Please, folks, don't be kind and say you have felt this if you have not. Be honest. I need to know if it's time to call the guys in the white coats to come and take me away to the funny farm. Dunno about the guys in white coats, but you might have an electrician check your computer connections - it might not be STATIC electricity! I was thinking the same thing! If that house is in as bad shape as Pat posts (bad wiring?) there may be more things in there AFA electric that could do worse than give you "static shocks". But are you pretty immune to electric shocks anyway? You posted before about "testing" your electric fence charger by getting yourself a "pretty good bite" off of it....electrician friends have told me that unlike the rest of us, they gradually get used to and are not much bothered by 110V "shocks" while working. However, we never heard any more re the "bad wiring" of the house. Dot generates so much static electricy that I got her a wireless mouse and keyboard. She keeps zapping the computer and I have to buy a new computer. Not anymore. She doesn't touch the computer! That said, I reember telling the tech who rewired our house that I was getting a shock from the water tap. He checked and found a loose wire that had touched the water pipe and was glad that I had told him. My doctor thanked him. dave |

"wafflycat" wrote in message ... No, you shouldn't be sent to the funny farm. I, on the other hand, may be, as I read the title of your posts and had a mental vision of small rodents armed with cattle prods ;-) Cheers, helen s LOL, I had this mental image of mice overrunning the house and chasing Pat and her owners with the bare ends of wires in each of their little micey paws.
