Our house is some sort of a remote waste land. Ever since Mr D learned how to take batteries out of the remote to power his 'toys', remotes are hard to keep in their 'home'. It is easy to put your hands on a dozen dead remotes at any given moment in time.
So, there are lots an d lots of generic remotes. You know those that can be programmed for any tv, or dvd player. Which is fine. We work very hard on trying to teach Mr D not to cannibalize a remote for his toy, but so far our luck has been mediocre. Of course, our best strategy was to buy a gazillion batteries and keep them around, but it is really funny how fast you can go through a gazillion batteries!
My current problem has to do with the satellite tv system. We have 4 receivers and each one is on a different frequency and requires its own specific remote. They are not interchangeable.
The remote in the bedroom came up missing over the weekend. Since it never leaves the bedroom it should be easy to find. There are only two people who ever watch tv there, and they both understand the concept that the remote must remain in that room. So far, it has eluded capture. (since it obviously has run away!)
This morning, the remote in the living room has disappeared. Now, this one has a bit of a disappearing habit. It frequently attempts to leave the premises, but is usually apprehended in either the toy box, laundry room or one of the kids bedrooms. Its favorite temporary hiding spot is in the cushions of the sofa. Most of the time it is apprehended before it can make its get away.
A quick search this morning was unfruitful, but a full scale man hunt will begin once the kids have left for school. (It has long been suspected that the kids are sympathizers of the fugitives).
