I have a bunch of DVDs but don't watch any lately because I can't find the DVD player remote.


There are universal, programmable alternative remotes available for less than ten bucks.


... and really nice ones in the thirty dollar range.


I know but I'll just wait until I find mine, wherever it is buried.

Buy one bring it home and your sure to find the original one within an hour
I can't argue with that logic. Maybe I should try that.

Fool proof method indeed.


The other one is systematically and thoroughly go through your house to clean and de-clutter. (That's what I tell my kids to do when something is lost)

I am the King of Clutter so I am firmly against that method :zoinks:

If you're Catholic, you could pray to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost items!  :angel:

He was my grandma's favorite :thumbup:

Did he find a lot of things for her?  :)

She thought so but usually it was me finding it because she needed new glasses :LOL:



St. Parts!  :laugh:

At a garage sale, I found some olden Pioneer speakers and a matching receiver. These date from the late seventies. The receiver is supposed to be three hundred fifty watts per channel and the speakers are a three way twelve inch woofer variety.

To my surprise and great pleasure, the speakers are still good, have a very mellow (Pioneer, musical, but not accurate, sound) and the receiver actually works like new.  I plan to try the speakers in my garage, but the receiver is going to my bedroom for now.

I bought them, speakers and amp, for fifty bucks.

An old second hand briar pipe to replace my previous pipe which I burnt out by smoking it too hard.

Milk & Motor Oil.

Remember to put them in the right place and for heavens sake, don't mix the two!

I wonder what would happen to an engine with milk instead of motor oil... :laugh:

Demons Souls for my PS3.

Fuck me, this game is hard. It's...not bullshit hard, it's not unfairly hard, it's just...really punishing.

We bought two sets of semi-fancy mattresses for the two kids' beds.  They are both very happy about this!
