If he doesn't want an iPod, why are you getting it?
Posted By: Lllls on 2008-12-04
In Reply to: Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands? - I'm confused. Any help will be appreciated.
Is it your idea that he'd like one?
A few years ago when iPods had just come out, my husband bought me one for my birthday. I didn't want one, and I he knew nothing about them. It sat in it's box for about a month, and then I finally used it. Well, that was it. I became addicted! I now think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. Heck, as far as I'm concerned, NASA could have saved the trouble of going to the moon, because the iPod is better. LOL!
I'm just joking, but I really love my iPod. I eventually got a video iPod and I also have a shuffle. I like them both. I really enjoy podcasts, which are like radio shows produced on just about every subject you can imagine. I have enjoyed learning about new things and even taking Italian lessons on my iPod. I also download audio books along with music and travel videos.
I like my shuffle because it has no moving parts. I take it on hikes and runs and use it when I work out. They are now about $50. They're very simple. You simply load the audio and the machine plays it for you. You can't select songs or see any info. The video iPod has way more features, and you can even watch full-length movies on it. I've also loaded photos and can carry those with me. Of course, it has all the audio features of music. My son has an iPod touch which he seems to like. He's an engineer, and he likes gadgets. LOL. The nano is still available, and they are a nice step in between the video iPOD/touch and the shuffle.

Hey, have at it. If you want a lazy, apathetic, not affectionate, doesn't listen, doesn't make
can reach him!!! Let me know if you're interested.
It doesn't make me mad but it doesn't sound intelligent either (sm)
I am sure if all of those people who were aborted were living, some would be good and some would be bad, in the same proportion as there is good to bad now. Your statement makes no sense. So somehow the babies who were aborted were meant to be aborted because they were bad seeds? Whatever. Sorry, that's just silly.
It doesn't always work that way though - some give but it doesn't come back like that nm

IPOD
My daughter has the 30gig IPOD with video and shes loves it and her brother has a shuffle which he equally enjoys.
She has added all the CDs she used to carry around everywhere with her to the IPOD as well her friends share music with her. Her grandparents aunts and uncles send her Itunes gift cards so that she can purchase videos (0.99 and up) and such and download them as well as whole cds which she can purchase to download for $9.99 and they cost me alot more to actually buy and then she will burn a copy to save in case of loss.
Also the IPOD gives me peace on long trips because each has their own music and I can set the radio anywhere I want.
SUGGESTION If you order your IPOD directly from apple they will engrave for free (whichs helps if it is lost) as well as ship for free and you can also purchase an extended warranty. BTW the new shuffle is extremely affordable at 79.99 if your child is like my son and only has a few CD's but if she is a musci fiend like my daughter you will want to get a larger one. Also you can purchase accessories from ebay and other places for a fraction of normal prices.
HAVE A GREAT XMAS
It's on my iPod, but...
It's mostly a lot of 90s pop and alternative music (Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, etc). I think I also have some Eric Clapton and Elton John on there as well!
iPod
About four years ago I received my first iPod as a birthday gift. I hadn't asked for it and didn't know why my husband thought I'd want one, especially as I had a really nifty portable CD player. I tried to get that iPod to work, but the iPod and my PC just would not play well together. In the heat of techno-stress (the sort of stress that only comes from not being able to get tech things to work properly), I had a bona fide tantrum. I was ready to throw the iPod into the trash. My son, however, after laughing at me for a while, helped me out. I have no idea what happened, but I am now on my second iPod (moved up to a video) and am hoping that hubby gives me an iPod shuffle for my b-day today, because it has no moving parts, and I want to use the shuffle for jostling workouts.
I love my iPod(s) and think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. LOL. I found that my iPod works best with iTunes. If you ask iTunes to open when your iPod is connected, the program and the iPod will greet each other and talk like old friends. Also, check that you don't have any other programs, such as RealPlayer designated as your default audio player on your computer. Sometimes, another audio program will open at the same time as iTunes, and that just confuses the iPod. The iPod will work much better with iTunes, since they are made for each other.
And once you get the iPod working, check out the podcasts at the Music Store on iTunes. Podcasts are fantastic little radio/video programs on just about every subject imaginable.
Good luck with it! Once it's working, you'll love your iPod.

I have an iPod too, and I love it! I have everything on mine from Bach to Metallica and everything in between. If yours plays movies you can use Quicktime to down load movies from DVD to your iPod. Great for long car rides or waiting rooms with the kids.
Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
I have an IPod Nano.
Yes, you can record songs from your CDs. I also have an adaptor for my car and a home stereo you attach it to so you can play the music out loud. I really do not use anything else for music anymore. I love it!
An IPOD cover. nm

Thanks - mine's not an Ipod though- would (sm)
would your computer not even recognize it as a mass storage device?
Love my Ipod too
Do you have the plug in adaptor so you can play it out loud in the car and the home docking station to play out loud while home? Got to really hate buying entire CDs just for a couple of songs and then the pain of having to skip through all the songs I didn't like. Then started making my own CDs but oh what a pain that was. This is just SO neat. Love it!
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
Help -- I got an IPOD shuffle and
I don't know how to get the music from playlist to my IPod.
Can you help me out? ');>![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif")
IPod envy
It kills me, but I cannot justify spending the $$ on an IPod when my curtains are blowing in the wind through my 30-year-old rattling windows and other miscellaneous home improvements that need to be done. Yup, the CD player is big and awkward and it eats batteries. I am waiting for my son to get whatever new and improved IPod exists and then he can give me his old outdated one!
Glad you like the name!
No problem. Don't get him an IPOD. nm

I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!
My favorite thing for iPod -
My daughter's best friend bought her a cassette tape attachment that you can plug in an iPod to in the car and play it over the cassette player. It was just $10.00 at WalMart, and between her iPod and mine, we never need to listen to the radio again!
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
I have an 80 gig iPod video and love it
I couldn't live without mine!
recently got an IPOD video - how do
I organize my music on it? I recently added Christmas music, and instead of taking it off, I wanted to put it in its own folder for next year. Does anyone know how to do that?
got my IPOD - what are your favorite downloads
trying to think of everything I want to put on mine - so far - everything from Creed, Joni Mitchell, Paul Rodgers, Sarah MacLaughlin, Peter Gabriel, and the theme to "Saving Grace" - Everlast - I LOVE that song!
Son wanted an iPod last year...
He wanted one really badly but I just couldn't afford to spend that much. I ended up buying a Sony Walkman instead. It had a bigger screen, twice the memory and has just as many features as the iPod for half the price. He loves that thing, never leaves home without it. Now the only problem is finding accessories to go with it. It can hook up to any speaker system, it just uses a regular headphone/speaker jack but there are so many accessories out there specific to iPod that the Sony won't fit directly into the holders, have to use the speaker/headphone jack instead.
I guess it all depends if he's an accessories kind of person (which the iPod is the better choice since it's the leader in the market for accessories) or if he just wants a good MP3 player to carry around with him, then the Sony is perfect. Also, if you take a look a Zune, you can order one with a custom lasered cover, which is a pretty neat detail.
Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands?
xx
If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
any ipod savvy people out there??
My ipod just bit the dust and I just purchased a new one tonight. When I tried to sync Itunes to my new ipod I wasn't able to do so, as the sync option was grayed out. I am going through severe ipod withdrawal (an entire WEEK without it!) and I just can't seem to figure out how to sync itunes to my new ipod. Is there a brilliant genius out there who can help me with this? My daughter and I would be eternally grateful!
I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun
It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen! I really don't want to just get him a gift card. "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable. He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore! 
I have that song on my iPod and listen to it when I'm working out
NM
:-) Birthday Girl - Mine is not an Ipod - LOL!!! sm
Sorry...just giggling over here. Maybe when I take this one back I should get an Ipod instead ;-)
...and iPod things adds a whole other dimension of terror to that
s
That actually doesn't look that bad!
I love pork especially at a pig roast...by the end of the day the meat just falls off the bones it is so tender. Doesn't look too terrifying!
Doesn't take much to get you going does it? nm

If a dog doesn't have anything
to do, he will occupy himself. His thing is barking, which isn't fair to the neighbors. I had a neighbor who'd let his laborador bark for hours on end while I was trying to work. Almost drove me insane. To catch a break I'd occasionally take a rawhide, stuff all the cracks with peanut butter, and throw it over the fence. Ah, blessed peace for a while.
Cesar Millan has a website. I'm sure you can get lots of ideas there. It's all about exercise, discipline and then affection. You have to communicate your leadership and also use up his energy and teach him what it is you expect of him.
Why doesn't she get her own
It sounds to me like she wants you to pay her bills. She'll have to find a job and get a roommate like any one of us would. Why should you compromise what you have with your boyfriend when she'll be coming age very soon and can be out on her own? Let her know she's welcome to visit or whatever, but you'd rather see her pursue her own living quarters. 
That is my mom, she just doesn't get
it. She also thinks it is because of my husband. Nobody is good enough for me. Doesn't matter who it is. She has been telling everyone it is because she will not lend us money. My husband and I both work our butts off and have never borrowed money from anyone but the bank.
My brother and I have not been the closest and about two weeks ago, I called him. I now believe that a lot of reason why we are not close is due to my mother. He is four years younger and I was out of the house by the time he was 13. I always got my mother's point of view of what was going on with him and I should have known better. She told me he doesn't talk to her because she won't lend him money. He and I thought we didn't have a lot in common, so most of the communication was between him and my mom, then mom would "tell" me. He doesn't want her to see his son either, but being that he is divorced, his ex-wife allows her to see him. He said that she was always intervening in his life, no matter what it was. She kicked him out of her home when he was 15 and he has never looked back. He now has his PhD as a recent graduate and is very successful. We both believe it is a control issue with her.
That leads to this, I have researched grandparents rights as well. In Michigan, as long as the parents are married and fit parents, grandparents have no rights. If you were never married, separated or divorced or worse yet, proved to be unfit, then they have rights to see the children. Something to think about.
He doesn't like going out...
im at a loss because I am a social butterfly and I want the man that I love with me all the time. Don't get me wrong i LOVE my girls nights out, but I want him there sometimes. I think this is one of the main issues holding me back from getting married. I do respect that he doesn't like to dance, or go to bars... but he doesn't even like to go to my friend's houses... He is a little on the shy side and I have been with him 6 years (and we have known each other since we were in 7th grade - about 15 years-, lived down the street from each other...) And I can't see myself without him but I know this is keeping me from marrying him because I want that socialization. Even when we have a family I almost am positive I am going to want to have friends over with their kids... bbq's in the summer... stuff like that and he just isn't like me at all in that way. How do I deal with this? Oh yea even if he is willing to compromise I feel like he hates it though and that is still really hard for me to deal with. If he is just sitting there not having fun that's almost worse than him not coming at all... :( we are at a crossroads right now and that is why i am asking. we either stay together or dont...
I think the same way - if the OP doesn't
like the smoke, then she'd best look elsewhere. It's not fair to say "smoke outside" when they are paying the rent, too. Some people just amaze me!
mine doesn't...
I make Paula Deen's southern cornbread dressing...go to Food Network's site and look up the recipe. It's yummy, has no meat whatsoever, and makes a ton of dressing...HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
My mother's doesn't either...
Made with Pepperidge farm stuffing mix, white wine, mushrooms, celery, onions, chopped walnuts, seasoning. Not sure what else but it's different and delicious, still the best I've ever had!
Doesn't sound right
under those circumstances. Then whenever someone wanted new wall-to-wall they could just crap it up themselves and submit a claim and get a new rug.
At any rate, even if this is somehow true, the insurance company will only jack up your rate or drop you all together, so you're going to pay either way. And then you'll have a claim history and no other company will want you either.
I agree, it's more than just pot. Pot doesn't do that. sm
I have heard that taking Niacin helps clear out of your system faster as well as trying to "sweat" it out like he is. He also needs plenty of sunshine and you to be there for him. Rather than turning against him, stuck together with him and help him through it. It will make your relationship so much better in the long run and he needs the love and support of you to help him get to that place. Admire him for trying to break his addiction. It is very addicting. His rollercoaster of sweating, can't sleep, and emotional issues sound more related to crack/crank or methampetamines to me. I'd tell him in order for you to be supportive and helpful to him right now, he needs to at least be honest with you.
I can't tell the difference when something has MSG and when it doesn't. nm

I am not saying my hubby doesn't look
he just doesn't let me see him looking. Hey, I still look too.
He doesn't like the masks...
my DD has taken over the mask and my kids like to sleep with fans now too. I just turn them off before I go to bed.
She doesn't impress me though
Just something about her... She's like never smiling. Even when he gave her a rose last night, she just looks mad. Could just be the editing.. maybe there's something about her he does like. I think he might like Tessa... and Amber. I can't believe I let myself get into this show again.
With our experience, he doesn't need
We have bought several homes and I have been an IC MT the entire time. I have never had this ask of me. They just want to know what my income has been, as they know being self-employed can mean different amounts from paycheck to paycheck. Of course, if your husband is empoyed somewhere, they will put more thought into that
(they just don't say it). I had loan officers just start talking to my husband as if I'm not in the room just because they hear self-employed and know my husband is not....so they think he'll be the REAL one bringing in a paycheck. So, my husband brings them back in the game, as do I. We let them know both of our checks contribute to this mortgage, not just his. I've noticed the women loan officers are the worst with this, even though you would think they wouldn't be. We both have excellent credit scores and make sure this is the valid point we get across. Just make sure you are not overlooked as being an essential element in this deal. Generally, all the loan officer can go by is what you have made in the past few years, not what you may make in the future as an IC, because as an IC, you may not know what that paycheck will bring or if you'll even be with the same company 6 months from now. But again, I have never had this asked of me.
It all has to start somewhere doesn't it?
xx
But that doesn't apply to every
situation. In my case I got hit with something that was out of my control. I see where you are coming from because most times it is irresponsible spending and debt accruing that causes the problem but not always.
My mom doesn't like when mine rub against her, either
and she doesn't like that the neighbor cats in the development kill the birds at their feeders and also the baby rabbits. I don't especially like that aspect about them either (our 2 stay in the house 24/7) but it comes in handy in the house when we have a mouse. I know of people who go out of their way to hit a cat on the road and I think that is so disgusting. Makes me sad because of how much I love my cats.
What is funny though is that my male cat gravitates to my mother whenever she is here. He will just sit by her chair and stare at her with his big, golden, unblinking eyes. It really freaks her out!
He doesn't really look like he has aged all that much
in the last 10 years or so. I think he looks almost exactly the same as he did way back in his ER days!
Ugh, doesn't sound
too fun! Don't want to go to the hospital. That's why I figure it's past time to quit. My son is scared of me dying anyway. I told my husband no need in making his fear come true!
