Monsters
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"What's that noise, Daddy?" Just something on TV, baby.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"It sounds like somebody drinking something." Sounds like a back-hoe or some other large truck backing up to me. "Don't worry about it, Rio." I'm trying to get to bed.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"I think it is a monster or something." There are no monsters here, Rio.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Slide into bed. Wait a cotton pickin minute. Where's the Guardian?
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Oh shit.....
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I have left her on the kitchen table when I checked my two-hour post evening snack (and Rio made sugar cookie repair bolus). I went back to posting and left it there. What an idiot! For three weeks she’s never been out of reach. I even remember to snag her off of the night stand when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But today, I just walked out of the kitchen and left her lying there. Oh well, thank God it wasn’t at a restaurant!
She's lost telemetry, and calibration. She's been calling for help for half and hour. Quick search to link up again. A re-calibration and by the time I'm done writing this....Click....191. We are back in operation! Be sure to tell Daddy right away the next time you hear the monster!

Ellen--this alarm won't go off until the system has missed three "reports" from the transmitter. So if you momnentarly walk away it doesn't go crazy. But I guess that would let you leave it at a resturant....
Any of the alarms can be slienced by pressing the SEL key followed by the ACT key.
RE:Talkfest, you're welcome. I had fun at the live chat last night.

Gina has invited me to come back in about six weeks. I'll give you all aheads up when the date is set.
