No more LOUD

Last week I heard a loud knock on my door.  I opened it to a lady who let go on me with all the frustration and anger she had stored up for months. I have only lived here 6 months so I imagine it was most of that time. She said the noise was going to have to stop, that last night there was noise until 4 am. Not really, but it was probably 3 am. She said there must be talking or my TV but if I did not stop the noise she would report me to the housing people.  I was stunned, my mouth must have been open.  But I got myself together and told her I was very sorry, it was the first I had heard of it and I would stop the noise. She reminded me that after 10 it is supposed to be quiet, that we are to even walk lightly. Well, the floor is carpeted and I am not huge so I don't think that is a problem.

She left and I immediately started looking for my headphones and that night I tried them out. They did not reach to my bed which is where I watch late TV.  So I finally found an extension cord at Radio Shack. My son Devon had suggested cordless headphones which I also priced at Radio Shack, They were quite expensive for a good pair. So I got the extension cord to get me by until I could check further,  The Radio Shack guy said Sony was their best set, the most comfy, etc.

So I priced headphones online, and at Target, Fred Meyer and Best Buy.  The best price for the ones I wanted was on Amazon. So I ordered them Friday and they arrived today. NO, I did not pay for two day delivery. Just standard. So I was impressed. I also ordered an electronic toothbrush from Amazon since mine died. I ordered it before I ordered the headphones and the tracking said it was in Kirkland on Oct 1 st, Saturday. But it is not here yet.

So I am very excited about my headphones. They are on the charger and the insructions say 16 hours for charging,. They have rechargable batteries.  I used my own audio cords. The ones with it had one prong to go into my TV's headphone slot and the other end goes into the charging base, representing left and right.. Mine have left and right going into the TV and left and right going into the charging base. I can't wait to try them out but for tonight I will have to use my jimmied together cheap headphones and extension cord. The extension cord and headphone cord do not fit snugly so I have to tape them together with masking tape. It works. I am a genius, heheheh. Well, maybe just a geek chic.


My new Sony headphones

My downstairs neighbor will never again hear my TV noise after 10 PM.
Hmmm, maybe I should send her the bill for the headphones?
