All TV responsibilities lie with him - I don't even know how to TURN ON the TV. Once he was gone for a week and I ended up not watching TV for a week.

I don't have one because it scares me to think of a "thingie" doing what I tell it to do, (something I couldn't teach my 4 kiddos to do) but couldn't it be set to turn the tv to the sleep mode? But what do I know..I still haven't figured out the car remote.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-51996375932647169542017-12-20T20:56:46.511-05:002017-12-20T20:56:46.511-05:00My Mrs. C. loves falling asleep with the TV on, bu...My Mrs. C. loves falling asleep with the TV on, but I prefer it quiet when I doze off.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40955120208310924332017-12-20T20:46:49.186-05:002017-12-20T20:46:49.186-05:00You folks are too dependent on your electronics.You folks are too dependent on your electronics.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-15729742252865431812017-12-20T12:12:54.915-05:002017-12-20T12:12:54.915-05:00Don't feel bad, I'm just as incompetent as...Don't feel bad, I'm just as incompetent as you are.
