Your parents wouldn’t let you swallow neodymium magnets?

Now that you have come of age, you can proceed to ingest the damn magnet. Free yourself from the chains (sic) of the patriarchate!

It’s fine if you swallow one. If you swallow two or more then you should probably go to the ER immediately.

I probably didn't state that all that well. If I had really wanted one I'm sure I would have been provided one. It's equally quite possible that since they had to be obtained from a veterinarian that it never occurred to me to ask for one.

OTOH, I did destroy a couple of old radios to get the speaker magnets. If I could go back in time I'd grab those old radios before I'd have a chance to destroy them. Back then they were just that--old radios--with no value and certainly not worth fixing. Sigh...
