Time for his and hers remotes. It is possible to buy a universal remote.

There’s a remote chance he’ll find it.

even Roscoe knows that’s some fuzzy logic

Not remembering where you’ve hidden something is the very definition of ‘losing it’, Earl and you ARE losing it…

Probably him or Roscoe is sitting/laying on it.

I’ve put it someplace safe.

Probably in his back pocket.

That IS me with my cell phone, I have to call it with my land line to find it!

Sometimes I want to put a chain on it and attach it to a table, sorta like pens at a bank

Roscoe’s sitting on it.

My wife doesn’t watch TV like I do, so the remote is always handy for me.

Earl is lost!

Earl is redefining the meaning of “lost”. ;-)

He’s probably sitting on it. He can’t understand why the tv set keeps changing channels when he readjusts his butt.

good for you Earl… :j

The dog is the smartest one among the three

Roscoes face in block 2

My Roku remote will whistle it’s location if I ask. But somehow I gotta turn on the TV first.

My phone is my remote. I can change the channel from anywhere in the world

First thing I do when a new device with a remote arrives is find and order a duplicate. It’s just easier for us to each have one at our side. Mr. Bezos has almost every remote available.

Another senior moment.

You could put an Air Tag on the remote then you’ll know where you left it

A distinction without a difference.

Look on the floor- -That is where mine usually ends up. Gravity, you know.

It’s not lost, it’s temporarily unavailable.

This is like my wife. She never just places the remote on the coffee table, instead she puts it under the chair, behind the back cushion or underneath the seat cushion. Every time we need to switch shows, we have to tear the room apart to locate the remote.

Maybe Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond can make him a Remote Boat.

He Super-Glued it to a lanyard, and it will be available in a week or two when it becomes unstuck from his chest.

Get your own Opel you won’t have to look for it then. His and Her’s remote, I don’t have a problem with that.

I put stuff away, then can’t find it.

A moral victory!

It’s bound to be in a remote location.

Is that circular reasoning?

I found something the three and a half year old placed elsewhere a couple of years ago. I’m sure she would have told us where it was but shs didn’t speak English back then. I called her the micro hurricane back then. She’s much more verbal nowadays and not quite as destructive.

Ask Roscoe. I’m sure he knows where it is.

So, how do you use it?
