Friday Fill In #106

6 Comments

1. It’s January; just a few more weeks, and I can get the scooter back out.

2. More sleep is what I crave most right now.

3. Cork and wine go together like Mickey Mouse and fish sticks.

4. Cocoa butter and body yogurt is so nourishing (to my skin).

5. Let us dare to run naked in the streets. (Not really, but it’s the first thing I thought of.)

6. It’s only a matter of time before I sell my home.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to an evening home with my family, tomorrow my plans include a recording session, and Sunday, I want to just kick back and chill a little!

Tomorrow is “meeting day” for me. I’ve got a 7am, a 9am, a 10am, and a 12:30 lunch meeting. Anyone available in the afternoon? 🙂

I Have No #9

1 Comment

I mentioned a few posts ago about how much I love my new Harmony 880 remote. And I still really like it. But Susan mentioned something, almost off hand, tonight: She could never make the #9 work. So I tried it. She was right–no #9. I tried it on the TV, the radio, and the TIVO. No #9. So I reprogrammed the remote. I made the #8 send the code for #9, and I made the #9 button send the #8 command. And, #8 made #9, and #9 didn’t do anything. So I knew it was the button itself, and not the commands the remote was sending. The remote came with 60 days of phone support, so I got them on the horn. Well, after about 20 minutes on hold. The tech listened to what I tried, and agreed there was a problem with the hardware. He had me upgrade the firmware. No luck. Then he said “Push the button real hard.” I did. It worked. Still, that’s not how it should work, so he said he’d refer me to warranty service. He said I should hear from them in three to five business days. Let’s see what happens.

Poor Man’s Supper

3 Comments

We were going to have hot turkey sandwiches for supper tonight. Susan was even going to make some homemade herb bread for the sandwiches. Well, she forgot about the bread, so she threw the ingredients into the bread machine for a “rapid rise” white loaf. When that was done, it turned out the turkey wasn’t thawed! So we had hot, homemade bread for supper! We broke out the jam, butter, and peanut butter, as well as some sugar and cinnamon. Add to that a couple o’ hunks of cheddar cheese, and you had a quick, simple supper we all loved!
