As long as you're in charge of the heat/ac, you should be in charge of the TV too.
Don't get me started about television remotes...

1. She channel surfs into infinity. Runs through every cable channel., switches over to the streaming services, starts the whole cycle over again, and maybe, just maybe finally STOPS on a show that she first found BEFORE her quest began!
2. She never puts the remotes back in the same spot. How hard is it? Grab the remote from the table. Put it back on the table when you find something. Noooooo. She tosses it beside her. OR she makes a run to the kitchen, takes the remote WITH her and leaves it there. OR she comes back to the couch, sits on one of them, turns to me and asks, "Where's the remote?" OR...
3. She drops the remotes on the floor all the time. Every third drop or so a back cover pops off and batteries scatter everywhere--usually under the couch or the bed. Guess who must search for the batteries and repair the remotes? Thank you.
4. She grabs the wrong remote and turns of the television. Wait. That's wrong. She turned off the cable receiver, not the tv. "Baby? The television is still on..." She says, "I turned it off." No. You turned off the cable. The tv's still on. I stopped asking her to sit down and learn the remotes years ago. And a universal remote control? Tried that. "It's too many buttons!!!"

Whatever.

If I did not love her so much, I would hate her. :laugh:

Sounds like you need voice remote!

I thought people who surfed too fast to even see what they're passing over was bad, until I started watching TV with my mother. She changes the channel to something neither of us want to watch, but leaves it there while she tells me another story about her friends that I have no interest in listening to.

"Ma, you gonna change the channel?"
"You see anything you want to watch?"
"Not yet, that's why I'm asking."

I'll start. 70 degrees, One leg in and one leg out. Fan on low for just a "White Noise" and my left hand on my wife hip. Soft night light in the hall (Not totally dark).

Currently we have three remotes, although we technically have five. Two sets of television and cable remotes and a single Firestick remote. All have voice control.

Ask me how often she even tries the voice control feature. Go ahead. Ask. I double dare you. :muttley:

I use the voice control feature all the time. We got into an argument the last time I suggested using it was a ton easier. "Look! Leave me alone and let me watch television the way I want!" I turned into Billy Dee Williams from The Empire Strikes Back. "ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!" :facepalm:



Edit: I had misquoted Lando Calrissian. :laugh:

Dark as possible, we have those blackout curtains on almost all our windows. Always gotta have a fan blowing right in our faces, and we keep it around 70 degrees in the summer, 68-70 in the winter. Year round I sleep with a silky sheet and one of those Cowboys fleece throw blankets, cant stand a typical comforter unless the heat happens to go out and its really cold. Wifey has one of those weighted blankets and loves it, I could never.

My mother has voice remote now, but she doesn't seem to know what to say. And she uses it the same way she uses the speaker phone...she hold it like a harmonica and shouts into it.

We have two TVs we watch. If I'm with her in the living room she is in charge of the remote. If we watch TV in the den then I'm in charge. We rarely watch TV together anyway. My wife is incredibly intelligent (and beautiful too - way out of my league), but she watches some trash TV. LOL

Spring and fall we keep the windows open and shut down the A/C and heater. In the summer we will turn A/C down from 79 to 77. Winter, we keep the heat at 66. Vertical fan is right next to the bed running year round, I'll just add an additional blanket during the winter.

Head and of the bed and foot of the bed are both lifted slightly.
