See, TsoN had these cool wooden computer cases you could make as well as wooden USB cases.  Which would be fine except I need metal around my computer and, even more, my husband’s (though I will note that I thought I saw a metal screen inside the actual wooden case).

In this case, it’s the unusual electromagnetic field my husband and I appear to have.  Now, I know what some of you are thinking: nutcase.  You may be right.

I can say I have never measured my own magnetic field, so I can safely describe my own experiences as largely circumstantial.  However, I kill watches.  A mechanical watch won’t last a day.  A digital one (of the non-Timex variety) will last as long as three months (except the alarm which won’t last a week).  Only Timex, in my experience, can go the distance and I haven’t bought myself anything else in more than a decade.  I also can kill unshielded computer components, so I try to make sure my computers are all surrounded by metal.  That has made noticeable difference in how long they last.

My husband’s field appears even more pronounced.  He can almost kill a computer by walking by and he can’t use a compass - it points at him (no joke!).  Since I got him a Timex, though, he hasn’t had trouble with watches any more.  I’m starting to think Timex should pay me for the plugs.

In general, science has generally pooh-poohed the notion of strong human electromagnetic fields.

No one has to believe me.

However, protecting my equipment does me no harm and, to date, has saved me quite a bit of dough if the times I didn’t shield it are any indication.  And I’m not the only one this has happened to.

Truddi Chase’s psychiatrist, in her book, When Rabbit Howls, noted that none of the recordings of Truddi Chase were clear; all were affected by snow.  As Truddi Chase was using a bit more of her brain than the rest of us, keeping 90+ personalities alive, many of them with genius IQs and substantial creative talent, I’m not surprised.
