Hi Tawra and JIll
Just wanted to share something I learned the
other day.

My husband was taking a power nap on
Saturday morning and I went to the bathroom to
dry my hair. My hair dryer would not turn on. I
thought the breaker was thrown so I went to the
garage but all appeared normal. I then took the
hair dryer to our hall bathroom and it wouldn’t
turn on there either. I figured it broke and
tossed in the trash.

When my husband got up I
told him I needed to get a new hair dryer that
day. He said that he might be able to fix it so
I dug it out of the trash and wiped off that
mornings grits. Next I saw him going back and
forth to the garage and bathrooms.

Then he told me something I never knew. Our two bathrooms are
GFI grounded whatever that means. All i had to
do was push the red re-set button in the hall
bathroom and power was then restored to both
bathrooms. There was not a thing wrong with the
hair dryer. If he had not been there to find this
out I would have probably headed to Wal-mart for
a new one spendig $10-$15. So his few minutes of
looking around saved us quite a bit of money.
BTW the hair dryer and curling iron were
Christmas gifts from my mom she always calls to
see what I want and i like practical gifts not
things that just accumulate but things I can
actually use. One year my dad got me new baking
pans. Why do I need bottles of perfume expensive
jackets or purses?
