...and the winner is...

Here it is, the item that may possibly just make my life a wee bit simpler. I purchased it from Epay. I can't wait until it gets here!

The idea behind this is similar to when you page the handset of your cordless phone. Not that I know what that's like. I'm just sayin'. Anyhoo, you attach these tags to things one might lose often, say, keys. Then you use the remote to locate it.

It comes with eight receivers. I'm going to attach one to my cell phone. Yeah, I know. I should be able to call it, right? The problem is that sometimes it shuts itself off if the battery gets low, and then I can't do that. I just have to search. UGH!

Don't get all up in my face about how I'm going to lose the remote. I am NOT going to lose the remote. I shall put it with the other remotes on Sweet Baboo's side of the bed - with the other sacred remotes of which I Am Not Allowed To Touch. Then it will be safe.

Or, I could take advantage of the fact that the base comes with a magnetic mounting bracket that attaches to metal surface, and attach it to something. Like my refrigerator.

  1. Since you specifically forbid us to "get all up in your face" about losing the remote, I won't.

    Of course, this remote isn't in the category of TV remote, unless you have toddlers, than all remotes are fair game.

    We need a remote to find our remotes, because the kids like to carry them around "turning things on and off."

  3. the color coding looks like a bit of a nightmare. How are you going to remember which thing you color coded to what?

    Oops.

    Not helping, am I?

    You need a labelmaker.

    Oh, never mind, that's probably a Good Thing.

  7. One step ahead of you, Pirate. We do have a label-maker, and electronic one. And it wasn't even regifted.

  9. More to the point Al, can these things be attached to your mind? I've lost my mind before and would have appreciated a beeper.
