I don't know if this belongs in the Karma Circle. But if you accidentally leave the page open and your SO takes the hint and buys you something...  :thumb:

I won't even get a lump of coal unless I buy it myself.

Buy your own Christmas present so you get what you want.  :D

Sound advice as that's what I do.
I've already picked it out and it's not cheap but I know I'll love it!

I was thinking that maybe I could blow the wax out with a fast motorcycle. 
It's worth a shot.

Believe me, I've tried that and it doesn't work.  Maybe I need a faster bike.   :scratch:

Wifey shops for me on Amazon, so I put CD's on my wish list.

This year she's having surgeries before Thanksgiving and Christmas (trying to make the most of her sick time), so the holidays will be slow/quiet.

Imagine the wife that tries to buy an audiophile a new amp from that list, but is blissfully unaware of what the current gear costs...  :lol: It could get real interesting in a hurry when it doesn't go in the system.

Music history, for sure. I'm not sure music theory is for everyone...
