I have had a Slomin's security system in my home for a few years and

else they will trip it off..)

I called Slomins and they just said disarm the motion sensor.. Well..
that defeates the purpose of home security, doesn't it? They acted
like there was nothing else they could do.

I read about Intelligent Pet Sensors, that are able to tell the
difference between an animal or a burgler.. However, that's all sales-
pitch. I have also read stuff from people saying they are a big
disappointment.

What do people with pets do in the case of having a home security
system.. Do they just not use motion sensors and use window and door
sensors?

Thanks for bringing that up.

Our cat used up his ninth life over a month ago and we're not planning
on getting another pet.

I just transferred my wris****ch from its usual location on my left
wrist onto my right wrist. That'll remind me to turn the motion
detectors in our home's security system back on when I get home tonight.

They've been swiched OFF for the 5 plus years that cat was our
non-paying tenant. G

The wris****ch trick works quite well for me when there's something I
need to remember to do later that day. Every time I go to check the time
I look at my left wrist, see nothing there, and remember why.

Another trick which helps combat my age related CRS* is to put my car
keys in our office fridge when I leave some food there I want to bring
home with me at the end of the workday. No wsy will I leave the parking
lot without that food.

CRS is why they added calendar functions and alarm clocks to cell
phones.

Scotch tape on your cars keys also acts as a reminder. Tough to start
a car when the key is taped to another one!

If I switched my watch from one wrist to the other, I'd probably spend
half the night looking for my watch.
