When the machines take over the world

We have all seen the sci-fi movies where computers and robots end up taking over the world. I am here to say that if it ever takes place that I will be your hero. Single handedly I am capable of destroying everything electronic. Let me explain. A few months ago, the remote censor stopped working on the TV, Several remotes later, we now have old school remote control, one is 6 and the other is 9 if you know what I mean. The DVR still works so TV is still manageable. About a month ago my hard drive on the computer crashed. And with that my ipod no longer recognizes the new hard drive as the authorized library so I had to wipe it clean and start over. Last week I got caught in the rain and my cell phone decided to stop allowing calls including the number 3 and 6. Andrew dropped his portable DVD player out the van door on the trip, and the A/C and radio don't work in my car. I would be very happy to go to horse and buggy, but I am afraid that I might beat a dead horse or something. So as I try to rewire my life, the manual button to the TV broke and we are relegated to using a pen to activate the internal button which cannot be good. I write this to say that my electronic empire is in shambles and it won't be long until my internet access goes haywi....
