I'm a serial manual reader, it drives my wife insane, she's a press random buttons and see what happens person. I'm forever resetting the TV and satellite box -.-
We got our first VCR in 1982. For about a year, it flashed 12:00. I kept thinking, sooner or later my folks will get annoyed by that and learn how to fix it. They never did. I finally set the clock myself.

My parents were "it's technology, don't touch anything it might kill us" people.

Looking at the picture with Hillary and her bodyguards in masks, it drives home the fact that politicians seem to have no real semblance of a "private life,"
One thing I have admired is she did stick with Clinton through the Monica things. How many Republicans who are supposedly hardcore pro-family can say something similar? Definitely not the oodles of remarried ones. If it wasn't such an ugly campaign I think she could have probably used that to draw up support for being pro-family.

I don't know about the year, but my parents were the same. If I didn't set it it didn't get set due to my moms general dislike of TV and my dads lazy sloppiness.

I find it interesting how something that annoyed me can find acceptance with others. I finally couldn't stand watching it and waiting for them to do something.

Here's something random and meaningless. It was on this date back in 1767 (254 years ago) that Mason and Dixon drew a line: Mason and Dixon draw a line, dividing the colonies - HISTORY

On October 18, 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon complete their survey of the boundary between the colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland as well as areas that would eventually become the states of Delaware and West Virginia. The Penn and Calvert families had hired Mason and Dixon, English surveyors, to settle their dispute over the boundary between their two proprietary colonies, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

In 1760, tired of border violence between the colonies’ settlers, the British crown demanded that the parties involved hold to an agreement reached in 1732. As part of Maryland and Pennsylvania’s adherence to this royal command, Mason and Dixon were asked to determine the exact whereabouts of the boundary between the two colonies. Though both colonies claimed the area between the 39th and 40th parallel, what is now referred to as the Mason-Dixon line finally settled the boundary at a northern latitude of 39 degrees and 43 minutes. The line was marked using stones, with Pennsylvania’s crest on one side and Maryland’s on the other.

When Mason and Dixon began their endeavor in 1763, colonists were protesting the Proclamation of 1763, which was intended to prevent colonists from settling beyond the Appalachians and angering Native Americans. As the Britons concluded their survey in 1767, the colonies were engaged in a dispute with the Parliament over the Townshend Acts, which were designed to raise revenue for the empire by taxing common imports including tea.
