remote

[susandennis]

I just picked up the heater remote to turn on the TV. They are both black and the same shape and size. That should not be allowed.

I was 31 years old before I ever even saw a remote. I bought a BetaMax and it has a remote. It was not wireless. BE CAREFUL - THE CABLE!!

Now about the only thing I do not have a remote for is blowing my nose. I have one for the toilet lid (bidet), one for the bedroom TV, one for the bedroom TiVo, one for the bed, one for the blinds, one for the air conditioner, one for the heater, one for the tv, one for the TiVo, one for the tv speakers.

Most of them I do not use. I use my phone or Alexa. But even so, that's too many remotes.

Having said that, it does seem ridiculous to have to get up to preheat the oven...

We weren't sure if we should get Beta or VHS, and I don't know how we decided on Beta. Then we took our first trip to the video store, saw how much smaller the Beta section was, and immediately returned the Beta and bought a VHS.

Do you remember the first movie you ever recorded? Ours was Silkwood.

Movies were not my jam. I got the recorder to record soap operas and then branched out to other tv shows. It was years before I ever recorded a movie or even went to a video store.

That movie gave me nightmares when I was a kid. I still get a little freaked out just thinking about it. I have no idea why exactly it always terrified me so much...

The only remote-controlled bidet I've seen was at the Ritz-Carlton in Manama, but it was attached with a phonecord-like tether. Toilet seat was heated, too! Almost every other butt sprayer was like a dish sprayer next to your kitchen faucet. One temperature, one pressure, and spraying in possibly 37 different directions.

mine is wireless and has a spray back and forth option... oh and it's heated (both the water and the seat). And I love it beyond what is reasonable.

Seems to me it's time to ask Alexa to order you a compatible oven. ;-)

You sound like my husband - he loves remote controls and gadgets. Me, I can't tell the remotes apart, so I never use them. Okay, I do use the one to raise and lower my fabulous bed, but everything else I ignore.

"it does seem ridiculous to have to get up to preheat the oven..." I think you are on to something! I'd absolutely love to have THAT remote!

And this is nothing to do with this post, but more something you wrote the other day about getting your cat some food (but I'm too lazy to look for the post). I saw this today and thought of you (https://thisbugslifedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/45019807_2167795209900454_945344901967511552_n.jpg).

Sparks has a remote start on his car and I'm jealous!

[susandennis]

although now, that would not do me much good since my car lives 6 floors below me BUT there was a time - many actually - when that would have been heaven on earth.

And your car lives inside, out of the snow. It's very handy for cold mornings. He gets to stand in the house and his car warms up for him. While I sit shivering in the truck waiting for the windshield to thaw. I won't go back in the house because I'm terrified some fruitpop will steal my truck.

LOL! I really did!
