This is a VERY bad and good day wrapped up in one because:

My oldest step-brother and his girlfriend have been smelling something odd in their apartment for the last few days. Last night she asked him about carbon monoxide and didn't they have a carbon monoxide detector up in the attic? He believed they did and the two went looking for the detector. They didn't find it. He offered to go to Wally World and get one. She said it could wait until morning. During the night, she died of carbon monoxide poisoning. My step-brother was taken to the ER and it was found that they both contained equal amounts of poison in their systems. He is ok. She is gone.

I'm so happy that he is ok that I can't stand myself and in the same breath, I am horrified that she isn't.

I wish they would have put up their detector when they got it. If you have one, put it up. If you don't have one, get one.
