11/05/2009: "Static and Answers"
I hate static. With a passion. I think I zapped myself 3 times today just trying to turn on the TV. And about a half dozen while sitting down at the computer. And these are the really good zaps that you can feel for about 10 minutes.
You don't even want to know what my hair does when its brushed. Luckily the fact that I keep it braided through the night keeps it from getting too bad in the morning, since my hair still holds some moisture.
Yesterday morning we had a Class A (fancy uniform) inspection. I saw some fuzzies on my legs, so I brushed my pants real quick with a lint brush. BIG MISTAKE! I got attacked by static cling, big time. Luckily we were in the barracks and I snagged a dryer sheet and rubbed it on my socks.
Friggin' static.
Anywho, to answer Donna's questions:
so where do you go shopping? on base or in town? do you use your truck on base at all? do you have a garage for it? when you go to town, do you leave the truck running? maybe instead of running shoes, you need snowshoes for running. That would really keep your legs firm!!!!
Depends on what I'm shopping for. About the only thing that I get on base is military stuff and food, since the commissary tends to have some of the best prices, if not always the best selection. I do use my truck on base, that's how I get there! And I have to drive around to take care of odd stuff throughout the day. I do not have a garage, I just have an assigned parking spot. Here the assigned parking spot is very important because you control the power to your outlet that you plug your vehicle in at when its cold, for the engine block heater. I do not leave the truck running, its not quite that cold yet, and my truck warms up pretty quick. And then I would have to use one set of keys to keep it running, and my other set of keys to lock/unlock it, and that would get annoying. Funny you should mention snowshoes, because as we get some more snow, and it gets even colder, I'm told that we may do snowshoe or cross-country skiing for PT - we haven't been issued them for the season yet though.
