OK, so we just moved in to this new apartment, and we used the tub to take baths, but the hot water runs out mid-way through the bath (and even in a shower!). Yesterday, I took a half-hot, half-cool shower (LOL) and afterwards (about 5 minutes later or so) the smoke detector above the door in the bedroom where the water heater is (in the closet) starts going off. I couldn't smell anything strange or smokey or anything that would set off the detector. I fanned it, and it shut off. I told our maintenance guy about it, and he came and turned up the temp on the water heater (he said it was down WAY low), and he chalked the smoke alarm off as a malfunctioning/old smoke detector.Do you think the water heater would've triggered the smoke detector, even though *I* couldn't smell anything? Or, do you think he's right, in that the detector was malfunctioning.None of the other detectors in the house went off (there's one in each bedroom).It's an electric water heater, not gas.
Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin (which carries oxygen in the blood) stronger than oxygen binds hemoglobin. In CO poisoning, the persons hemoglobin molecules bind CO and as a result, less hemoglobin is able to bind oxygen. Consequently, there is a massive decrease in oxygen availability and delivery to the tissues, including the brain. A person begins to feel nausea, confusion, sleepy, headaches and can eventually faint and go into a coma. If they are not given 100% oxygen via mask soon, they can die. CO poisoning often occurs from huge fires or from faulty heaters that do not fully combuste gas. CO poisoning is treated with 100% oxygen via face mask and in extreme cases, a hyperbaric O2 chamber. Both of these treatments will displace CO from hemoglobin, allowing hemoglobin to bind again to oxygen.
You can look back over my career here in this section and see that I've given credit to Russo for the positive things he's done, as well. Some may read that comment from Foley as ah, Foley's just sucking up so he can keep his job. I don't think that's how it is. Foley doesn't NEED TNA. He's extremely wise with his money, he can continue to write books that sell, he can go to other promotions, he could even start one of his own. He doesn't NEED TNA. Russo's biggest attribute is his wild imagination. The man IS creative. One of his biggest flaws is his wild imagination. He doesn't know when enough is enough or when he's taken things too far. Which is why he needs a boss, an editor overseeing his work. Vince McMahon was generally very adept at taking Russo's crazy ideas and distilling them into things that worked. In WCW, he didn't have a Vince McMahon overseeing him and his imagination was allowed to run wild. We know the results of that. The blanket Fire Russo! chant for any angle, match, match ending, crazy stipulation, storyline twist, gimmick (change) that doesn'twork is funny but not really fair. Russo is not the only booker/writer who's churned out clunkers. He's just the most famous. And people tend to focus on the bad, rather than praise the good. Vince Russo HAS made some positive contributions to pro wrestling and IS one of the architects who has (re)made the business into what it is and has been the past 15 years.
