@tommylion Thanks for the explanation of how reviews are selected in the mags. I suppose it makes sense that we, the consumer, pay via elevated prices on products for the manufacturer to pay a mag to review a product. I would have thought a review for public benefit or interest would have been an inclusion, but flipping back through the odd audio mags I read while "on the pot", it seems the only public interest is the letters to the editor.
@nkonor I sympathise, and empathise with you. I am so sorry to hear of your plight. It amazes me to read posts by individuals, try to imagine what they look like, but never think of their personal wellbeing. I hope/pray your condition does not worsen. I would be able to afford a few mats and some TC if it wasn't for the cost of the drugs and constant stays in hospital!
@oregonpapa Do not go too close to induction cooktops. These ARE powerful and CAN effect pacemakers and some metallic implants. It was my own specialist who warned me after I joked about it. He was very serious.
I recall visiting my grandmother who lived 500 miles away, just after my end of school exams, and I was as nervous as heck about my pass mark so I could go to Uni. She was a lady of the land and she said "Worry is like a rocking chair. It keeps you occupied but does get you anywhere".
A very wise old lady who I miss. My own parents just turned 94 and had their 70th wedding anni. I hope I am able to emulate them as Jen and I have just had our 40th. 30 to go!
