My wife asked if she could have a little peace and quiet while she cooked dinner.
So I took the battery out of the smoke detector.
THey should have had Smoke Detectors when I was married to my ex, she was such a fantastic cook she could, literally burn the pot that the water was in.
My sister burned boiled eggs once!
@Redheadedgammy Going on the past "efforts" of my ex I'd believe that for sure.
Hey! The smoke alarm is quite often my kitchen timer! How will she know when dinner is done? Haha!
I was not kidding btw, for the first few years, until T finally managed to actually teach her how to prepare and cook meals, even the dogs would refuse to eat them and I was thankful to working as a Cab Driver and could buy edible foods to eat on the job.
I used to regularly do that when my wife cooked in our old house, since the alarm would always go off if smoke built up in the kitchen.
