I finally broke down and bought a new universal remote.  The hard part was finding one with a CC feature (closed captioned / subtitle). Somewhere along the line, I started using it and never went back.  If I miss the first couple of words of a line, the rest of it doesn't even sound like English to me. Anyway, I managed to get the TV and DVD player programmed in easily.  Haven't gotten the VCR in yet, but I ran out of energy before I went through all the available codes.  I was pretty surprised the DVD coded so easily, as it's a very El Cheapo player and usually wasn't on any code lists.

But why do I love my new remote?

Because it has BUTTONS!!

My last remote for my television is the original remote. My tv is probably about ten years old. The remote has gone through six rabbits, all of which found remote buttons yummy.  It didn't have a single button left.

My favorite Bunny And Remote story is when I caught Flippity eating buttons on one of my remotes.  I went ACK, he saw me coming and went ACK and dove under the bed.  BUT, he had his priorities in order.  He took the remote with him.

This one has BUTTONS.  I love BUTTONS.  It even has oversized HUGE BUTTONS. 

I love my new remote.

I freely admit that I am a small claims court TV show junkie.  The things people sue over, not to mention the excuses they use to get out of paying for the things they are being sued over, simply fascinate me.  And sometimes makes my brain hurt.  Mostly, I just love to see stupid and arrogant people getting stomped on by the judge.  Although I do have my limits on stomping-judges, which is why I have a selection of "favorites", and tend to avoid others.

My favorites include The Peoples Court, with Judge Millan, because she always cracks me up, and yet she's tough as nails (and scarey) when the situation calls for it.

However, on Friday, I was only listening with half an ear, since the other ear and a half were on the phone, so I missed what this particular case was about... but I DID catch when the plaintiff handed up a contract as evidence.  A raggedy-edged paper with a hole in the middle.  When the judge demanded to know the reason for the state of the contract, the plaintiff admitted rather sheepishly that he had a pet rabbit.

I nearly fell out of my recliner with the giggles.  Especially when the judge said that was a first for her, then again when it turned out that that was the ONLY copy of the contract, since the defendant did not have HIS copy, so the case boiled down to bunny-nibbled evidence.

OK, I just HAD to put this pic in!  From Moscow's first rabbit agility competition:

 

"Umm... Help?  A little help here?"  or
"Momma!  I's stuck!"

wendyzski sent me this one from baaaabyanimals and I've been giggling about it all afternoon.

Speaking of big furry feet, I heard funny noises in the other room.  My "momma radar" went off, and I investigated. The Phooka had a box of ziplock baggies in his mouth and was banging it from side to side.  He saw me coming, went ACK! and ran.  With one of the baggies.  I had to chase him around the living room and crawl behind a recliner after him to get it back.  I don't do crawling real well.  Six foot tall blonde sticking out from behind a recliner, chasing a bunny.

It's a real good thing I live alone...
