I know.
Starting from financial scratch, it was not number one on my priority list, but it has moved up.

If I heard a lot of (often crap) music during the day, I cannot listen to music I like, until my head is empty enough. Even if I do like the music I hear my head still needs silence before I can play my own music and enjoy it.

One of my kids is the same.

Apparently a friend of my daughter's stayed over.
That would be hard in my house, to have that happen unnoticed. The staircase to the second floor with the bedrooms is in the living room. But, who knows, when the time comes I sleep before the kids come home.

I should get myself a more decent stereo. This one is really getting flimsy. Sound is not too bad, I can listen to it for quite a while. (I do not have the ears of DD) But the cd player does have too weak reading power.

Getting decent headgear would be a good plan too. Ex introduced me to Sennheiser, long time ago. That was the first time I could appreciate wearing headphones. Only when not having a cold or an ear somewhat blocked. With that I can't bear earphones, it makes me dizzy. Especially with music "packed with noise".

I can't listen to stereo with headphones.  The sound meets inside my head.  I get dizzy and want to throw up.  So I usually just put one earphone on properly.  The other one is off to one side of the other ear.   Looks rather silly, but it's a cheap, quick fix.

A decent stereo and a good pair of headphones can do a lot for your quality of life, regardless.

Agreed. 

... and there is "free" music available if you can not pay.

Did I ever share the AAJ site with you guys?

I hope I did already. If not you just need a verifiable email address and there are about two thousand songs available for free. AAJ, means All About Jazz, so this is free jazz, some various forms, but it is all currently recorded and promoted. Plus, it is from the entire world of jazz.

With a really good headphone, and no trace of a cold, I do enjoy the sound experience it gives me. Otherwise, I will only bear it if I wear it the way you do.

Found this to be funny. Some are giving credit to Jeff Foxworthy, but I had heard half of it quite a bit ago. This is just a compiled list of
:hair:

To make it funnier for you, just replace the word Indiana with where ever you live. I am sure that MOST can relate to most of these silly things.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Indiana.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't even work there, you may live in Indiana.
If you've worn shorts and a jacket at the same time, you may live in Indiana.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Indiana.
If "vacation" means going anywhere south of Fort Wayne for the weekend, you may live in Indiana.
If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Indiana.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Indiana.
If you have switched from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you may live in Indiana.
If you can drive 75 mph through two feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Indiana.
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Indiana.
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Indiana.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Indiana.
If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph, you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Indiana.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Indiana.
If you know all four seasons are: Almost winter, Winter, Still winter and Road Construction, you may live in Indiana.
If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Indiana.
If you find 10°F "a little chilly" and might carry a hoodie with you today, you may live in Indiana.

So the usual death and dismemberment stories are in the news today about people having accidents with fireworks or even worse behaving stupidly with fireworks.   One story stuck out, a 22 y/o man in Maine thought it would be cool to strap a fireworks mortar to his head and set it off............he died instantly.   ::)  Apparently he was not the only one, a 47 y/o out in the western states did the same thing...with the same results........... ::)

And the Darwin Award winner for 2015 is...............................................................    :explode: :boo: :mo:
