Ouch!! I've never been zapped. Except for the time when I got bored and stuck my finger in a socket. Never. Again. I was laying on my back, on the floor, for 30 minutes. I couldn't feel my arm for the rest of the week. However, I am not yet afraid of sockets. When I'm bored I get stupid. That's when I need to be supervised. Haha!! Back to the heater!! I got water in my Elite 75 watt radiant heater and when I took it back to the store and told them what happened, they said that it was ok. You know what happened?? When they went to go test it, it blew up. No one (including fish) were injured, just jostled. Ha!! Tell me it's fine!! Is it Saturday?? It feels like Sunday to me??
