They DEFINITELY need to state this ON THE AIR and in the descriptions of these items online! My mother has a pacemaker!
She's had three heart attacks early this year. One main ventricule was 99% blocked, another main one 97% blocked. She had stents placed in and went into A-Fib but was fine as soon as they got the stents in. She's in her 90's! She has other major health issues, too.
I didn't know this about magnetic jewelry! It's a good thing my mother isn't into jewelry. She never has been. She's always said: "I don't know where you girls got your love of jewelry!"
My parents met in school, began dating in HS, my dad was drafted as soon as he turned 18, so requested a deferment so he could graduate.
After graduating, he was sent to Texas in the blazing heat for "Basic Training" (they didn't call it 'Boot Camp' then), then he was sent straight to Germany - all of the regiment wearing their summer uniforms in the freezing snow in Germany! He said they did finally get their winter uniforms...the next SUMMER!
He fought in The Battle of the Bulge, was wounded twice; has two Purple Hearts. With his regiment, they freed death camps in Germany. A horrific memory.
When he got home, he went to school, became a Design Engineer, and married my mother. Both have never dated others.
She couldn't get pregnant so they adopted an infant girl, then two years later an infant boy. Then two years later she was at her doctor's office and he had this slight grin on his face. She said "What's that look on your face about!" He laughed and said: "You are pregnant...and with TWINS."
She said: "Then YOU get to tell my husband!"
She's always worked for doctors so knew them well (small town) and could talk "shop" with them. My dad's response was a typical "Engineer Response": "Well there's nothing we can do about it, so why worry about it."
They've been married 70 years. And it SCARES ME AND MY TWIN TO DEATH. And to think we were worried sick when they were in their 70's...
We've "hung out" with them all our lives. They're not just our parents, they're our friends. My sister and I used to joke that we'll each get straightjackets in 7 different colors that fit our "color schemes" for when IT happens.
But lately...it hasn't been funny. I know I''m going to lose it. I will never be the same. It's going to blow my gasket. I'm going to need The Lord to work SOME HUMONGOUS MIRACLES.
SOOO...my twin and I are a "mistake" - I mean an "accident" - I mean we're "late babies" - I mean we're "SURPRISES"!
