Woe is me, no right channel.

DAMN.

That's right. This old radio/CD/tape player has a dead speaker.

And the Beatles fully utilized stereo.

GAH. I'm missing half of Eleanor Rigby. And lots of other songs.

I'd forgotten, that's yet another factor for why I don't play much music.

Nice hearing the lovely cello parts, though. I still remember some of the fingering for that one.

Karl, honey, I want a new music player...

Throw him a hint for the Beatles Anthology CD's while you are at it, just to make up for what you are missing today. And maybe headphones?

Love, the co-dependent shopper ;-)

How pricey are those CDs? Tricky part would be getting myself to listen to them. I have too many CDs I don't listen to enough.

Headphones would have small children hanging from them and pulling on them.

So he says I can price stereos. I wonder where to look. Preferably online, given how annoying shopping in person has been recently. Any suggestions?

I also need to shop online for stuff for the nursery - I need to get a shelf for the wall, and a wall clock for above it. Jamie has pulled the small white dresser down on himself (by pulling out the bottom drawer and sitting in it) twice now, so it has been removed from the room, with the alarm clock that sat on top of it and was plugged in behind it. Any suggestions there? The nursery walls are sky blue with white sponged clouds, and old-style Winnie-the-Pooh curtains.

There are 3 anthology albums now, each $31.49. Obviously, there are better deals to be had, Amazon sells the first one used for $5. But when you total up the price for all the Beatles' albums and then consider the material which was never on albums before... it's not so bad.

Headphones are just for those times when you have time to yourself, whether from the little babies or the big one [like around here!] The Beatles were "early adopters" of stereophonic effects and good headphones really enhance the experience. YMMV.

I think the cheapest solution for the dresser situation is to install child-proofing widgets on the drawers so Jamie cannot pull them out. Surely there must be something that will work on this resourceful child... maybe even nailing the offending drawer shut, if only to be able to keep using the dresser.

What is this "time to yourself" of which you speak?

I don't get much time from the little ones, and when I do I'm off to a knitting meetup or something. And I'd like more time with the big one.

He can open those things. Or at least get the dresser partway open, which is enough to tip it over. He's quite resourceful, and quite strong.

We can do without the dresser in there. It isn't a huge one. (It's the narrow white one I got at Kory's moving garage sale) We put it in Brendan's closet, which is larger, and took out the two hanging shelf things he had in his closet, and added it to the one already in the nursery closet. So now you open the door and there's three stacks of hanging shelves.

Now I need to get another door knob babyproofing widget to keep him out of the closet.
