I too have a ‘universal’ remote. When I get a new remote-controlled gadget, I program the universal and chuck the manufacturer’s remote in the drawer. I now have orphan remotes whose gadgets have gone to recycle heaven. And I have no idea which ones are which.
I did the same thing – to my husband’s car. Yikes! Parked the car in the garage, took the key out of the ignition and…it disappeared. Hubs, fortunately, had a second key, took the car to the auto service who removed the driver’s seat and still no key. I haven’t yet lived this down.
Just finished cleaning the kitchen and decided to take five. But I’m not really finished. Parker is napping in the kitchen chair I moved to the living room while I mopped. Can’t move it back til the nap is over.
Wow! I’ve found my people, veterans of embryonic computer programming!I worked in Fortran at uni, then was hired by a huge tech company only to discover I’d be programming their fancy new computers in assembly language with occasional forays into writing my own mnemonics in machine language. Fun times!
Ah, sweet memories! I’m 75 and inherited my gran’s candy dish, empty now but filled with peppermint drops in my childhood.
