As for Brian's predilection for clocks-for-the-elderly, well, it's just another example of youth being wasted on the wrong people.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-20853550036194314092016-02-29T23:05:41.406-05:002016-02-29T23:05:41.406-05:00Update please.

I am betting that the alarm clock gives indoor temperature, because with the large numerals and the uncomfortably warm temperature (for me) in the advertised display, this clock is clearly being marketed to the elderly. Why was Brian attracted by this marketing?

Nice and low-pitched and LOUD. Which is exactly what I need. So how is that one? Without my hearing aids in, I can't even hear my iPhone set to OOGA OOGA OOGA full blast unless I have it tucked halfway under my pillow--which is a good way to risk setting your hair on fire. Literally. That was a close one (it was hot!)<br /><br />I badly need a new alarm. Medium to high pitches need not apply. I'd love any advice.

I'm a very sound sleeper, so I deliberately had gotten one with a very loud, obnoxious buzzer. After the first couple of mornings when I had to pry my new husband off the ceiling when it went off, I got something a little quieter. And if I sleep through it, it wakes him and he nudges me until I turn it off....RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-20663442283400529542016-02-04T09:29:06.587-05:002016-02-04T09:29:06.587-05:00Brian is uncommonly conscientious about getting up...Brian is uncommonly conscientious about getting up if he has a class to go to.
