I don't wear a watch because I've spent most of the past three years carrying a child, and the watch scratches.Becca Puglisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945707666707799601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-75015430008794223922011-02-08T13:48:37.057-06:002011-02-08T13:48:37.057-06:00I've given up on watches a very along time ago...I've given up on watches a very along time ago. This might seem wierd but I can sense what time it is during the day and if I want to confirm I can always check my phone.

After all, you're right, Bish, there are clock surrounding us: my car, my cell phone, banks, grocery stores. Tick Tock Tick Tock. Somewhere nearby a digital or analog mechanism is there to remind me <i>tempus fugits.</i>cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-80354362872563257352011-02-08T11:24:30.781-06:002011-02-08T11:24:30.781-06:00I don't wear a watch - I haven't for years...I don't wear a watch - I haven't for years!

Love that voice. <br />My first watch was a Micky Mouse watch. My sister got a Snow White one. I was like, what the he##, I'm Micky, she's Snow White. Of course, she was the pretty one. Today I wear a watch, constantly. I need the weight on my wrist.<br />Of course, now you've got me rethinking things!!jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-23740687677703858112011-02-07T23:23:48.444-06:002011-02-07T23:23:48.444-06:00I use a cell phone for time these days.

Which I guess makes me very contemporary, since young adults don't either, relying on their cell phones.<br /><br />I'm usually prompt when I have to be somewhere. But the rest of the time, I don't care much. I don't feel I need the time on my BODY. The general guidelines that the clocks around me provide are enough. There's still some rebellion against my mother going on, too. She has always worn a watch and checks it pretty compulsively.<br /><br />I LOVE grandfather clocks. One of my crit partners has a lot of clocks, and when we meet at her house I love the bonging, chiming, etc.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-39866776966734930962011-02-07T15:49:03.859-06:002011-02-07T15:49:03.859-06:00Oh, that's interesting that little watch-heart...Oh, that's interesting that little watch-hearts beat faster when you wear them! <br /><br />I don't wear watches either (I keep one in my bag if I need to be somewhere and no clocks are around). I don't like anything next to my skin that's not soft. I do wear glass bangles though ... and they sound like bells.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-89737851356193212992011-02-07T09:26:28.615-06:002011-02-07T09:26:28.615-06:00Meant to say I love Chicago.

Some people only ...This is actually fairly common. Some people only screw up battery-operated watches, some only screw up clockwork ones, some people screw up both and also turn out streetlights. I've even been on a newsgroup with someone who gets small burns from them. The most common "explanation" is that some people have a stronger electromagnetic field than others. Depending on the specific effect, it could also be down to pulse rhythms incompatible with the operation of the watch, a tendency to build up static electricity faster than other people, or a side effect of being abducted by aliens. But AFAIK nobody's experimented with the effect systematically; and since different people have different effects on different kinds of watches, it's fair to say that if experimentation had been done, the conclusions wouldn't apply in all cases.Peni R.
