Never fails! Fuck the electric company before it fucks you. That's my motto.

And when those bells start getting swatted by that crazy fucking mechanism . . . . It could wake the dead!

4. I have one, got it as a Christmas gift I think
Used it maybe once. Don't need one, usually. And it's made in China.

making me late for work. I also set my cellphone's alarm, but it doesn't always wake me up. I think I'm going to look into buying one of those wind-ups.

6. I gave my mom a Baby Ben two years ago for Christmas
A specific type she requested. It was hell to find but finally I located a source on the internet. Even eBay had been a total blank on the type she wanted. My mom uses it every day including trips and she loves it.

Since I'm retired :shrug: that isn't very often.

8. I do.
It's a little white wind-up. Got it for $5 at my local Alco (it's like a Pamida). :)
