What things bother you the most?

Cori

That's why god makes Q-Tips.

A little heavy duty soap made into a paste (something like spic-n-span) on a Q-tip to neutralize and clean out the gunk... followed by a couple of Q-tips dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol to clean off the soap. Let it dry and try new batteries.

Usually works for me when I get the old battery ooze. (Unless of course the ooze has done too much damage to the remote already.)

Geezer,

That's why God made guys like you--to help clueless females like me with our electronic woes. :P Thanks for the tip! :D

It's corrosion from a leaking battery.

Do what Geez said... You might also try Q-tips dipped in vinegar and/or a solution of water and baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.

If there's still corrosion after all that, you might try sanding it with a file or emery board to expose the clean metal of the contacts.

I get that a lot too, but in the GD forum mostly. I chalk it up to the fact that I prolly smell.

Ooh when I hold a door open for someone or a group of healthy ppl in a store and they don't say thank you.....I just say 'you're welcome' as they walk on by. :hehe:

Me too! It doesnt' require a lot of effort to be polite. Some people just don't get it.

@Enna: :rofl: That's grand.

Glad you liked it Wynter-chan, I find that the older I get the less nonsense I take off folks. :P

It can work, but the trick is you have to say it with a smile. :) If you say it with hostility or meaness, it defeats the purpose and you'll only wind up attracting more of that behavior in your life. :) :victory:

The only kind of flower I would be giving a guy these days is some all-purpose flour so he could fry me up some chicken. :hehe:

@Wynter: Where the heck did you find the pic of that colorful cactus? That is one plant I wouldn't want to sniff! :hehe:
