    Static issues

    I have major static problems, not just static-y hair, but all my clothing is as well and it's resulting in me getting shocked by almost everything I touch!!!

    What can I do???

    Hmm - can't help you with the getting shocked, but you might want to try rubbing a fabric softener sheet lightly on your clothing. Or, rub some lotion into your hands and rub that lightly on your clothing. Obviously you'll want to avoid doing this with dry-clean only clothing.

    It worked for me when I used to wear skirts w/ pantyhose, hope it works for you.

    Buy a can of Static Guard. They sell it with laundry stuff. Works like a charm.

    Yup. Static Guard is your friend. When it's all staticy I spray it on the bottom of my shoes. Works wonders.

    Move to Seattle! I imagine with their rainfall and air moisture, static is not a problem.

    My mom used Static Guard like crazy when I was growing up. It works great!

    Get one of two things going in your home, either 1) A Humidifier or 2) A large saltwater aquarium, both work equally well, one costs more than the other however Okay, seriously, yes, a higher humidity in your home will reduce static electricity.

    We have carpet in our office and a lot of times a client leaves the office and touches the door they get a shock. It's quite funny.

    Re: Static issues

    At the 99 cent store I saw fabric sheets that had the Care Bears on them

    No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
    And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
    No broken heart,
    No familiar scars,
    This territory goes uncharted...

    I have this, too. I think it's my super power, only I haven't learned how to harness it yet.
