Excessive attraction.
Lately I have experienced a few aches and twinges in my hands and forearms. For a writer, this is terrifying. It's the equivalent of a long-distance runner going lame.
I read that magnetic bracelets can help with this sort of thing so I rooted out a few broken hard drives. They have magnets inside. Powerful ones. More is better, I reasoned.
Anyway, I dismantled the drives and removed the magnets. I secured them to my left wrist with a steel band, thinking that if it worked, my left wrist would get better while my right would stay sore. Once proven, I could then attach more magnets to the right.
There are a couple of things to note here. The first is, if you secure the magnets with a steel band, be sure to carry a pair of cutters with you at all times. Alternatively. install some kind of release mechanism.
Secondly, and most important, never open the fridge with the hand that has the magnets.
Spending two days as a fridge ornament is no fun at all.
