I'm not quite done reading the page but I'd better send it to my husband! The TV remote thing struck me. There is a basket on the shelf, meant for the TV guide and the instruction book for the VCR and the TV remote. I have not once found the remote there unless I put it there myself, after finding it in some weird place while straightening the room. ARGH! It often gets very close to the basket, but never quite into it. WHY?????
