morning and that's actually the measure I use to gauge the temp - - - more so than an actual thermometer. We're supposed to get up to about 60 today and that's pretty normal.......and perfect." on 7:22:07 am, Thu, 11/01/07

Sounds like you scared the be-jeebes out them Sandy!! LOL!!!
Glad the alarm worked so well...now if (god-forbid) something happens, does it call directly into the company and police? (NT) -- Kate, 9:19:03 am, Thu, 11/01/07
I can just about imagine how they must have ran...I know how Maggie bolts when I change the batteries in our smoke detectors and then check to make sure they are installed correctly!! (NT) -- Kate (again), 9:20:04 am, Thu, 11/01/07
Oh, geez, Kate, thank you SO much for reminding me. I *always* change our batteries when we change time but I'm making out the grocery list right now and I need to add batteries to the list. It's kind of strange...........the smoke detectors don't bother the cats at all but the siren for the alarm sends everybody running. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:35:03 am, Thu, 11/01/07
That is always when I change our smoke detectors too Sandy....so I'll be buying my batteries tonight for our house and my Dad's..... (NT) -- Kate, 11:28:17 am, Fri, 11/02/07
Actually, should the alarm go off, it automatically calls a "Call Center," and they call to make sure the call is legit. Then they call the police or fire department, depending on what's going off here at home. There IS a panic code on the panel that goes immediately to the police department with no call center intervention first. We had our first alarm system installed in '94, when the couple next door separated after he got involved in drugs. I'll tell ya, that was scary. I ended up skulking around at night, getting license plate numbers and that kind of stuff, for the police but it still took two years to get him out of here. It was finally the fact that the house was repossessed/foreclosed on that got him out of here. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:33:00 am, Thu, 11/01/07
