Pointing and clicking my way through life.
I woke up this morning, reached for my light turner-onner clicker and became upset when I realized I did not have one of them. I got to thinking..sure be great to have a pointer-clicker for my lights.

I got pointer clicker for my CD player. With out the pointer clicker the CD player is almost useless. Clicker is necessary to do "set ups" on the player. Hope I do not misplace that clicker.

My DVD player has a clicker too. Without the clicker it too would be pretty useless.

The TV clicker for the living room TV does not work very well. Some times when the TV is clicked off it turns itself right back on. Often it waits till my wife goes to bed before it turns its self back on. That is a bad clicker. I almost threw it at the TV the other night, I click mute, it comes right back on. I was trying to mute the President*. I had to change channels to get away from him.

Some guys I know have a clicker thingy to start their car. Boy I want one of them. Be great for winter time. I could just click my car on, get it warmed up. That would be a good clicker to have.

I bet it would be nice to have a "life clicker" one could maybe just click into the fun parts of life, click off the bad parts.

That would be a good clicker to have too.

3. Anybody ever answer their remote
instead of the portable phone? I'm guilty of that.

I also would like a pager like I have for the portable phone for such items as:

my glasses
the remote controls for tv/dvd/vcr
fiance's truck keys
and just about anything that can be misplaced which happens to include most of my fiance's shoes/boots/clothing.

4. Just remember what a hassle life was without pointer clickers.
I mean, you had get up off the couch to change TV channels. Boy, how lazy we have all become. But it's a fact that now electronic gadgets don't work without all these pointer clickers. And what a pain. I have one for the satellite, one for the TV and one for the DVD and I am always picking up the wrong one.

5. light commander, lights on!
We were at good friends for dinner the other evening, and they had this little gadget that was voice operated. They'd say "light commander", and the thing would bleep a little, then they'd say "dim lights", or "lights off" or "lights on", and the thing would bleep something different and do those things to the lights. It was very cool.
