[quote:Rev. Star Gazer:MV8zMTgwOTdfNTQxMjQzNl9CNzFERDA5Rg==] [quote:Fire fly] i have that problem too,not as bad as yours girl. :pope2: [/quote] WTF is it???? I've lived in drier climates than this and have never experianced anything like this. The past two days have been really bad. Not as extreme as that picture of the Pope but on a smaller scale - I literally see bolts like that coming out of my finger tips. Hey - I wonder if I could learn to control this and if it could be useful..... :spock: [/quote]

I'm starting to feel like fricken Jubilee from X-Men!
It started last year when I first got to California. Mostly it was whenever I touched a car - didn't matter if I touched the metal or the window - zap!
I initially attributed it to the drier air here.
However, it has gradually gotten worse. Now, I know about static electricity in winter but this is beyond, beyond! And, I don't even have carpet nor has there been any static cling to my clothes.
Lately EVERYTHING I touch I have not only been getting zapped but little blue 'lightening' bolts have been shooting out of my fingers when still a couple of inches away.
I've totally given up on operating the TV or DVD player. Anything electrical gives me far more of jolt than simply touching the wall or glass etc.
My daughter is totally unaffected and for some reason, my computer has yet to zap me.
Any ideas?????
