It started in kindergarten with pens and ink pots and blotting paper. Since then I've loved writing. Transferring the noise in my head to paper calms the chaos. If a worthwhile thought occasionally emerges, I'll keep it here with memories, stories and other random trivia, of interest mainly to myself and, with a bit of luck, to the odd passerby.

"E.T. Phone Home!"
You know you're having a bad day when you pick up the TV remote, punch in the telephone number you need to call.......And wonder why they're not picking up.
I reckon all those remote controls were designed by people with evil and mischievous minds, who probably madly giggle while imagining the unlimited confusion they can inflict on the innocent and unwary.
We have a sheaf of the wretched things , all silvery-grey , and I'm never holding the right one ! But , an old fashioned girl at heart , I've kept my traditional black telephone with the irritating curly-wurly flex so can at least 'phone at will .

And then finally discover why you can't change channels on the phone.....yes, I know!
Hey -- at least you can get your hands on the remote -- I'm thinking it was a good day!!!
and that is why i ALWAYS check for dial tone first - does that date me?!?
been there, done that!

Funny lady! You were gone too long, this last time.
Relax, have some tea and come by to visit sometimes. ;D

I've had days like that! blessings, marlene
You have just come up with an idea for the latest technological gadget - a remote phone!
I'm sure your mind was on higher things. Such as quilt-making.
I agree with Isabelle. :)) And, ha, you made me chuckle. :)
Modern technology has so many gifts... and so much confusion.
Don't feel bad - I tried to change the channel with my phone.
I have done that!
I keep pointing my car key at the garage door and wondering why it isnt opening. And I've done it more than once! Merry Christmas dear one.
