Wednesday Medley

1.  It may be a little shocking, but National Static Electricity Day is January 9!!  Do you often get shocked often when you touch metal?  Here are some things to avoid!

How to Avoid the Shock of Static Electricity

• The drier air of winter months is a better insulator than the more humid air of summer.  To help prevent static electricity, use a humidifier to put moister back into the air in your home during the winter months.
• Our skin is drier in the winter months, too.  Putting on moisturizer before getting dressed is recommended.
• Synthetic fabrics are better insulators than natural fibers. Wearing materials made from natural fibers such as cotton will help reduce the amount of static electricity that’s stirred up.
• While walking around the house, at work or shopping, holding a key or a metal pen in your hand will help discharge the build-up of static electricity painlessly.
• Switching to leather soled shoes versus rubber-soled shoes will help reduce the amount of static that is built up    ..................................      Many thanks for the  staticky tips..  I have a terrible time with  staticky hair...I will copy  out these tips and paste them on my  mirror upstairs in the winter!!!

2.  There are actually two "National" days worthy of mention! It is also National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.  Our men and women working in many areas of law enforcement put their lives on the line for us daily.  Do you know someone working in law enforcement who you can thank today?

My cousin's son -in- law is a state trooper  and  he does put his life  on the line every day...  His poor wife  was writing a post on facebook  over the holidays .... she was ranting a bit because of the apparent lack of respect  and  bad  humor expressed  about and to her husband..  and that very day he made the newspaper  because  he had been struck by a car on the interstate  while he was doing a routine  traffic stop.  Apparently, it was a hit and  run  on purpose  hit that  put him in the hospital.. Our world today  is getting worse and worse.  We need to keep all of  our  men and women in uniform in our prayers and pray that  this nation will turn from its wicked ways and  seek  God!!!

3.  At our house right now it is all about football.  Joe's Philadelphia Eagles barely won their game on Sunday to move forward in the playoffs and another chance to play in the Super Bowl this year.  Do you have a favorite team in the playoffs or does football make you yawn?  Is there a Super Bowl party in your future, no matter the teams playing?  I'm not into  sports at all these days.  But Hubs did sit up late last night watching the Clemson/ Alabama game.  If we ever watch the Super Bowl it is to see  the commercials,,mainly.  Maybe it is because we had a daughter and  we just didn't do sports... just not that interested in them. 

4.  Speaking of parties, there is always lots of food at parties I attend.  Tell us a weird food combination that you really enjoy (or have enjoyed).  It doesn't have to be party food.See, I'm out of touch on this question too,... All of the parties I go to  have  regular  delicious party food..

5.  Since we are on games and parties, what game have you spent the most hours playing?

HAHAHA,   farmtown!  To be honest.  when I was younger it would have been golf.. now I can watch a golf tournament and love it!!!

6.  Tell us something random about your week so far.Well, something  that makes me sad...  we are starting out this new year with Hubs  sick in bed..he shouldn't have sat up so late last night...  I  hate for him to be sick...  been coming on for a couple of days now 😞😡😭.. It takes all the fun out of my day and I  feel for him so much!!!
