Remote Control Tips

RE: Remote Control Tips By piki viki (41) Profile Contact I bought a remote caddy and "trained" my hubby to ALWAYS put the remotes there. My motto pick a place for something an ALWAYS put it back when done, and you will always FIND it. Works for everything that can get misplaced. Now if I could train the baby to do the same thing!!!!

Also, when the phone rings, she has problems finding a pen and paper on her bedside table. I purchased an inexpensive binder-type day planner with a front pocket that usually holds your cell phone. I filled the inside with pre-punched lined note paper and placed SEVERAL pens in the inside pocket. Her remote slips in the cell phone compartment on the front of the planner. Now she always knows where everything is :) iggits Posted on 05/11/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remote Control Tips By (Guest Post) Try turning them over. I think the buttons keep them from falling as easy.I do this all the time. I hope this helps you as much as it has me. Christine L. IN Posted on 05/09/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remote Control Tips By cookwie (1260) Profile Contact Remotes are in a ziploc bag, sewn down the middle to make 2 separate compartments so they don't hit each other. A coiled wire is attached to the bag and to a string encircling the coaster holder. Looks tacky, but sure got the message across to the teen who lost it in the first place (yet again!).

(Guest Post) You might try the Glad Wrap cling that you press together to make a bag for it, then punch a hole in the corner, reinforce it with tape or glue and then take a length of ribbon and attach with a pin. Put another pin on the other side of the ribbon and pin to the couch. Let us know what works.

Posted on 05/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remote Control Tips By (Guest Post) Ok, this isn't a solution, but a question for manufacturers. Why don't remotes come with a beeper, and TV's come with a button you can push to make the darn remote beep so you can find it? If it weren't for being able to call my cell phone when I lose it, I'd never find it at all!

My 11-year-old step-son had what I thought was a brilliant idea if only somebody could figure out how to make it work. He thinks couches should hang from the ceiling like a porch swing and the TV remote could hang there right beside it. It would never get lost again!
