I have ALWAYS been a very heavy sleeper & I adjusted 2 alram clocks. It’s very annoying, it becomes exspensive replacing them. I have tried several different types & they ALL work for a short period of time & then I adjust & I sleep straight through, I don’t wake up hit snooze & fall back out just straight sleep through it. Currently I have 2 clocks with 3 alrams and multiple functions including the ability to play cd’s, I can set all 3 alarms & all 5 on my phone ( all of these alrams at 1 point woke me up just fine)& sleep though them my H often comes home to find me completly out with all the alarms going full blast. Is there an alarm clock for me or am I doomed to replace them every few mths?
I am looking for the GE Smart Home Personal Keychain Security Alarm. Can anyone tell me if it is still on circuitcity.com? If it isn’t can someone give me a couple of dependable sites like amazon or best buy where simlar pocket alarms can be found?
my previous car didn’t have an alarm, and i just got a 2000 camry. almost every time someone opens the doors the alarm goes off, but not every time. i know a lot of other people with alarms and they don’t do this. am i doing something wrong or is it malfunctioning? and can i make it stop?
oh, and im pretty sure it is a factory alarm.
I bought a sweater a few days ago and when I was leaving the alarm went off, but the cashier was right there and told me to go ahead since I had just been through her line. Brought it home and noticed that it still had that magnetic clip thing that set off the alarms at the store. I don’t know where the receipt is, so I’m worried that if I take it back, they’ll think I stole it. Does anyone know an easy way to get these off??
I live in an exurb area, and I’m often away from my house for extended periods while on business. Recently, there was a break in at my house. My home security system scared off the thieves before they stole anything. But I’m wondering what I can do to deter thieves from breaking in in the first place. I’d like to put up signs warning about my home security, but I don’t know if that will just encourage thieves to try to deactivate the alarms before they break in. I can also install lights that come on at night, though I’m not sure if that will help. Anyone have some good ideas?
Thanks for the all the good tips. My home security company offers a wireless service, because, if my phone line gets cut, the normal home security doesn’t work anymore. Is the wireless service worth getting? I suppose most thieves aren’t smart or patient enough to go cut my phone line. But for the ones that know what they’re doing, is it easy for them to defeat security systems like ADT?
i need to start waking up at 4 in the morning but i always have the problem of falling back to sleep and turning off my alarms. i am NOT going to extremes such as putting tape over off switch, head in bowl of water etc. 1.how do i get a good night sleep 2. how do i stay up 3. how do i get ready after wards, with 3 hours time
I was going to go with ADT or something similar, but I am not trying to accrue a monthly bill at this moment in time. I know that some monitoring is quite inexpensive, but please don’t give me any of these choices. I probably will go that route in the future….just not right now.
I have checked out X10 and some other ones, particularly one found on this site: http://www.efindoutthetruth.com/Alarms.htm. I was looking at the Wireless Home & Office Alarm System Package #1. I know with these systems there are no monitoring; however I can program it to call law enforcement or household numbers should there be a problem. Can someone recommend the best options available and why you think it is one of the best options. Also, please add if there are any cons BESIDES monitoring or anything else already mentioned. Thanks in advance.
Okay Im very very scared. I went to Walgreens and stole 4 items which totaled up to be around -. I think a few workers might have suspected what I was doing because they kept coming in the aisles I was in. I was in there for about an hour total and bought nothing. I casually walked out with another man who had just bought about worth of stuff (I heard his total). The alarm went off, but in order to not make anything obvious, I slowly and casually walked to my car, unlocked it, got in, and drove home. I don’t really remember if they turned the alarm off quickly because as soon as it went off I got super scared and zoned out. No one followed me or tried to stop me. My question is, can they still get me for shoplifting? What are the penalties for the state of TN since the value was so little? Is it true that the alarms go off often in stores like CVS and Walgreens? If so, do you think they didn’t think anything of it? I tried not to panic and run or speed off, but I know they can still get my license plates.
Also, Im 17 if that helps. Ive never had any driving citations or anything. My record is 100% clean. I will NEVER steal ever again. I have learned my lesson and I know it was stupid of me. Please dont critisize or judge as I know what I did was horrible and I will never purposely commit a crime again.
I’ve been having a hard time getting up early in the morning and I need your help. Whenever I set my alarm clock to a specific time and it rings in the morning, I’m always concious and aware of what I’m doing when I get up, but I always ALWAYS turn off the alarm anyway and go back to bed. ALWAYS. I even have two alarms that ring at different times - one across the room on my desk (which rings constantly every five minutes, btw) and another one that I literally put ALL THE WAY ON TOP of my closet shelf (so I’d have to climb up to turn it off whenever it rings). And even if these two alarm clocks ring a million times (the first one I have does) and even if I get so tired getting out of bed back and forth to turn it off, I still have no motivation to stay awake and not go back to sleep. And it’s driving me crazy!
You see, I’m a homeschooled high school student, and I need to graduate by this spring (long story), so I HAVE to get up early and get as much schoolwork done as possible, just so I have enough time during the day to finish everything. The only thing that stops me from doing that is when I don’t wake up early. I could wake up around 8 to 9 o’clock in the morning and I won’t be satisfied, because I would have wasted nearly three hours of my morning sleeping, when I could’ve been awake around 5 AM and started from then. I can’t even get myself motivated for schoolwork in the morning..I mean, I used to be motivated to get up for that, but that magic has worn off on me, unfortunately, from staying at home all the time. So does anyone have anything, ANYTHING that could motivate me to stay awake once the alarm clock rings? I usually sleep around 10 - 11 PM at night, which isn’t really that late, so that’s not a problem. I’ve read that you should find something to do every morning that motivates you to get up, but I can’t think of anything that would help me. I don’t think a chocolate bar every morning will work that much (plus I don’t have any), and I don’t have any time to get on the computer and watch my favorite show or something (plus it would distract me in my coursework throughout the day..I’m like that. :x) so yeah..does anyone have any ideas? My mom suggested that I go downstairs as soon as I turn off the alarm, but I tried doing that this morning (I guess) but it didn’t work.
I know one thing will motivate me to get up tomorrow morning though..my mom and I are going to ihop for breakfast, and I need to get up early with my sisters for that.
But what should I do for the rest of the days?
Help would definitely be appreciated. =( Thank you!
One of our local news channels has been reporting home invasions. They are showing bump keys and how to use them. How to disarm alarms, telling us what thieves look for. Well while they are telling us they are also informing theives or would be thieves. Why do they do things like this, I think it is ridiculous.
Ok I’m looking for a good alarm unit to install in my 99 Camry. Nothing too fancy ( you know the pagers and stuff like that). I want something discrete and works good. I see the alarms they sell on ebay for like .00 or so. Are they any good. Also how do the Camry’s take the aftermarket alarm systems.
Are there any good brands/bad brands.
I’m looking to spend no more then or so.
Any recommendations.
I am moving into a condo from a house. I used to have my motorcycle safely stashed in the garage at the house, but now it will be out in the open. I use my car to go to work usually so the motorcycle will be left alone during those days. But I am also concerned about it at night. I have seen wheel locks with built in alarms which seem like they would work in conjunction with a heavy chain. There are no light poles or anything sturdy to lock the bike onto, and I think the condo assoc. will make me keep it in a parking slot, so I can’t chain it to a tree on the lawn. Does anyone have any creative solutions? Anyone have experience with LoJack? I will be so bummed out to come home one day to have it gone because a couple of guys lifted it into the back of their truck and took off…

So ive been looking for alarms to add to my home, but when i call they ask me for my information like where i live. and i do not want to give that out i just want prices. any ways online didn’t really answer my question so im here. so my question is how much does it cost and what does it cover?. (companies like adt brinks and any others) ive seen that most cover 2-3 doors or windows! what in the world i have 18! how much would it cost to protect all 18? would that be in the installation fee or would it also increase my monthly bill. the reason i want to cover everything is i live in a not so nice place and i have been burglarized before. i just peace of mind. another thing, around how much is the installation fee? the more windows and doors i have the higher the price it will be? what did you pay for and how many windows and doors did you protect ? thank you ahead of time
what are the steps to b followed?
should the PC is on continuosly?
are they any cams that alarms when an image is captured?

I am engaged to be married in a few months. Woo Hoo!
My fiance is a sweetie pie.
However, we do have somewhat different ideas about finances. This alarms me a little, because I know that we would benefit tremendously from seeing eye to eye about money and how to save/spend it.
My future wifey wants to save up primarily for land and a home. I want that too, but to a lesser extent.
One of my goals is to save up a large amount of funds for a hot rod. And, I should admit that I want to also have a nice bundle of cash saved up, just to have it in the bank. I want to have extra money saved up for whatever may happen in the future. If nothing ever happens, I want to just keep that portion of our money in the bank indefinately. It would give me peace of mind.
I hate to admit it, but money does give me security.
How can I fairly and lovingly negotiate with my wife about this important matter? She thinks that I am wanting to save too much money for no reason.
Thanks.
