Good to be here, one question?, page 1

I've read about people who've had an effect on electrical devices before but never a good explanation. And the real reason I'm writing this is that I lived with a gal who was an example of this. For instance a watch battery might last a month or two with her regardless of the watch. I'm just the opposite believe it or not, I've had watches run well over 10 years on the same battery and things just seem to last a long time for me without any special care.

I don't have an explanation but you're certainly not alone.

I used to have that happen to me years ago. The biggest problem I had was with watches, the batteries would die within days. Seems to have diminished with age or the Bulova watch I have worn for 10 years is immune. (1 battery replacement in 10 years)

Coincidence? Who knows.

Ahh you just made me think of something else. Pretty much every cell phone I have owned, the battery is crap. It drains way faster than it should.

Oh, yeah.. forgot about the cell phone batteries. Lucky to get a year out of a cell phone before it craps out. Gone through 3 company blackberry's in 4 years. The startec and nokia I had before that the batteries would only last 6-9 months or so before they couldn't hold a charge anymore.

It is strange I guess.

If you want to read about things like this, look into some Lyall Watson books. He just touches on things and some of it is dated but there's good bibliographies and footnotes if you want to dig deeper. Very entertaining and thought provoking imo.
He's a Biologist amongst many other things and 'Supernature' would be a good place to start although it's the most dated. -He'd fit right in around here
