"Where's the remote?"
How many times have you heard or asked that question?
For me the next question is, "Ok, I'm serious, where IS the remote??"
Next, I'm tossing couch cushions in the air, muttering to myself, where's the bleeping remote??!!
You know you need it, you know it's always hiding. These flat screen t.v.s have hidden buttons that, to me, are impossible to figure out.
Well I have a solution. Something you can do that will make it nearly impossible to lose those pesky remotes ever again. You will need:
1. String or ribbon.
2. A stuffed animal that you don't mind seeing frequently.
3. Tape.
Tie one end of the string to the stuffed animal, and the other end to the remote. I find it necessary to tape the ribbon to the back of the remote for reinforcement. I have included pictures of our beloved "Remote Duck" It is a scraggly looking puppet of a duck that quacks portions of the tune, "Here Come's Peter Cottontail" every time you close it's beak. In my defense, I chose the duck in a moment of desperation. It now has become a novelty. BUT. . . I LOVE this duck. He has a Ruth and Naomi thing goin' on with the remotes, "Whither they goeth, HE goeth" The only thing that stands between our family and our t.v. experience - is that scrappy little duck, who is oh, so easy to find.
So if you ever find yourself asking, "Where is the remote???" I suggest you go find yourself a duck, or other "remote-ly" cute animal to become your new best friend.
Your Welcome.

| Reinforced with tape. This is especially necessary if you have kids that like to fiddle with stuff. |
