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.

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.
