    Don't even get me started about remote controls. My husband is very high tech, all the new gadgets. We have 5 remotes to control the TV, the DVD, the xbox, and the speaker system. At this point I can't use the TV in the family room because I don't even know how to turn the darn thing on! He showed me once. There are at least 5 buttons you have to push, in sequence, to turn on the TV, then another remote and more buttons to turn on the sound. Heaven forbid you want to watch a movie on DVD, that requites all 5 remotes and more buttons than I'm willing to learn how to use.

    That's why AMHD is such a godsend. I can't watch TV!

    Yes, technology is sneaking up on me like a puddy tat on little fog feet.
    I bought a smart TV last year. I still sit here playing with the smart remote (only has a few buttons; everything is on the TV screen). The cursor never goes past the edge, and I can move it around right through a wall, my TV, people, maybe even lead for all I know. It's magic.
    When I lost cable in a storm the other day, a tech had to come out. He said that the neighbor's brand new TV was fried too, but that mine was designed so that all the extra HDMI slots could take over for the fried TV slot. It wasn't even a feature mentioned in the LG manual!

    Bella, I remember when blackberry's were something you baked into a pie, or made into jam.

    You can see your belly button? Lucky girl. ;)

    Ya, wait until you're in your 40's. I lost me feet too. I'm sure they're there, because I can still walk, but I haven't seen them in a while.

    Darn boobs.

    A spider just snuck up on me. But I have a feeling this isn't the kind of sneeking thing excon was trying to talk about. You know he's all about politics. :(

    LOL! I swear that I'm just one wardrobe malfunction away from ending up in the news. The headlines would read "Woman's bra breaks, 10 injured".
