Fog machines smell gross... how can possibly you get in the mood with that funk lingering, let alone the strobes?

I have the electricity ones and yes, they have batteries.....My apartment also has flashing strobes lights and a carbon monoxide detector. The batteries need to be changed in the smoke detectors but not the others. We have been here for 3 years and changed batteries due to chirping once and that was probably last year so maybe if you have the electric smoke detectors they don't run out of batteries as fast?
On a side note, 2 Halloweens ago my love and I bought a fog machine and had the brilliant idea to *ahem* be romantic in the fog. Well, just a word to the other freaks out there.....fog machines trip smoke detectors. It was strange when the strobes started to go off BEFORE the smoke detectors and we just looked at each other confused. Then we were scrambling to get dressed as the shrill beeping started followed by the screams of our children who thought the house was on fire....
We had to thumb tack dark colored Tshirts over the strobes after we got everything settled because only the fire department or the property management can reset the strobe lights....
Moral of story.....Fog Machine WooHoo plus smoke detectors= NOT ROMANTIC.

list of what??!!!!!!!!
You can get scented fog. Banana and cherry are two that come to mind...not to mention how apropos they happen to be to the twists this topic has taken! :D
We all dream of a world of sunshine and rainbows and peace. The problem is some people think this would be a great place to live, while others think it would be a great place to pillage.

What about garage smoke alarms? We don't have one there.
