(((Nora))) it's always terrible to lose a fur friend.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm so sorry, Nora. When I lost Petri he had been the only constant in my life for 10 years, so I can certainly empathize with what you are feeling. I can only echo what everyone else has said about the stoicism of cats.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

PREACH! I really feel like Apple is missing a pretty good niche audience here. DW and I both have classic iPods with a ton of room and we will cry forever when they die.
My dad liked his classic iPod because he could connect it to his car speakers and use the controls by feel -- the edges of the wheel were clear enough that he could find where the different controls were without having to look at it while driving. With the new one, if he wants to skip a song or switch to a different playlist or something, he has to take his eyes off the road.

I think it's just a much smaller market that consumes music this way now. By far the majority of the people I know have switched to streaming services like Spotify. I use the Apple Music streaming service, I used to adore my huge iPod, but I notice I don't need it any longer, between unlimited data and cloud based streaming of my collection.

ND, did you hang on to any of your iPods? Are they in suspended animation anywhere?

Also, for all that I work in tech, I don't want to keep my music in the cloud. Noooooo! I must have my precious on a back-up drive, and in an iPod!

I have several shelves with CDs.

I have lidded storable tubs of CDs, because I needed the shelf space for books. Plus once I transferred the CDs to the iPod, I didn't need them immediately available.
