Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 14 Dec 09

Personally, I hate remote control devices. We have them for everything, don't we? From controlling our televisions, VCRs (yes, we still have one lol), DVD players, hi-fi units. They are everywhere. From a clutter-free perspective...

Do you remember when your family got their first new vehicle? What about television? VHS? Microwave? Computer? Gaming console? Do you remember much about these things and if so, share some details?

Last Movie

Celestiamoon @Celestiamoon (231) • Canada 16 Jun 08

What was the last movie that you have seen and what did you think about it? I watched Jumper over the week-end and the movie was alright. I haven't been able to sit down and watch a movie in a while so it was nice.
