OH YEAH!!!!

This one doesn't beep either.

What the heck do I have on me? A CURSE FOR NON-BEEPING THERMOMETERS.

I just took my temperature ( I do know how to take it, believe me.)

You push the button, (IT'S SUPPOSED TO BEEP WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON), (it says so in the directions). then it does the 188.8 thing, then it says OK, then it says LO with a Flashing F

Then you stick it in your mouth.

Well (and I did this 3 times), just to make sure.

It says 98.6 and the flashing F stopped Flashing, (that's how you know it's your actual temperature).

But it never beeped.

So what did I do.

I called the company.

I got the customer care person and I said:

"All I want is a thermometer that beeps, is that too much to ask?"

She said: "I'll be happy to assist you with that matter but first I have to ask you some questions". blah blah blah.

I gave her the required name and address and phone number.

then she says:

"Press the button and tell me if it beeps" I said: "I'll go you one better, I'll hold it up to the phone". and I did and I then said: "Did you hear the beep?" and she said "no" and I yelled:

"THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO BEEP!!!!

She then said:

"I'm going to send you a $12.00 coupon good for any of our B D products"

I said:

"I don't need $12 coupons, I need the thermometer to beep, why doesn't it beep"?

She then said "oh, I don't know but I can tell you that it doesn't have to beep to give you a correct reading, the fact that the F stopped flashing and it locked at 98.6 tells you that you do not have a fever".

OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So she's sending me the $12.00 coupon anyway, along with a pre-paid label to ship this one back so they can figure out why it doesn't beep.

I should have send her the other two that didn't beep.

I now have to walk to CVS and return the one from yesterday.

I am now stuck with B D one that gives me the reading but doesn't beep. (I held it each time in my mouth for over one minute.

It is supposed to beep after 9 seconds. That's why it says B D RAPID.

I should do an informercial on Thermometers that don't BEEP!!!!

oh my god, I sound like a madwoman, I know.

But jeez, 3 thermometers in 2 days none of them Beep.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY NEW DIABETIC METER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME BY FED EX EITHER TODAY OR TOMORROW.

I'll probably have to stab myself 3 times to get enough blood.

And I can't even tell Alan that I bought this B D rapid thermometer.

He'll have me committed.

lol lol lol

AARRRGGGH!!!!
