~ PMP Moments~
Well it was for a few minutes today a PMP moment.. And I
for one do NOT like them at all.. In case you dont know what
a PMP Moment is... hmm well..lets see..Its one of those things
that happens all of a sudden and scares you REALLY BAD?.
and your butt tightens up, you kinda GULP...and you have a Pee
MY Pants Moment ?? :-) Lord..IHATE those...They just make
your heart just pound all of a sudden and you don't for a split second
know just WHAT to do FIRST...I HATE those...
Well today,I am all involved on the computer and the apartment building
smoke alarm goes off with a flashing light, and loud BUZZZZ...well
fooey.. I go rolling out to the door..looking for the boys of course to
see where they are.. Not knowing should I try to hem them up first..
then check to see what is going on...Which I should have made them
safe first ..to be honest, and they are running TO the door...
Anyway.I roll up to the door to the hallway..peek out thru the little peek
hole ...and see the lady across the hall peeking out her door..so I open
MY door a little, I hear coming down the hall apartment to apartment..
"ITS ONLY A TEST!" The lady across the hall says "HUH? well WHY
didn't they tell us?" I just shook my head..and closed the door, BUT this
sure has got me to thinking..AGAIN.. ok ok don't say it.."ARRRGHHH
here SHE goes AGAIN " :-) lol... What was wrong with this picture?...
Well..first.yes.they should have informed us.but.what else? I DO NOT
have ANY renters insurance..FIRST and.I just went..unlocked my door.
and opened it..What if there was someone set the alarm off? was out in
the hall? This made me stop and think...The lady across the hall did too..
And what if there was a fire out there and by us opening our doors would
feed it..and the whole place go up? ...This is something that gave me
cause for pause you know? What should I exactly do- if that bloody alarm
does go off for real?
I think I should have put the boys safely in the bathroom where their
carrier is..hem them up in there..THEN..go and see if the hall is full of
smoke..and take it from there.. They dont have any sort of fire drill thing
here.. There are 2 entrances.. but both on the same end of the apt..
down on this end..are only the 2 bedroom windows in here...Makes me
really think.The other tennants are all disabled too you know-in ALL sorts
of ways if you know what I mean? But seriously,I think I need to do some
thinking about this... AND first thing tomorrow I AM calling to get some
insurance.I dont have nuthin.but if I had to replace it would cost me alot..
and Penny's HAS been burgled..she lives next door... I hope I never get
robbed..but you know the famous saying.."stuff" happens....better to be
safe than sorry..If you have a family member or friend lives alone and
in a apt.make sure they have a plan of escape.its really NOT a bad Idea.
They could have warned us tho..that wasnt fair, I bet everyone in here
today had a PMP moment..just like me and if they say no ..well I DONT
believe them..:-)
I bet ,, well I KNOW...I am NOT the only one who's heart about falls out
when they hear any kind of alarm go off...its a scarey thing.. but I need to
get organized.. plan of attack like I do when I want to move or do some
thing here .. I have to plan how I am going to accomplish things.. and to
get the boys in the bathroom at the same time when a smoke alarm goes
off is NOT easy..I HAVE set MINE off and LB runs HOWLING under the
bed.lol...Ok ok I admit it..I have done some ..well not real bright things..
I told you I have the knobs taped down to my back burners so I dont
turn them on...wellll thats why lolol...makes my smoke detectors go off.
lol..well? "Stuff Happens"...:-) I need a plan of attack. :-)
And whats happenin NOW? yup..I sent Rae to the store today..and she
got some Strawberry Fig Newton Cookies..And I tried one a while ago..
well...guess where I am headed? lol..Thanks for all your great comments
and kind sweet words..Y'all just make my day...I HOPE you know that..
Anyways.. lets be safe...hunker down..get all snuggly warm...find a good
show to watch...have a snack..and then FALL ASLEEP lolol...what ?
thats what I DO..:-) nite all...
Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV YA & THANKS!!!!! :-)
Always, Lois****

I've been wondering for hours what you would write today.
That sure was a wake-up call. I'm glad everything turned out OK. They really should have a safety program in place. I'm involved distantly with licensing some sorts of residential places, and we have pretty strict rules about drills and communication. It sounds like you are on the cusp of your own personal plan.
Are you able to get "the boys" to go into the bathroom? I can't do that without a lot of trouble with my two cats unbless I bribe them with food.

I used to have oofice space at Penn Plaza in NYC. They always notified us when they were going to test the system. As I look back on my years there - here are 2 funny elevator stories.
There are cctv cameras in all the elevators. One dull day a bunch of us were in the lobby watching the cctv when one of the bike messengers since he was in a car alone decided to dance wildly. Since the elevator was going express - he went wild - when the elevator got to the lobby - the approving large audience applauded wildly.
The otherstory involved a party in a elevator - more next time.

Dearest Lois!
I am not afraid of anyone or anything (except you know who)... BUT im scared to death by the thought of my home in flames, or any place in flames. Thinkin of you in that situation is a horrible thought. My dearest Lois burned.... Or her home in flames including her computer, with no chance to tell all her fans of what had happend to her. Think if you just disappeared from us.... Gone up in smoke and flames.... Oh what would we do?
So honey beware of smoking in bed (or any sort of smoking) Cuz u r the best we have on the net!
No smoking, no burning candles, no fried potatoes, and no matches.
But keep the flame in your heart, and the heat you preserve for us with your daily postings.
The only matches that is allowed for you is the matching with us admirers!
Written with flaming cheeks of love...

My Dear Lois,
Like Bob says, no Lois just doesn't bear thinking about, so please take care.
Would it be possible to have a word with your local fire dept.? I bet they would advise you on a course of action in the case of an emergency. They might bend the ear of the twitt who had a fire practice without notifying you all. That almost beggars belief.
So, Like I said, please take care of my favourite Weeble. Lots of love and hugs from
Raife

Hi Raife, I could do that, but I think my best plan would be to just stay in my bedroom and close the door.. and wait.. see what happens.. Usually this is where I am all the time..lol. But it sure is worth a thought ..AND.. ive only lived here 4 years...Boy, am I SLOW or what?? :-) More than ONE Twitt lol... *tweet tweet* :-) do Twitts Tweet? :-) I didnt finish my nap can you tell? :-)
Hope your havin a good day...
Always, Lois ****
