Changing the batteries in the DVD remote reeks havoc on TV watching

The batteries die in the DVD player's remote and all TV watching is interrupted.  If only because we have programmed the remote to work with the TV as well.

Should be a simple fix, right?  But who remembers the code to enter and the exact steps needed to make it work? Luckily, the Internet holds information, even for 10 year old TVs and their 5 yr old DVD counterparts.

So for the next time the batteries die, the code to enter on the DVD remote for the RCA brand TV we own is 1461. Specifically, hold down the
"Quickview" button while entering the code.

Funny email going around: LDS Church explained in cars.


High Priests are like old jeeps, they can't carry much but
They're reliable and will never leave you stuck.




Relief Society women are like Lamborghinis. They are very
beautiful, move really fast and are lots of fun, but you had
better spend time and money maintaining them or you'll be
sorry.


 
Elders Quorum brethren are like freight trains. They can
carry a lot and work hard, but it takes a lot of energy to
get them going.


Young Men are like bullet bikes. They can go 200 miles/hour and are
lots of fun but one mistake and they'll wreck fast.



Young Women are like Miata clubs. Cute little cars that
look like they're having fun but they're always in tight
packs and can't seem to figure out where they're going.



And Primary.

Argument for Argument's Sake

Kyle's been spending more time at home during the day, and he's been surprised by how much Paul and Erica can argue and fuss. (I guess he didn't really believe me when I told him.) One morning, we were all at the table eating when I actually focused on what the argument was about. Then I told Kyle, "These two, who do not even know their numbers, are watching the face clock and arguing about what time it is." Talk about arguing for argument's sake. Of course, I feel that I must also say that most of the time, Paul and Erica enjoy each other and are good friends.
