The babysitter turned on closed captions by accident. We can't figure out how to turn them off. *sigh*
do you have a menu button on the remote?
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Home from the award ceremony. It seems we have a bona fide hero at work. In addition to the Silver Beaver Award, my co-worker was presented with a BSA medal for heroism. Here are some basic details of the event, can not guarantee accuracy, it was a loud room, couldn't hear great from the other side of the table. Seems last May, while returning from a camping trip with 4 Scouts, in the middle of nowhere, a biker crashed his motorcycle into a vehicle. His leg suffered huge trauma. My co-worker was the first on the scene. He administered some first aide, (applied a tournequet to stop bleeding, elevating, etc) while sending the scouts up and down the road to the cars caught in the traffic to get ice from coolers. Proceeded to put the guys leg on ice. Then sent the scouts to find a residence (I guess no cell service??). 45 minutes later professional help arrived. Saved the guys life, but not the leg. So we had 6 bikers at our table tonight. They were asked if they would like to attend the event tonight, and they said "Hell Yes!". Very cool!
Dude! A hero! Who knew? None of us, as Co-worker is very modest and not looking for pat-on-backs.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Omnis, that is exceptionally cool. Sometimes people don't spoil things for the rest of us. Sometimes people are amazing.

Sigh. An article in the Style section (of course) of the Times, about how significantly more teenage girls than teenage boys have their own websites. There's a bit about how many of these websites have warning telling people not to hotlink and not to steal their content. Rather than presenting this as fairly typical "I made this, I should get credit for it" that pretty much anyone involved in creating anything would say, it's described thus:

Now tagless for your comfort.
do you have a menu button on the remote?
Vortex, we tried with the tv remote but it says we can get into the tuner option to shut off the CC. (This is how the owner's manual says to do it). So we though it was through the DVR--checked all the menus there, no dice.
As of this morning, it's still on and we feel like idiots. The system is too complicated for us to handle and DH is pissed at spending A LOT of money on a system we can't work.
On the brighter side, I found an antique restorer who lives in my neighborhood and is going to come and take a look at my secretary. He sounds like a really nice guy, too.
