She definitely has the determination to succeed.
Don't give up on that VCR Melody.
Someday soon, you will prevail.

If I used the brains I was given (when I was young), well I would have had a different outcome.
But I say "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER"
So I am at the stage of my life where I like to learn, I have two god legs, so I can walk, my brain still functions, so I CAN learn, and I'll go down fighting.
I really thought that the various colors would interrupt the signal being transmitted from the sensor to my remote. I really thought this. I said; "Well we are talking light spectrum (learned that from Star Trek), lol, "we are talking frequencies "learned that from Star Trek too), etc.
I thought that if I put colors in front of the panel on the VCR that THEN my remote would have no effect.
Boy was I wrong.
Maybe it's the towel, the cardboard box, and the blanket?
lol
And since I'm the only person I know that even uses a vcr (all my friends in my age group, not only do NOT use a vcr, they don't use dvd players, computers, dvr's, etc. or they do have cable, and their cable box is a dvr and when I ask them "what do you use your dvr for?" I am hit with "What the heck is a dvr?"
When one of my friends said that to me I responded "What do you mean, what is a dvr, you have a dvr right on top of your tv, it's your cable box, and you can record anything you want because your dvr is a sort of hard drive and it's like a mini computer sitting on top of your tv and you don't need tapes, or anything, you can just program it and you can even program a whole series of episodes and you can watch them whenever you wish"?
This is the response I got:
"A hard drive? what the heck is that?, I have a mini computer in that thing?, really??, why would I need to record episodes of anything?", and I think you're wrong because this is a cable box"
I was even asked to hook up someone's phone once and asked the person to bring me a phone line so I could connect the phone to the wall jack.
He came out with an extension cord. I said "are you serious?" and he said "oh, you can't use this?" I said "it's an extension cord for god's sake, are you serious?"
I got a blank stare. Then he brought out ALL THESE WIRES AND LINES AND CORDS that he has collected over the years and says 'pick one"
I found what I needed.
So that's why I learn whatever I need to learn, and I try to rig up stuff when I don't know how to rig up stuff.
I'm going to find out how to fix this remote problem, or I will shoot the sensor (oh I wonder if I can remove the sensor???) lol
Probably not!!!
lol
