I’m hoping the nabes all took their sleepy-bye meds and didn’t wake up when I just set the smoke detector off again–cooking during hours when the lease rules say residents must be Quiet (10pm till 8am)🙄

Some places I’ve lived I couldn’t hear the nabes unless they were shooting off fire works. Others, I can pretty much make out every fight they had. Whatever you were cooking may it be delicious.

Hi Frank😊–The thing is, I live in HUD housing–for which I’m hugely grateful everday–and there are all kinds of rules, and I’m definitely a “go by the rules person”. BUT, the other thing is that there are 3 smoke detectors in this very small (cozy) 3 room apartment–and they’re unbelievably sensitive…so it’s a constant issue, regardless what time folks are cooking.
And it’s true that most of the neighbors (and myself) have health issues requiring Rx meds–so, odds are good that I didn’t wake anyone, but I’ll be more diligent in future!

By his stripes we were healed. Command your body (and those of your neighbors) to get the message and recover completely as I am commanding them to now.

Yes, but from now on I’ll only do sandwiches during hours when “normal” people are sleeping. Thanks much for reading and your fun comment!!🤗

Sandwiches sounds like a safe solution. I’ve set off our smoke detectors before — that noise in the middle of the night would be a lot!!

Sandwiches it is! …or cookies, or fruit 😁

Oh, no, that’s so embarrassing, but I’ve done it many times. I’ve found people to be understanding though. Fingers crossed!
