I'm an engineer, so these things are of interest to me. The medication was supposed to help with that but so far, no dice.
Now that you mention it, I don't know of a remote that would stand up to a box-spring with two adults and a giant mutant Boston terrier sleeping on it.
But it does look like that, doesn't it?
Another FReeper told me that between the remote control and Salty's huge grin, it looks like he's been watchin' dirty movies!
