Oh say can you beep!

Do you know how much our lives are controlled by beeps? No wonder I am salivating so much! Just look at the beeps in my home:

Dishwasher: beeps when it is through running.. and continues a few times to get our attention.

Clothes washer: beeps when it is through running.. and continues for about 15 minutes until we move the clothes to the dryer.

Clothes dryer: beeps when it is through running.. and continues for about 10 minutes.

Microwave: beeps when it is through running.. and continues until somebody empties it.

Stove: beeps one minute before it is finished and then when it is finished, beeps continually, until taken care of.

Oven: beeps one minute before it is finished and then when it is finished, beeps continually until taken care of.

Kitchen timer: beeps one minute before it is finished and then when it is finished, beeps continually, until taken care of.

Alarm clock: beeps continually to wake you up.

Telephone: call waiting.. beeps at you to let you know you have another call.

Telephone: messages pending.. beeps until you listen to the messages.

Cell phone: beeps to let you know you have a message.

Cell phone: beeps to let you know somebody is trying to call you while you are talking to someone else.

Smoke detectors: beep at midnight or 2 AM to let you know that the battery has less than 50% power.

Car: beeps to let you know that it is backing up.

Now isn't that scary!
