I Hope Not...

Does the copper conduct the electricity or is it something more paranormal Debi?
I'm guessing it's the "grounding" and conduction on this. This is one area of my life that I've been working with since a child and the only thing that has truly worked with it is to get myself calm and grounded. I cannot tell you how many laptops I've killed with this (although my son who works on them may have a count) and my family has threatened to just take out stock in lightbulbs over the years. It's kind of become a joke around here with the family because it happens so often. And when it gets bad, they won't let me touch anything electrical. Which is why I really really really work hard at staying grounded. Replacing these things costs a few bucks!

The son who is my IT guy did change out my harddrive to a Solid State one and that helped, although we can never get a battery to hold a charge so I just have to work with it plugged in. I put my phone on the far side of my nightstand so I don't drain it and I only touch that for calls or texts. Before this most recent phone, I killed 6 phones in a year. No one could figure out why the things got scrambled. I didn't drop them or do anything to them.

I just have to take a lot of precautions not to blow anything up....lol
 
Yeah, I think if your worried or hyped up it could interfere with electrical equipment.If I was in this state a certain street light would go out when I drove by,when I was calm it never did.I never knew why or how to deal with it until now.
Well, we have both learned something new! BTW, the last time I had this sort of problem was in my teens. Wonder why it has come back now?

Wow, Debi! That is amazing! I don't actually blow light bulbs, but they do burn out at a faster rate. Once, it was supposed to be a bulb that lasted years, and I figured that it was just false advertising when it burned out so soon. We have also had to have repairs made to the circuit box, and to replace the electric stove which I use a lot.

I think anxiety plays a part. Think about how anxious we are as teenagers. As mature adults we go through it again with our kids because we worry.

Or you also have a spouse who falls off ladders and almost kills himself and a sister in law who is terrorizing her nursing home and a great nephew who knows it all at 19 until he doesn't and then needs help. lol Stress? Yeah, maybe a bit. :p
