The adventures of finding the remote...

Have you ever looked all over the house just for that darn remote, becasue the appliance won't work without it?

We have remotes for air conditioners, tvs, vcr, dvd-player, cable-box, remote-controlled robots, remote-controlled cars, air-purifier.... Thankfully, we aren't high-tech enough for our ceiling fans, window blinds, garage door or sundry other appliances to presently have remotes too.

Ironically, as I write this, the important remotes are indeed in their cubby, waiting to be used. So later today when I need to use one, But, WHY is it that most of these appliances can't function without the aid of the remote? And, why does a whole cubby in my computer-armoire need to be filled with remotes?

The adventure will continue, when each of these remotes walks off: into seat cushions, under the couch, as play phones for kids, near the battery depot because they don't work without their life-energy of AA or AAA batteries....
