I remember going to Disneyland when I was a little girl (at least a yearly occurrence), and at "the building of the future" or something like that, they had fake phones with push buttons on them, and people could line up to try them, to see what it would be like to pick up a receiver and punch in a number instead of dial it. Because dialing took 15 seconds, which apparently was way too much time. I remember punching in our home number in 5 seconds, and turning around to look at my dad like,"Can you believe it?!? How amazing would this be?!" It was years later before push button phones were the norm, and when I got my first one I thought it was pretty special. :)Julie B.http://www.justjulieb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-55842965484006545592019-07-08T16:55:01.841+01:002019-07-08T16:55:01.841+01:00Odd, isn't it?

There's one (I haven't read it, mixed reviews) by Robert Becker called "The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and The Foundation of Life", and the book called "Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!" looks interesting, too.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-8917580270451803672019-07-08T13:38:25.287+01:002019-07-08T13:38:25.287+01:00you are correct - it IS electrical but i still don...you are correct - it IS electrical but i still don't understand why some of us have this. my daughter and i can feel electrical currents that others cannot. we also shock ourselves frequently, can't wear jewellery and don't like anything around our necks (even those wooden crosses on cords!) who knows?gretanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-89139617525810201332019-07-08T07:15:40.968+01:002019-07-08T07:15:40.968+01:00I remember those cameras!

Did it have the little cube that flicked about for flash? :) And I still use a stand-alone calculator that I've had since my 36yo kid was a little boy, that went along on market days to keep to budget. <br />Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817348519203352250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-65336263229138272202019-07-07T20:21:08.634+01:002019-07-07T20:21:08.634+01:00Gosh, that sounds like a frightful day!

I used to not wear my wedding band because my skin blisters and wept. I have a beautiful cross my father bought me and the chain it is on cuts my skin.<br /><br />We are currently in the town of Hobart, Tasmania. Much slower than my hometown. I am suffering badly from my allergies here and feel quite awful.It isn't very big but this morning my daughter and I walked to a church to find it locked well before midday. I used to go to a camping ground that was then sublet to another denomination and all of a sudden our holiday spot was not allowed to us anymore. Pretty sad as I miss those days. <br /><br />God bless your Sunday.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-50277561773646871592019-07-06T19:41:46.234+01:002019-07-06T19:41:46.234+01:00It's electrical in some way. When my children ...It's electrical in some way. When my children went to school in the morning, I used to give them a kiss goodbye, but I had to stop kissing Alice because we always gave each other electric shocks! I remember I used to get electric shocks from the metal handrail on the stairs in our University library when I was an undergraduate back in the 70s. One time, I was trying to but a bra and had to give up because the display stands kept giving me shocks.<br />If I wear a metal bracelet or necklace, it gives me a really terrible feeling. It's not a pain but it's like a pain — a strong, powerful, unpleasant, heavy, deep, dragging feeling like a force. I'm okay with earrings — I suppose because they don't encircle anything. I have a bangle I absolutely love that one of my daughters gave me when she was only little, so I treasure it but I keep it on my altar. I used to be able to wear a wedding ring, but that started giving me problems too, so I keep that on my altar too. Watches I *cannot* wear. They set up that terrible feeling; and I stop them, too — they just stop working. I've sometimes tried to wear necklaces/watches/bracelets just because I thought I must be able to overcome this, but after a few minutes I have to take them off. I've also tried wearing something like a wooden cross on a leather cord, which is okay-ish if it's really lightweight, but I start to get the dragging feeling where the cord touches my spine — and that doesn't even involve metal so doesn't make sense at all.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-271062347623024042019-07-06T14:02:27.751+01:002019-07-06T14:02:27.751+01:00could you explain a bit more about your 'force...could you explain a bit more about your 'forcefield' issues? one of my daughters seems to have the same thing but we've never understood what's going on with that.gretanoreply@blogger.com
