Arm and a Leg... plus some!

An arm and a leg - defined by Urbandictionary.com as

Figuratively, what one would have to sell or otherwise place as collateral in order to afford something of great expense.

Comes from the fact that, when buying things of great expense, it actually feels as if you are having to offer said appendages as collateral for said item you are purchasing.

So about those smoke detectors and heat detectors... looks like we're all going to die because wowzers those babies are expensive!  If I had to choose between feeding my kids this year or buying Master Guard smoke detectors... um, looks like food wins!
At least for now.  Cindy called to tell us to check them out on ebay where you can buy them for a price that doesn't include a comma!

***Note*** Ben talked to a friend tonight who's also a firefighter and he told Ben something along the lines that all smoke detectors are created equally! :)
