No Surfing While Showering

My daughter, Miss PreTeen discovered something rather unusual a few days ago...

PreTeen: "Mom, I just realised that the internet connection gets disrupted every time dad takes a shower."

Me: "Ya, right..."

PreTeen: "No, really! The moment he finishes his shower the internet will be connected again."

I didn't really believe her...after all, how could the internet (which uses the phone line) and the water-heater (which is connected to electricity) be interrelated???

Today, PreTeen was using the internet when I stepped into the shower.

PreTeen: "Mom, no internet!!! See, I told you so!"

Hmmm....I still wasn't convinced. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

This evening, I was making some changes to the fonts in my blog when hubby decided to take a shower...

and guess what happened...



no internet connection...


until he switched off the water heater!


Strange...but true!

(I seem to hear the theme from 'Twilight Zone' ringing in my head...those born before the 1980's might remember the song!)

Hi, I happened to bump into your blog and saw this post. This happens to my parents home too. When my dad takes a shower, the internet connection breaks. What a coincidence...think it must be the phone line running adjacent to the heater cables.

Hi, welcome to my blog. Yes what a coincidence. Now that you mention it maybe I should check my wiring, thanks! You know what else is strange...whenever I type your blog name it always comes out as 'happy&flora'...

Thanks! Found your blog when I was google-ing for enzyme fruit drink recipe. Have yet to try it though. Your posts are very interesting, and some informative. Really? 'happy&flora' is actually a cartoon couple I got off the net. Found them cute and decided to use as my account name.
