The "comments" section comes and

The "comments" section comes and goes (and sometimes says "Posuers") - enetations (my comments hosting site) is having problems apparently.

Before I forget:

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For those that are going out tonight to ring in the new year, be carefull and make sure that you have a designated driver. We won't be going out because:

1. We are too old for that party shit (have been for years)


2. I have to get up at 3:30 to go to work in the morning


3. We're pumpkins by 8:30 - 9:30 at the latest, so we miss the "magic moment" anyway


4. The weather is supposed to be lousy anyway (freezing rain, maybe mixed with snow)

Maybe we'll pull out the DVD of Men in Black II. That way we can test the new remote control that was delivered while we were on vacation. This is a cool remote that will control just about anything that is "remotable" - even lights and airconditioners (assuming that those items are equiped with IR recievers). The remote that came with the new TV wouldn't program for our surround sound reciever and I could not figure out how to program recording times on the VCR with it. Last night I programmed the new remote and it works like a charm (didn't have to program the TV or VCR in as they are Sony products and are already programmed in). The reciever and surround sound systms still aren't hooked up since we moved everything around, so will have to program that in later.

I researched remote controls (and customer ratings) and this one seemed to be the best all-around value, but I didn't like the price that most places showed. I should have gone to J and R Music to begin with! I got the Wonderful Spouses CD Recorder through them at a huge discount, so I finally got smart and checked their website. Although the site shows the same price I saw elsewhere, I had them email their better price to me - what a pleasant surprise! I also got free shipping since I didn't need it for Christmas and selected the regular Shipping option. Although their name implies that they only deal with "music", they deal with almost every kind of electronics. Check them out if you are looking for electronics or things that go with electronics (sorry if I sound like an advertisement, but I've had excellent experiences with them and feel that they really deserve a plug!)
