About a week ago, the remote for the TV in the room would not allow me to change channels. So even though I'd replaced its batteries a short time before, I replaced them again. I have a full pack of AA batteries, but this needed AAA so I "borrowed" the batteries from the TV in the bedroom. Seems to function OK though not reliably perfect.
Last week my fax machine refused to function. Various attempts to restore its function resulted in or coincided with complete loss of use of all features. Gradually Tech Support efforts restored the Internet, the Printer function and then the Copier. Everything but the Fax, so I'm mostly satisfied.
Last night I turned on the TV in the bedroom, or rather that's what I intended to do. Alas, The TV would not come on. I replaced the batteries in that remote also; again I had done that around the holiday season. I had to stand on a stack of books to reach the top of the TV set, where the controls are. I can't see them from that standpoint so I randomly pressed buttons. Finally, CNBC came on. That is deadly viewing so I turned the set off, the only viable option. So now the TV is completely non-responsive. I remembered a while back, that to get it re-functioning I would need 2 remotes, Spectrum and Insignia. Sadly enough, the Insignia remote requires AAA batteries which I had removed to restore the living room TV. So I just went without the TV for the night.
Today, I drove to the Corona-rumor-ridden S/N/S but could not locate any batteries there. Next door at Walgreen's I found the batteries I needed.
I returned to my car, which was locked because I'd parked in the Handicapped area, and a friend had warned me that the Handicapped Hangtags are often stolen. For the first time ever, my remote key would not unlock the car doors. I opened the door manually, though inserting the key met with a little resistance, most likely due to its never having been used in such a manner.
So I give thanks for what I do have---some TV access, Internet Access with Printing Function and a car that I can drive. What I don't have
is a second working TV, Fax Machine, Remote car entry. And, oh, as far as I know, the Corona virus.
