and that was the end of that....
I seem to need more explanation. Are magnets bad for watches?
Eta: Nice atom, Allyson.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My phone, purely coincidentally, is on the ten-best list, but I have no idea about Hec's or Emmett's. Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!

I think magnets can be bad for watches. I don't know if that's always the case. I seem to be able to make non-digital, or at least the kinds with little gears, run backwards.
ETA: Perhaps it's more correct to say I make them slow down, but that pretty much feels like the same thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Old watches, anyway, which this one was. I think newer mechanical watches are made with gears that can't be magnetized.

I did not know that. Good thing I keep my cow magnets and DH's pocket watches in separate rooms...

I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?
The one I have is so piss poor right now, it's a crapshoot whether I can actually call someone or have it not constantly drop calls. To text, I have to hold it up in the air and hit send.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My phone isn't even on that list. Hmph.

I have the G1 phone, which was the first to use the android platform, and my Girl has the G2 Touch. I adore my G1, especially with its little pull-out qwerty keyboard. I have now synchronized my entire life via Google. I care not that this makes them the new evil consumerist we-run-the-universe corporation. I can remember my appointments again.
The Girl likes her G2 Touch, but gets frustrated with the fiddly virtual keyboard. I couldn't use one of those.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
DJ, you're not alone: my BFF also has the power to make watches run slow; finally they just give up and stop.
