Working from home this morning, have a lunch-time meeting with Bug's teachers to map out his IEP for next year. Sadly, working from home is not as productive as I'd like.

And in other news, it appears that all my electronics have reached their functional end-of-life at the same time. The VCR (13 years old, one owner) no longer completely rewinds tapes. This is a minor irritation, if I can get a manual rewinder. The DVD player tends to overheat if left on for too long, and cause skipping and image freezing. And I can't tell if the 'make-the-vcr-and-dvd-player-work-together-on-my-ancient-tv' gadget is working or not :}. It might just be that the "on" LED has burned out :).

Technology is such fun.

On the other hand, due to some upgrading in my house, in my stack o'crap to go to Goodwill is a VCR, DVD player, and converter box. None of it is more than five years old. If you want them let me know and I will put them aside for you. I think I even have the owner's manuals around here somewhere. . .

Oooh! Yes, Please!!

Okay, I'll set them aside and look for the manuals. The remotes are with the units already. Ping me in email and we'll try to set up a time to get them to you at a midway point between us ;) I've got some errands to run up northward soonish, but not as north as you are.

Of course they all go on strike at once (They belong to the same union)

And over here, I live in daily terror the 25 year old TV will finally completely refuse to turn on, and Michael will not be able to watch "The Incredibles." Again. And I will have to commit hari kari.

BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAA.

I posted my original, when I thought that the TV+DVD player +VCR combination had died, and that Bug would be unable to watch the Hunchback Of Notre Dame. For the 4th time today. And I, too, would be forced to kill someone. Possibly me.
