I do wonder what will happen to the price when the supply gets lower. As a similar note, with new game consoles, you can't even permanently buy the games. You quit service/membership you lose it all. 🤕 My laptop can't play CDs 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it doesn't work. It's a nice ornament though . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagomir Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have a cassette player/CD player/radio combo, but I didnt use it for years and when I last tried to start it I discovered that the CD player doesn't work. I also have 2 discmen (including one I got as a gift), but I think they have issues too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slywlf Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 On 12/6/2023 at 6:46 AM, Kelly said: Before an elbow-breaking fall a couple years ago retired me (at 67) I was an in-home caregiver to seniors. One client lived in a high-priced senior living facility, courtesy of his family who wanted him nearby for visiting, but couldn't take care of him full time themselves. I had two 12 hour shifts - 8am-8pm Saturday and Sunday, during which I could never let him out of my sight save brief potty visits. The staff (and his family!) were wonderful, but this scene is absolutely spot on as far as his fellow "inmates". I had to reassure him frequently that he was not at fault and eventually both their attitudes (and/or dementia) would bring them back to sitting with him (and his own helped him forget much of the abuse), but I always felt bad for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
