hmmm… what?
another case of the missing remote
8Jun2008 Filed under: Days Go By Author: ValSteve: You still haven’t found that remote, have you? (He’s referring to the remote for the DVD player, it’s been gone for about a month now.)
Val: Nope, haven’t looked.
Steve: [looking around] Get up!
Val: What!? Why?
Steve: I want to look under the chair.
Val: I already looked under the chair.
Steve: I don’t believe you!
Val: What!!!!! You think I’m lying? [laughing]
Steve: [laughing] get up!
Steve then removes the cushions and digs through the chair and finds toys and a little towel. He then flips the chair over and under it finds — ta-da — the remote!
Val: I SWEAR I looked under that chair!! I even went like this! [demonstrates a sweeping method]
Well, mystery solved anyway, it’s about time!
This was also followed by more hilarity, most of which y’all wouldn’t get but now that he has the remote, he’s playing some DVD about gun history. And there’s some dude, all dressed out in traditional fur trapper garb and Steve says, “I need to get me an outfit like that,” and I just cracked up and couldn’t stop laughing. “What’s so funny?” In a word, this!
“No,” he says, “I don’t have the hair.” :P

I solved the missing remote problem by literally taping the DVD remote to a large piece of cardboard that is about 12″ x 24″. With a Sharpie I wrote “LOSE ME AND DIE!”.
I also have one of the HUGE, OVERSIZED universal remotes.
Neither have been lost since the implementation of the plan!

Haha! Great ideas! We usually keep the unused remotes in this little wooden bowl thing I have but the main two – for satellite and the DVD player – tend to float around the room between the coffee table, couch, and chair.
I’ll have to think about some implementation to keep them from getting lost again. ;-)
