DVDs

I finally had my new dvds lined up to watch and guess what--something is wrong w/the dvd player because the audio keeps cutting out. The pic is fine, just no audio. So, until I manage to find the booklet that might help me figure out what's wrong (believe me, I have no f'n clue where the damned booklet is hiding; for all I know my idiot brother tossed it when he left), no more dvds. I am pissed. Seriously pissed. Here is a nice long holiday weekend and I have no way to watch my dvds. I can play them in my 'puter, but the sound is minimal and the chair I'm using is damned uncomfortable. I suppose I can find another one super-cheap on eBay but I don't really have the money to do that. The ideal solution would be for me to find the booklet for my mom's dvd player but there's not much chance of that either, more's the pity. I know where her booklet should be, safe in a large plastic "cover"--but I can't find *that* either. Again, no f'n clue as to where it might be. Grrrrrr!!
