Dear CayCay, This really hit home for me. We have 2 remotes and a portable phone, and all are black. My sister and I are always trying to figure out which device to pick up. Two old ladies watching TV would make a good cartoon! Thanks for the giggle. Betty

Oh my Caycay, what a hoot this is!! Happens to me all the time...Also, mine like to play hide and seek when I get up to do something but they don't play fair because I never get to hide! (cheaters) I see a sure winner here my friend! Now will you excuse me? I have to go look for my remote...

My husband walks with the remote so when it's missing, I know he 'walked' again and it will either be in the kitchen or a bathroom. I am so glad that controlling the controls can be comical for other people, too. Thanks, Tim ... CayCay

In my case, too many beside me on the sofa where I 'nest.' Appreciate your comments, thank you ... CayCay

A 7 for this great response to the prompt, CayCay! I too have had to accept these facts--also that I can't call anyone on my little calculator! Janice

Janice - your comment reminds me of another silly I once did. After dialing a wrong number, I searched the phone key pad for the clear button! Too much time on the calculator at work that day, I guess! Loved your comments ... CayCay

Oh, yes - I'm sure one day all we'll have to do is press our belly button and channels will change, calls will be made and meals served! Good to see you, Paloma ... CayCay (how pretty you are!)

You're not the only one to get mixed up that way, CayCay! Nowadays everywhere is cluttered with phones and remote controls, and it's not the first time that I pick up a remote control when absent mindedly I reach out to answer the phone:) gl in the contest. Regards // paul

I suspected others confused the button devices in their life, too. After this one-liner, I now know others do! We have to laugh, it is imperative! Thanks, Paul - always good to see you ... CayCay

I laughed that you bust out laughing - your giggle was contagious! I always feel blessed when I can make others laugh, don't know why - just do. All the best to you, sweet Alexis ... CayCay
