SHOCKING Experience

[Saviour]

A new chair is probably less expensive than a new laptop. 

Or JP-4...as far as that goes.  Sorry...couldn't help myself.

i used to get shocked when i would get out of some recliners

Ok

I took a white chair out of our library
and dragged the old shock-y one into the library

Problem fixed

This brings back fond memories of a section of our floor (in my old house) that did something similar.  The wires underneath weren't grounded properly or something, touching something metal would often produce a shock or a strange tingly feeling in the fingertips.  After shampooing the carpet once, I went to plug my computer in...  BZZZT!

That, in turn, reminds me of when I first got my PS2.  I went to go plug it in and the outlet literally exploded!

I'm old school, but the simplest solutions are frequently the least expensive.

Now THAT sounds dammaging.

I already answered that.

A more comfortable chair than this one would be nice. (I personally want a small couch or a fouton...(ignore spelling) since it would fit well in out living area.)

2K thanks for that humidity chart, I knew it made a difference  but not how much, I used to get zapped everytime I went to the cig machine where I worked, but went once in an extended period of cold dry winter weather and the shock I got slammed me into the wall 6 feet from the machine

I hereby nominate this for the CH Hall of Fame...

If I scrape my feet over the carpet and I touch my desk, there is a chance the PC will crash.
