Have you ever tried the karaoke on there? Julia and I used to do karaoke all the time! They even have kids songs. It was awesome. I kind of miss it. *sniff* As far as the remote, you're so much nicer than me. If Julia whines about changing the channel or what she wants to watch, I tell her, "If what's on T.V. is that important to you, you're watching too much." Then, I turn it off. Once she is otherwise occupied, I watch what I want. We had On Demand at our old place. Have you ever tried the karaoke on there? Julia and I used to do karaoke all the time!

In our house it is the PBS Sprout channel - Dragon Tales, Caliou, etc. At first I thought it was the greatest invention ever...I have since reconsidered.

He brought me one, and I told him I needed the other one, too. He went straight to the living room dresser, reached up (he can't see the top), and felt for the remote. He brought them both to me, beaming. Stinker. I told Ben yesterday that I couldn’t put on Cars because I didn’t have the remotes. He brought me one, and I told him I needed the other one, too.

These kids these days with their luxuries. :) When I was a kid, we didn't have a VCR -- not until 1989 (maybe even 1990). Years after they first came out. My father told us to play outside. Now the kids today can DVR and do all that....yikes! Girl, I feel your pain. These kids these days with their luxuries. :) When I was a kid, we didn’t have a VCR — not until 1989 (maybe even 1990).
