Jon,
Whatever you do, do not discuss the disappearance of the remote loudly in front of any other electronic device.
Seriously, they are all jealous of each other and one of them will behave badly or go into hiding.

Re: General announcement to the SSO membership
Never mind the 98 cents. I was looking in the sofa for my remote and found $1.37 (all in ones) so I'm flush for a while. Yeah, Ricky was just a grade school heartthrob back when he issued his life's mission statement.

Kids will do, but dang if they don't grow up and move away! I'm still trying to teach Murphy and Bentley to change channels, or at least FIND the remote, but so far they think its a chew toy...
Charlie, I've faxed over the 98c, I will expect my remote by return fax....TOOT SWEET!!!!!

I read this thread to my bride last night. She hasn't laughed so hard in months. Thanks.

Re: General announcement to the SSO membership
Nancy, the remote is on the way. Please look under the third cushion on your sofa... or in the freezer. I'm not too good at this high tech fancy-schmancy instant communication fol-de-rol. 
And, Chris, laughter IS the best medicine. Our bill is in the mail (sorry, we don't take insurance).

Chris, don't forget to take the SSO special special discount of .0000015 percent. We don't offer that to just anyone, you know...

Jon, we certainly hijacked your thread. Did you ever find your remote? Did you look under the 3rd cushion on the couch? The dog bowl? (CharlieT is a bit of a klutz, you know, when it comes to faxing things back).

Re: General announcement to the SSO membership
Don't worry about a thing until you find the remote in the freezer and the ice cream on the end table next to the couch, probably sitting in a puddle of melted cream, that's when you get the grandkids over for the weekend, to help you look.

Re: General announcement to the SSO membership
Jon,
Mr Cutter (also a Jon) can probably give you some ideas (though they may be pricey) for an all in one remote. Let me know.

Re: General announcement to the SSO membership
Once while I was moving I wondered where to put the remote where it wouldn't be damaged and I could find it easily.
After settling in I searched for about a month without finding it. Then one day I was out driving and had to stop suddenly. The remote slid out from under the driver's seat.
