"I'm 66 years old and was given a gift by a friend of mine. It was the Q-Link that was supposed to give me More energy for all my hobbies, tennis, gym and grandchildren. Also I didn't fully believe in it. I told myself "why not wear it and see." To my great surprise and skepticism, I found that I had become More energetic, More centered than I had ever felt before. It was truly a great gift and now I wear it with confidence and like to share that recognition with many others. I still don't understand how it works, but I can always tell the difference when I don't wear it (More tired) then put it back on again (More energy and enjoy my life More) so I know it really does work. Just thought I'd share my experience with you."
Warning: Side effects may include always spelling 'More' with a capital M, resulting in More subliminal messaging and More testimonials from More satisfied customers.

This reminds me of those magnetized bracelets that used to be sold to do wonderful things to your whole life just by having one on. And this, like your perfect chair, seems to be the same thing - just having one on. :wink: :lol:

Loved and thought himself beloved,

It must work. I mean, they couldn't put it on the internet if it wasn't real, could they?

Or maybe he has "More" energy because he believes he has more energy? Self-fullfilling prophesy?

I smell a placebo effect.

They forgot to mention that the Q link makes you a better whislter, flute player and/or piper :lol: :P :lol:
I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family.

Yeah, and it also gives you more vivid dreams and delusions of grandure... :P

Note* The Q link does not help with spelling. Hence Whistler became Whislter

That was a pretty hard slam on lixnaw, skepticism or not. It seemed like a sincere post. Scares me off if I have something wonderful, but dubious sounding, to share.

The chair wedge works . . . that's not controversial at all. If you've got the usual office chair . . . you NEED a wedge.

I checked the Wedge out. At $80 its nothing more than a $2 piece of foam rubber that squashed absolutely flat and did nothing at all for me. Gimme kapok anytime. :D
