I'm short too and can't reach the cord, but dad has ours is wired to a switch which is good for me cuz I can reach that. lol
It just amazes me how easy they make things yet they complain about how fat the country is getting. Well gee, you make it ok to be lazy and make everything ten times easier, of course we are going to take advantage. My boyfriends bothers kids...the oldest one is so damn lazy. Won't go outside to play, sits and watches tv or is on computer all the time. And they make it ok, they don't make them do anything. She's only 10 and she's really overweight. She's going to have health issues. Her mom is awful at house chores as far as laundry and cleaning. I guess last week Barb was gone and her mom and sister were over cleaning the house for her while the 10 yr old was on the couch watching tv. That's just retarded. Your making nothing but a bad example for your kids. We went and stopped by their house yesterday to look around cuz might rent it after they move out...you can tell she doesn't clean. Carpet has never been shampood, let alone barely swept it looked like.
Ok, I'm done ranting.
