The Vent and Rant Thread

[SneakySnake]

Well just so you know today (Saturday) was a lovely day. there are still a couple of hours before the sun goes down completely. The sting is just about out of the sun now!

Gotta go cut up chook for Moroccan chicken. But I have no puss puss (cous cous) so it will be with rice! Hopefully nice anyway.

I can try it out if you'd like to know. The controls for all of them are the same, but with the BT3030, they're all on the front. The BT320s has the volume on the front, pause/play on one side, and fast forward and rewind on the other side.

I suppose I should have explained a little about why I want it, hmm? I like to listen to music when I clean house. But if I turn it on on my computer, or even use the netbook with speakers in the dining room, I either can't hear anything else going on, like my phone ringing, or it's not loud enough where I am working. So, I started using my phone as my mp3 player, because even on the very basic hands free sets it mutes the music and rings in my ear. But, if I'm doing dishes or something and a song comes on that I want to skip, I have to dry my hands, pull the phone out of the pouch, unlock it,, skip the song, relock the phone screen and put it back in the pouch. I want to be able to just dry one hand and push a button. Thanks for the glowing review - if it turns out Chris doesn't already have something that does this, I'll probaby be getting one soon! This is also why I don't want noise cancelling headphones, I need to be able to hear other things besides the music, like someone at the door.

I completely understand! The two things that made me get it was cleaning house and working out. I'm to the point now that I never vacuum until I put the earbuds in. I can no longer stand the noise of the beast. It's a Kirby and I have mostly tile floors, so the loudness is unreal, yet... they feel grimy if I just sweep. I would definitely recommend any of the Jabra's since they're rain proof as well. The newest one is the Clipper, but I bet you can get the older dog tag style on ebay for a song.

You youngsters today, sleeping in until noon, its disgraceful!

I'm old enough now to between the napping ages....a few more years and I can get away with naps again. How many of your fathers loosen their belt/pants after dinner and fall asleep in the lounge with their had tucked into the waist of their pants? Err, maybe I should ask how many of YOU do that as well, I admit, guilty as charged.

It's ok, some people are a little slower to accept it, but insanity isn't all that bad, look at all the wonderful people you meet

I suspect we both have many good napping years ahead of us
