Public Service Announcement

I don't know how many of you suffer from "remote control dysfunction", but in our house this is a frequent problem. When watching TV in our bedroom the remote controlling the satellite has to be held at the perfect angle and position to be effective and if someone is on the right side of the bed, you are totally out of luck. FRUSTRATING!!!

If you experience these difficulties, I have the answer to solve your troubles. DO NOT point the remote towards the television, DO NOT point the remote towards the receiver, DO NOT point the remote towards the dish...DO point the remote against your body. Seriously, put the remote up to your chin, your chest, your leg (the fatty part works better), really just about anywhere. I know this sounds like a Crazy Witch Doctor Remedy, but if it works WHO CARES???

My sister, Larinda, tried this and was not as successful as I was. I had her try it while we were on the phone: Maybe her cell phone interfered, quite possibly she was doing it wrong, or maybe she isn't as magnetic as me.

This discovery may have just saved my marriage (studies show that disputes over the remote control are the leading cause of divorce). I wish you all the same success I have experienced.

I don't want to go off on a rant, but...

What up with Bob?!!! I love "The Biggest Loser." I have been sucked in since season 2. I love that every season they switch things up to get rid of the game play, or at least foil the plans of the game players. And since season 2 I have loved Bob. He was always so caring and sweet, he always seemed real. Jillian is way to over the top and Kim was just pathetic. So, what up with Bob trying to manipulate everyone in the game? I can't believe after the weigh in, he was telling all his team they had to vote off Dane and only Dane. Bob is the biggest game player on the show, he doesn't care about his team, he just wants to guarantee someone from his team wins (which they never do.) He will sacrifice anyone to try and get a winner. Last season he guilted Amy into voting off Coleen instead of Vicki, and that move cost her the game. I was so happy that Bob's team did not listen to him. They voted the way they wanted to and not the way Bob wanted them to, they voted off Blaine. Bob, you're a trainer! Get over yourself!! Man, I feel better!
