All my appliances beep. Fridge, freezer, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, oven, washer/dryer. Why is this and how is this helpful to me? When the dishwasher takes something like 72 minutes, why do I need to know the exact second it's done? I'm not going to jump up and dash to unload it. No lives will be lost if I wait a day. Or two. Or until the dishes stack up and out of the sink. How many of us cook at a level that makes precise oven temperature neccesary? Does a fishfinger not reheat equally as well on 350 as 365, making a 375 beep a bit silly?
I want useful things to beep. Like the door, when Cam opens it and heads for the elavator. Like the toilet lid, before Cam takes a cup from the tub and starts dipping and drinking. Like the kitchen cabinet safety lock, that Cam figured out months ago, that locks away the garbage and the beer bottles in recycling he loves so much.
About Me
- Lindsay
- I was raised in a barn my dad built. I am six feet tall. I am honest to a fault. I met my British husband in a bar in Budapest. I wanted to name my son something you could shorten and that didn't mean anything in Spanish (Cam isn't a very nice shortened nickname, and camaron means shrimp in Spanish. Doh!). I have lived in more places outside the US than in.
