Quick story about home alarm systems and phone lines. Several years ago I was talking on the phone with my girlfriend Beth. She lived about 40 minutes drive from me, had three little kids, and a crazy X husband. We were talking on the phone late one night. Suddenly, I heard her alarm go off. I heard her panicked voice say, "Oh my GOD! My alarm!" and then the line went dead.
Talk about scared! I tried calling back but I just got her voice mail. I was looking up the number for her police department when she called back. Turned out it was her fire alarm, it was a false alarm, and the phone went dead because the alarm system disconnected us so that it could call the alarm in. that was some of the scarriest couple of minutes of my life. -- Blue skies.
