Mine's never beeped except for when I pushed the test button on the front.

might suggest adding one (or two) of your own. I'd hate to find out later that all they did was kill it to make it stop beeping

ya know?

That's the new plan. Next week I'll go get a battery one.

Oh. Me, too. Drives the kid crazy because they can 'retain' the directions....

Is Paris Hilton really that full of herself?

In a word, yes.

among other things.

I say we start our own petition demanding that she be fired

I normally don't care about what goes on in the lives of the party crowd but I hope she goes to jail. Regular jail. For the full 45 days. Like she was sentenced to.

Somehow, I doubt she'll go to "regular jail". Since I work in one, I promise you that I've never seen someone from that financial background actually serving time for anything like that. There are plenty of people who serve their sentence cleaning the streets, but most everyone who stays in the jail are people who are either serving sentences for violent crimes, drugs, prostitution or robbery, or people waiting for court/sentencing who can't afford bail.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. As I heard it, the judge that gave the sentence put some pretty heavy restrictions, specifically saying it can't replaced with community service, house arrest, or any sort of alternative jail. I wasn't clear if that precluded any sort of minimum security "jail", but he definitely seemed to be making an effort to close off at least a good chunk of the options usually open to the wealthy.
