I thought you guys might need a laugh so here goes. Kim got this new great humidifier a while back, like my mom's, 'cuz it works so good. It was on the counter running and I needed to refill it. I left it on and started the kitchen faucet to fill the tank. While it was sitting there running without the tank on it, I couldn't help but to watch the way the vapor came off the area where the water bubbled up. It looked somewhat like the water was getting heated, but I new that couldn't be because mom wouldn't get that kind. Maybe the water was getting pumped to help make it bubble, not real likely either. There was another thought but................... My brain was processing all the info too slowly to come to any quick definitive answers so I went right on to experimenting and stuck my finger right down the middle of that neat little bubbling fountain. Long story short it felt like my finger nail was ripped off and some one was shoving needles into it and performing electric shock therapy all at the same time. Maybe a little feeling like boiling acid too. My brain kicked right back into gear at this point and told me, "hey that hurts, get your finger out of there." and I had readily affirmed at this point that ya my last thought was right...there was an ultrasonic frequency causing all this fun little action. I have been around an ultrasonic cleaner before but it was more of a tingle. This was downright painful. Maybe I shouldn't post this and see if I can get anyone else to try. Maybe If I ever have a problem with stray cats again I will let them have a drink. The crazy thing is Abby and Whitney and whoever have taken the tank off and messed around in the water, but they must have avoided that cute little fountain of pain. Any other Darwin awards?
