[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402624, member: 1233"] My kids got a furby. They begged me to take out the batteries for about 2 months - 2 months AFTER I took them out. Stupid thing didn't know it couldn't talk with-o batteries so it chattered all the time. I can't count how many times we took the cover off the battery area thinking they had put batteries back in, only to find that it didn't have any. I finally gave Wiz a hammer and told him to go take his anger out on the Furby instead of trying to hit me or Jess or husband. I had quite a few toys that did what they wanted to when I was a kid. I was in about 2nd grade when I realized that the other kids didn't have toys that talked with-o batteries - enough of mine did it that I thought it was normal. I still have problems with electronics. Cannot wear a watch because they stop in 24 hrs or less, if I carry a cell phone in a pocket or on a cord around my neck or on a belt loop they die in 4-5 hours and cannot be fixed. Once had a friend give me a really expensive, guaranteed to work through anything watch, supposedly unkillable according to the manufacturer because she thought my $20-$50 watches were just too cheap to be reliable. It didn't even make it a full work day and then the jeweler and manufacturer couldn't fix it. I felt bad about it, but I told her it wouldn't last. Y'all are the only people other than my dad and one aunt who have these problems that I have heard of. even my dad and aunt are not as bad as I am. I am toxic to copy machines (and I worked in Kinko's in college, lol!). Each time I worked on the machines for a little while they started to do strange things. In high school the copier broke every time I walked into the room, NOT a joke. I was an aide for a teacher and he couldn't send me to make copies because this. Luckily I could set up his tests and experiments. I stayed on the cash register and did layouts when I worked at Kinko's - only got the job because my boss in high school set it up for me when I went away to college. Nice to know I am not the only one with these challenges. [/QUOTE]
