    I've always been what other people call wacky(I'm told by those that know me it's the old hippy in me,that refuses to go away)I think I'm normal but then who am I to say.I know one thing I'm now at an age,53 when I could'nt care less what people think of me.Life's just too short to worry about things like that.
    Who's to say what's "normal" in any case?:confused:
    "An' it harm none, do as ye will".:p
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I wouldn't call anyone wacky. We are all different. If everyone was the same, wouldn't the world be a boring place?

    Sunflower - before you buy a breadmaker have a look on your local freecycle and see if anyone has one listed, or request one, loads of people have them and don't use them. I have a panasonic that I saved for ages for and I love it, it's used every day, usually twice per day, and the bread is fantastic, finally discovered which yeast suits the bread we like and the results are really light. We eat so much bread between the six of us that making it myself would just take too much of my time, and I can use the panny to make dough for pizzas and french sticks and rolls without worrying about rising times and finding somewhere to put it.

    lol. One of the best things about getting whacky is that you can wear hm A line skirts and very comfortable crocs one minute and cycling clothes the next and no-one bats an eyelid any more. I love it!!!

    well...theres gotta be some advantages to getting older methinks.

    Harking back to the EMF's - have you come across the organisation on this:

    ceridwen I have studied the effects of emf's for 20 years.

    I have my own monitor to check appliances when the come onto my home or when I move. Yes my DH thinks I nuts but thats why he married me:D

    roger coghill works in wales and started a newsletter on the dangers of emfs baxk in the 80's. he has come a long way since then, I think you will enjoy his web site:

    well said couldn't agree with you more :)
  • oo thanks for those emf links, lol more time on the pc getting zapped. Oh well, it`s education

    I just bought a second hand book from amazon
    The Powerwatch Handbook: Simple Ways to Make You and Your
    Family Safer...

    I am really getting the bit into my teeth now. I cycled to argos and bought a bt analogue corded phone and spent an hour inputting all the phone numbers. It is so so user friendly and intuitive with bigger buttons and a call missed thingie so who needs an answerphone

    Its all plugged in now and ready to go and it must be my imagination but already my desk area feels fresher and airier

    I have had to buy a mini usb charger for the indigo lantern, otherwise I`ll get hot winding it before bed and I`ll never get to sleep if I`m hot

    I love the happy feeling on this thread and all the lovely people :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I had never heard of this before but I do notice a huge relief when theres a power cut, and my neighbour says its emfs affecting me.
  • gordon bennett!!!! my dh got in a bit of a tizz last night after hearing some doom and gloom stuff on the news from bush. It appeared that the world banks and economies were in imminent danger of meltdown and he even asked me if his pension was safe. I was able to reassure him that it was ( I look after it in a sipp) as it is spread around and he went to bed reassured but why all this stupid scaremongering, enough to cause panic through the whole world.

    At he same time I am feeling cosy in my world as I know I have a good stockpile of foods and wind up gadgets and alternative ways of cooking. I feel like not listening to any more news. Life goes on
