Yes, of course, run through the fire to get to those exterior doors. Makes
perfect sense. Meanwhile, your house no longer has legal bedrooms.

Says who? The windows are up so high, no normal human could get out them in
a fire anyway! And the door in my room is right next to the window!

Windows should always be kept available for emergency exits.

The door gets closed to keep the smoke out of the room and killing
you. Any normal human will escape from a window no matter how high
they are or how difficult they are to get out of. That is unless they
are blocked like you have done to yours.

Picture this. Fire breaks out in the Bove mansion one night. Husband
and wife run out of doors and escape. Daughter is trapped in bedroom
and can't get out of the raccoon-proof window coverings. Husband and
wife stand outside of house engulfed in flames, listening to
daughter's last terrified screams. Fix your house, Julie. Be
prepared. You never know....

Especially given that her house's mechanical systems seem kind of
sketchy.

Dunno. Julie surely knows these sort of posts trigger responses she

14 fans in a smallish house is a lot!

I used to live in the tropics, our house had 4 bedrooms and two living
rooms. One ceiling fan in each of those rooms, also one in the kitchen
(from memory?). Quite a large house, and only 7 fans in total, never
had all of them going at once either.

When you say 14 fans - do you mean they're all in use at the same
time, or you just have a lot of fans so you don't need to move them
from room to room, and only use some of them at any given time?

But potentially more humid, which makes it feel hotter than it
actually is.

We did have a fire and we all got out, but the Fire Dept. had to force my
husband out because he didn't believe that it was a fire. And how would
opening an exterior door keep the smoke out of the room? None of our
interior doors are ever shut and in fact many will not even shut because...I
don't know why. Improper installation or something out of what.

There is no way I could get out some of the windows without getting a
ladder. And many just do not open. Not all houses have opening windows.
Some houses in this area have just panes of glass with some small part that
opens under the window for ventilation.

What about areas with high crime? They have bars on the window. And in
some of the military housing, if you have a child under a certain age, there
has to be a guard over the window so they won't accidentally fall out.

Your theory just doesn't hold any water.

Prove it! Houses in high crime areas have bars over the windows.

Oh yes you can, when sufficiently motivated... which you would be if

Why didn't he believe there was a fire - what sort of fire was it?

Depends on the situation, opening a door could make it better... or
worse.

Yep...

I can understand one door having a problem - but many of them??
The doors must either have been hung incorrectly, or the door frames
are out of square. If the latter... you have serious problems.

Bove would benefit to learn the definition of "egress" and how egress
relates to building codes (etc.). More than likely, bove will claim
it's too much trouble and cannot be bothered. After all, bove claims to
not know what "pique" means either. Is anyone surprised?

Sky, who's "back" - VBEG!!!!

BTW - for bove's sake -- homes with 'bars in the windows' are required
to have emergency releases so the bars can be (re)moved from the inside
in cases of emergencies, such as fires. Disclaimer -- homes-with-bars
that don't have such emergency contingencies do not count and are more
than likely illegal (through sheer stupidity!!!!).

Who wants to bet and take odds that bove does not know what "egress"
means???

Adrenalin wouldn't help me there. Even when I wasn't disabled, there was no
way I could jump up that high.

*sigh* I don't know why he didn't believe. I don't speak for him. I still
have proof of the blackened insulation. A ballast burned, the insulation
began smoldering. This was in the laundry room. I was walking through
there to take the trash out when I saw the smoke, smelled the fire and saw
something black dripping down into the light fixture. Both it and the cover
to the light had to be replaced. I saw it just in time before any real
damage occurred.

The doors to my room and bathroom will shut. They are pocket doors. I just
never do shut them unless I am getting dressed or taking a shower and
someone is out in the yard. Because that window is up so high and I keep
the shade almost all the way down, it wouldn't be likely to see me through
there but I only have sheers on two windows in this room so I might possibly
give a peep show if I didn't.

The other two bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room door will not stay shut.
You can shut them but they pop right open again.

I am also mildly wheat intolerant. At its worst back in 1999 a spoon of gravy would give me indigestion, elevated body temperature and sweaty scalp all lasting a couple of hours. Acid reflux and snoring that lasted a few nights. Those last two were probably different aspects of the same symptom.

As the years passed the degree of my symptoms decreased then the amount to trigger symptoms increased. Apparently common for intolerance that never happens with a true allergy. In late 1999 a spoon of gravy made with flour could trigger the whole list. Now after 16 years of avoidance I don't get symptoms as long as the product uses bleached flour. Strangely KFC chicken breading triggers symptoms but I can eat a franchise chain burger with the bun as long as it's a place that no one ever says they have locally baked buns.

Sometimes it's worth it to me these days to deliberately give myself symptoms. A local fried chicken chain with yummy yeast buns Golden Chick, certain indigestion plus but worth it.

I love the current gluten free fad. It's over kill for me. I only need to go free of wheat, triticale, spelt or kamut and I no longer have to worry about cross contamination. But it sure is good to be able to have some slices of pizza without getting symptoms!

I had a slice of gluten free pizza recently. It was enough to make me

If done according to code, those bars are removable from the inside.

Codes also dictate the minimum size opening a window can have.

Egress windows are required in every room used for sleeping purposes
(bedrooms) on any floor and in basements with habitable space. If you
are constructing a new home, the code requires that you put an egress
window in each bedroom.

An egress window must satisfy four International Residential Code (IRC)
criteria:
Minimum width of opening: 20 in.
Minimum height of opening: 24 in.
Minimum net clear opening: 5.7 sq. ft. (5.0 sq. ft. for ground floor).
Maximum sill height above floor: 44 in

Too many fresh baked bread donuts will lead to diarrhea at times. I don't
know if it is the yeast or the white flour that triggers this.
I don't worry about it too much and still consume the donuts but
limit the number consumed at each session.

Other than than I can eat darned near everything and do. Many who complain
about food allergies on this forum are psychotic freakazoids who
live their lives fearing whole classes of foods and letting that fear
take over their lacklustre lives and govern their interaction with
other people. If one suspects a genuine food allergy or reaction, then by
all means seek the help of PROFESSIONAL doctors and not Internet KOOKS
who pray on people's concerns and use them to enrich themselves.

Yes, I'm sure its because you are a Cancer. A neighbor lady said I was a flirt because I was born under the Gemini sign. Yep, she was right.

My friend does not have such windows in her house and neither do some of the
other, older houses I have visited. The windows themselves do not open at
all but there is a ventilation flap underneath.

Or the sugar, or grease.

But I think that kind of reaction might be common to anyone who goes
too deep into the baker's dozen. If it doesn't happen after the first
couple of bites, it's probably not really an allergy.

I remember watching a local show where they made maple bars from canned
biscuits. I was an adult/teen but still living at home. My parents were
out of town. I made them and my brother and I wolfed them down for
breakfast. I think I ate more than he did. Then I went to work.

I wasn't there long before I realized they were going to swim up stream. I
remember customers getting mad at me because I blasted past them in order to
get to the restroom. For me, I think it was the grease. I am not used to
eating much in the way of fried foods and my normal diet is pretty low in
fat.

Fourteen hundred years ago Islam gave women rights; rights that could

decades by Muslim converts, and Islamic writers, academics and educators
across the globe. Womens rights, responsibilities, and choices have
been the subject of books, articles, essays, and lectures. Sadly
however, convincing the world that Muslim women are not oppressed by
Islam is a message that is just not getting through. Media headlines
scream oppression and the words Muslim, women, and oppression seem to
have become inextricably linked.

No matter what Muslim women do or say to try to convince the world
otherwise, words like hijab, burka, polygamy, and Sharia seem to do
little but convince people that Islam oppresses women. Even educated,
articulate women fulfilling the modest conditions of hijab can do little
to dispel the myths. Women who conduct themselves with decorum and
grace and function effortlessly in the modern world have their
achievements and successes celebrated. However, if a woman wears a
scarf, covers her hair or puts her religion above worldly pursuits she
is immediately labelled oppressed. One wonders if this is the case for
women of other religious persuasions.
