Thanks for the info on "Solitary" :-)


I don't know if it's really possible to experience a horrible tv emergency, but I think I am close to it today. My TiVo remote control is irreversibly broken. I am off to the electronic stores in a little while to find a replacement. There is no way I can wait out a few days to have one shipped from an online store...LOL

Yes, Naja, that's an "Emergency. Emergency." I can hear a particular voice in my head saying that in a movie. It was a hysterically funny movie from the '60s "The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming". May have been Alan Arkin or John Philip Law who said it (or another actor / character). Very funny movie.

oh my, Colordeagua, Best Buy and Circuit City did not carry the TiVo replacement remotes in the stores. I had to order it online and the estimated delivery date 1/25-1/30. I wanted to order it for half the price from this vendor on eBay, but all of his customers were complaining that he was taking a month to ship the remotes.

Naja, how did yours break? Maybe I should order an extra TiVo remote -- just in case?

It got knocked off the table onto the hard tile floor, and shattered apart. I have tried everything to get it to work again. It would have been fine, I think, had it just fallen off the table to the carpet..... But I really knocked into it with force and it shot to the tile part of floor like a bullet with force, rather than just falling.

I chose the $3.00 ground shipping, Hukd...The next 2 choices were $8.00 2 day, and then some ridiculous price for one day, but they won't even be packing it until Monday anyway no matter which I chose. If I didn't have this Saturday and Sunday in the way, I would have had it probably in 3 days, but things never break on a convenient day..LOL

NO joke, I don't even know what to do with my hands while sitting here in front of the tv without a tivo remote...LMAO...If you are an avid commercial skipper like I am, and sit there with the remote in your hand for entire shows, you know what I mean..hahahahaha

This is some kind of scary electronic withdrawal.

Naja, were you from Chicago or the 'burbs? I'm in Lombard. I traveled to KC, MO a few times during '70s for work. I liked KC. Have you been there long.

It's cute the way she pops up when you call her!

So one of the generic remotes won't work?

Jimmer, look closer, she doesn't budge when I call her by name...she only responds to "puppy treat!"...LOL That's what we say when it's time for a biscuit..LOL

and I don't know about generic remotes, Jimmer...never saw one with tivo commands on it.

Naja, I'm uploading a book. Will that help? It's Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Even though I zipped it, it will take a while since it is 14 cd's.

Do you have any murder mysteries, or supernatural scary things, Chili? Those are my favorite.

Let me make a list for you. It will take me a few minutes. Do you know how to convert .aa format .mb4 format to .mp3? My friend sent me 2G flash drive of audio books but my mp3 won't read those formats and I'll have to convert them somehow.

The easiest way I know how Chili is to make your music CD's from them, and then rip them again into mp3 back onto your computer. Only do that if you were planning on making making your own cd's of them anyway...otherwise, don't go through the trouble just for me.

I didn't think of that. You are so smart, Naja. Actually, I just got them yesterday so hadn't given it much thought yet. I want to make my own cd's of them anyway so I don't have to store them on my hard drive right now. I had my hard drive crash last summer and lost everything so don't want to do that again.

That's a trick we learned when Real started giving us free music to download every month with our superpasses :-) No one seemed to know what to do with that strange format they gave us to download. It was only copyable like 4 times before it expired, and that was our work-around :-)

Chili, all that Sue Henry stuff perks my interest. I did a quick look up on google for those titles, and that's my kind of thing :-)
