differant than days before
and i cant be there

on the next flight on the next plane
i hope youll miss my voice
once you get this message

i hope my friends dont need to see me

Oh my gosh, this just saved us from going crazy. We have had this beep going at the 00:55, 1:55, 2:55 etc around the clock for over a week and we couldn’t determine where it was coming from! Now you’ve saved us! Thank you!!!
@YottaVolt

My kids got their hands on a stopwatch and, mashing buttons as they do, turned this feature on. It was driving me nuts. Thank you!!
