What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love my closed captions, but need to turn them off during live shows. Only the original tv remote will work for that function. I'll never manage to not have a basket full of remotes.
We spent $500 on a touch screen Harmony remote that is supposed to take care of all that--it controls the tuner, the DVR, the DVD and the TV, all on a touch screen. So you can sort of see why DH would be pissed off. For that amount, the thing should be able to do what we want AND fetch beers.
It's just too complicated of a system, I suppose. The worst part is that I could play around with it and eventually push the right button to fix it but DH HATESHATESHATES this kind of experimentation. He wants to KNOW what fixes the problem and push THOSE buttons. It's driving me insane.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I finally found flights that we can afford at the right time for a trip to Dallas so that we wouldn't be inconveniencing anyone by arriving late at night but we wouldn't have to leave too early either, and I called TCG to confirm. Only he gave me the wrong date for one of his meetings, so now to start from scratch.
Good luck with the closed caption thing, Cashmere. I have had that same problem with my very uncomplicated TV system, but I'm with you I'm all for the keep pushing the buttons until it fixes itself method.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What kind of DVR is it, Cashmere?

Yes, remotes can certainly push our buttons. In theory I could have studied the manuals for the countless remotes that never did control all the devices. And yet, basket full of various remotes. X number without back plates. X number without batteries.

Pathetic.
Also, Professor Palfrey sounds like a Hogwarts teacher.
Today I do not have Scully hair. Today I have Dorothy Hammill hair. Alas.

Tom is wearing his superhero cape today! (Love the Grandma remote, but don't know if Cashmere's DH will appreciate it yet, maybe next week when the captioning is gone)
