it may have been a goal of  Charlies to start explore.org and never stop learning,,, welll it is.... one of....my goals to solve the problem of the stupid "smart tv's"

most of you may already know.... but judy and i had been to 133 day care and assisted living places before covid-- welL  we are at it again WITH THE SAME #$%^&*()_ RESULTS-- BLACK TV'S 

NURSING AND HOUSEHOLD STAFF ARE TOO BUSY TO EVEN START TO CONTEMPLATE ": THE TV  REMOTE"

 IN  133 PLACES WE WENT TO ,  WE DOCUMENTED 131 HAD LOST THE REMOTE -- LEAVING THEIR SMART TV'S TOTALLY BLACK

IT IS A SIMPLE ERROR-- A STAFF MEMBER PICKS UP THE REMOTE TO TRY AND GET SOMETHING FOR A CLEINT TO WATCH-- AND BEFORE SHE LOCATES WHICH OF 19 BUTTONS TURNS THE THING ON, SOMEONE HAS DROPPED A PLATE OF FOOD ON THE FLOOR-- EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER EATING IT.... AND SHE RECOGNIZED THE PRIORITY. AND  RUNS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE SLIDES IN THE MESS..

SO SHE SETS THE REMOTE DOWN ON THE NEAREST TABLE--- NOT NECESSARILY THE ONE NEAREST THE TV...NOW...THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF DUSTING AND VACUMMING COMES ALONG AND MENTALLY SAYS...  "I KNOW WHERE THAT REMOTE GOES... THERE IS A BOX OF  ONES JUST LIKE THAT IN THE CLOSET. SO SHE PUTS IT THERE..."  WELLLLLL   THERE YOU HAVE IT... A SELF PERPETUATING PROBLEM THE PREVENTS CLIENTS FROM ENJOYING THE SMART TV -- EVEN LETTING  THE TV RUN ON TEH CORALLE REEF'S  BRIGHTLY COLORED FISH WOULD BE A HUGE ASSET..... IF ONLY EACH NURSING HOME HAD AN "IT" DEPARTMENT.??????? HECK THEY CAN'T FIND ENOUGH NURSING HELP[ ... LET ALONE SOMEONE TO KNOW  ON FROM OFF IN CURRENT IT LANGUAGE...

JUDY AND I HAVE A WEEKLY GOAL OF 100 PEOPLE PATTING AND ENJOYING MY 3 DOGS ( AND WANDA WHEN AVAILABLE) YESTERDAY .. WITHOUT  ANY REALL EFFORT WE STARTRED IN PEABODY ADULT CARE-- WITH 25 PEOPLE AND THE R FRY PAN EPISODE-- WQNDA FOUND A LAP TO SIT IN THE WHOLE TIME THERE..-- THEN JUDY FOUND A HALLWAY WHICH ENDED UN A HUGE ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE WHO DID NOT EXPECT... BUT WERE THRILLED TO MEET THE 3 DOGS

I HAVE TO ADMIT.... MY PERFECT DOGS.... NEED A LITTLE SHAPPING UP-- AS I WALKED THRU THE  ROOM WITH 3 FOLLOWING, I SAT DOWN AND TOLD THEM TO LIE DOWN... AND I HAD ONLY 2-- JIMINEY HAD LEFT ME AND GONE TO FIND JUDY AND WANDA-- WHO GOT SIDETRACKED IN THE HALL...

SO THAT WAS 25 AND 48--- ON THE WAY HOME WE SAW AND STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE  ANOTHER ADULT CARE. ( NAMELESS FOR TEH MOMENT) BECAUSE THE STAFF WAS SO THRILLED THEY ALL CAME OUT TO THE CAR STANDING AROUND TALKING FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFORE ONE OF THEM SAID...." WITH ALL OF US PATTING THE DOGS, NO ONE WAS LEFT INSIDE WITH ALL. THE PATIENTS..." 

JUDY PUT IT ON OUR PEABODY LIST--- AND WE WERE 82 FOR THE FIRST DAY OF THIS WEEK...

THESE PLACES ARE STARVED FOR THIS KIND OF THING-- WE ARE LIKE THE VALEDICTORIAN IN A CLASS OF ONE. IF THERE IS ANY COMPETITION-- I AIN'T SEEN NONE YET....-- I PROVIDED ANIMALS FOR MOVIES--- I WAS GOOD--- I WAS ALSO THE ONLY ONE IN NEW ENGLAND... MY BIGGEST VIRTUE WAS--- I WAS ALWAYS ONTIME.

I LOVE THIS MARBLE MACHINE.. 

A MUSICAL GOOGLEABLE MOVIE
