I am technologically challenged and certainly not renowned for my skills with a mobile phone.  Infact, I can honestly say I don’t really know how to use one, apart from making and receiving calls. You notice I said “calls” and not texts. I still don’t know how to do those without help.

Now  you might find this strange, and it is, unless you know why I have an aversion to mobile phones.

Basically, they make me feel weird and I only ever use them in an emergency. I don’t even know my number.

I had mercury poisoning you see caused by my dental amalgam fillings and often people who suffer mercury poisoning become very sensitive to chemicals and electromagnetic fields. I can’t spend too much time on the computer either without feeling weird, although I am considerably better now we’ve got rid of our WiFi internet connection.

It’s a really annoying situation, very expensive in terms of printer cartridges and paper, because it means I have to print everything off. I daren’t spend too long reading “on line”.

It’s also the reason I don’t visit as many blogs as I should, and if I get time to comment at all, my messages are very hit and run. If you are  one of Alex Jeffreys coaching students and read this – I apologise.

Now, I don’t watch much television, especially since I started this coaching program, (see my Alex Jeffreys video), but I am well aware people have had their lives saved because someone happened to see an episode in some soap. These programs have to be authentic.

Anyway, recently I was shown a video recording of Holby City in which a young man was admitted to hospital with terrible stomach pains. When he got there he refused to go into the operating theatre because he claimed it made him feel really ill and he couldn’t stand the lights. It transpired he had electro sensitivity and his stomach problem  was due to having swallowed some amalgam filling.

I was really pleased to see that aired because people tend to believe “soaps”. Pity they don’t believe “real” people so readily. Here’s a link to a video I’ve just made about a “real” man with a “true” story about amalgam fillings.

Anyway, to lighten up the situation I want to tell you a joke. I’ve no idea where it originated but it made my day and I hope it will make you smile too.

Three women, two younger and one senior citizen were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound.

The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at her questioningly.

“That was my pager”, she said. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm”.

A few minutes later, a phone rang.

The second young woman lifted her palm to her ear and when she’d finished, explained

“That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand”.

The older woman felt very low tech. Not to be out done she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped  out of the sauna, went to the bathroom and returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear  end.

The others raised their eyebrows and smiled at her.

The older woman finally said -

“Well, will you look at that. I’m getting a fax!”

Enjoy!
