I seem to need more explanation. Are magnets bad for watches?
Old watches, anyway, which this one was. I think newer mechanical watches are made with gears that can't be magnetized.
Maybe I've always been here.

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

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.

I just hope my watch lives until the end of the year. I'm hoping for a trip to Disneyland so I can replace my Mickey. He has been my reliable friend for many years.

The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?
From what I've read so far over there, yes. They recommend using a headset or texting, so that the phone's not an inch away from your skull when it's transmitting.
Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!
Sorry.

Oh good lord. That made me think about my whole phone situation, and I realized that I've been texting more than I thought and paying more than I thought! Now I have a plan.

I love my Android G1. I can use it as a compass! I can check in for flights! I can sync multiple email accounts, use Google Maps to find directions and restaurants near me, surf the internets, add things to my Netflix queue, find movie times... but I admit that I'm biased.
