Ken B.... Uhhhhh... gee... YOU haven't heard of "A" batteries before? (thinking fast) Well that's certainly your loss then! Why these little fellas are totally unique and are only sold in a few select stores to a very few select individuals. And when one buys 'em, one signs a statement swearing that one will NOT share, sell, give or otherwise dispose of their "A" batteries to anyone else in the whoooole world - including relatives and dear friends! Otherwise, of COURSE I'd immediately drop one of these little honeys into the mail to ya. All I can tell you is that I KNOW you'd REALLY be flabbergasted if you'd seen an "A" batteries in action, and if you owned one, you'd be a happy camper. Uhhhhh.... you believe me, dontcha, Ken? <giggling> (he's SO innocent and trusting!) <smirk> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Ken Becker Sent: Friday, September 19, 1997 10:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: Internal Shakiness Barb M, I am glad we are ALL thinking about good stuff here, I hope Garth appreciates your dedication to him, it sounds electrifying...shocking......ALTHOUGH I have neve seen an A battery, just AA, or AAA, this should trigger an investgation, WHO is hoarding the A batteries??? I also pictured you with the "radio in your ear" and thought of Allan Sherman's line about a "transistor radio with an earphone on one end of a wire that you can stick in your ear, and the other end that you can't stick anywhere because it's BENT" As far as your teeth...that's between you and yer dentist (LOL) Back to seriousness, the fans interupting the light from above, obviously had the effect you describe, but MAYBE, somethin' you ATE, or DRANK had an effect too? Did you overdo the coffee, Coke, or have a bunch of MSG in your food? Was my brother-in-law there discussing his brand of politics? (he makes MY blood boil, my liver quiver, and my brain explode, and I'm sure he could do the same for you, if you let him! ) If you still have a ceiling fan in your house, you can enclose it with a dropped ceiling and place open grids around the fan, but closed plastic panels below the blades, so you don't see the motion. OR use table or floor fans that run much faster so you don't see any pulsations! I read somewhere that a SINGLE flourescent lamp can cause mental problems, but two or more alternate with each other and give a smoother output which does not affect the brain. To me, the worst torture, is to have a light that keeps flashing on and off, and also hums loudly, because no one want to replace a bad flourescent tube! We had a local lumber yard burn to the ground due to a bad light fixture !n the store! TTYL, Ken B
