It's as if I wanted to buy blankets and instead of phrasing it "blankets shopping" or "blankets store" or "blankets price" I phrased it "COVER BED SUPPLIES." http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/09/14/dad_this_is_facebook#c604887 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:24:36 +0000 c604889@http://metachat.org Oh, I just laughed so hard that my husband asked what was wrong with me. My mother has been embroiled in a fight with her television, such that she does not understand that her remote needs new batteries even after the EIGHTY FIVE TIMES I have told her.

This is because she was looking at her cordless phone, not her remote.
