Which button would you choose?
You only get one.
Tuesday, April 24, 2007 by messiah1 | Discussion: Community
So, on my 40 minute drive home from work the other day I was thinking & driving (which is dangerous), about this...If I could have a "fob" with only 1 button from any common remote control, which would I choose. Don't get all crazy and start with the whole "space time conthingy" business. This is just for fun. Me, I think I'd like the Pause button for mine. Just to get that extra moment out of some of lifes greatness. Your turn.

Does the remote for my "Illudium Q32" explosive space modulator count?

I would have to go with the select button. That way I could select What ever I wanted.
I could "play" or "pause" and let life go by. Or select a great day for my self and others. And that is my selection for today. Have a Grand day every one...

I probably spent more time thinking about this than I should have. LOL I went through the buttons on my remote and thought about how they could each help me in different situations.
In the end, I wouldn't do a thing with the button.
If my life is wrong, I don't need a settings button, I need to work to fix it.
If my life is too hectic, I need to slow down and enjoy it not slow it down.
I don't need a pause button to give me time to think, I need to react faster.
I don't need to fast forward through the "boring stuff" I need to learn to enjoy them.
I don't need to rewind and get "do-overs"; I need to make good choices and live with them.
It went on.
What a great exercize in reminding me that I am the center of my universe and that I am responsible for how good or bad it is. Thanks!
{Disclaimer: I would like to have a volume control and maybe a zoom button, I can't see the harm but it's got to be there }

A change channel button. I seem to get bored easily.
Or maybe a power button to escape from everything once in a while. (But if I press it, would I be able to press it again to turn everything back on?? Hmmm)

My choice? ... 'any common remote"? ... "Menu". See if I had some 'options' or 'setup'.
