    Yep, soo true....
    .....You can actually see static electricity in the dark. Blue sparks.

    But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize"

    The other day the above lyrics hit me like they never had before.......Almost dizzying....So true, feelings i long recognise summed up in words so beautifully/perfectly.....

    This is the only reason I hate the winter. I can handle all the snow and the cold, but not the static.

    Have you ever kissed someone in the winter and both of your lips receive the most serious shock treatment??? And not in the good kind of way either. It's so painful!

    At our old place we had to spray the carpet with diluted liquid fabric softener every time we vacuumed. That place had a bad ass electric charge. As we walked around our hair would start to raise. :eek:
    Walking can be a real trip

    actually wintergreen mints....more likely lifesaver wintergreen mints if you bite into them in the dark you will see a "spark" if you are looking into a mirror....the wintergreen has a luminescence (sp?) like lightening bugs....does not produce heat but light.....quite cool i used to be a State Park "explorer guide" and on all my night hikes i'd have a bag of wintergreen lifesavers to have them bite into....it is pretty cool:)

    That is true. I remember doing this as a kid, in a dark bathroom with junior high school friends - we thought it was the coolest thing that we could make sparks in our mouths.

    I know, I had on a silk shirt yesterday and it had nothing but static cling and it would never be straight....

    Hopefully if you had girls in there with you the entertainment highlight of the night was not crunching on some LifeSavers. ;)
