OMG....methinks Sandy's been sharing her house(with me)...annoying isn't it? Although most of our "carrying on" has been historically attributed to my wife's sensitivity to this phenom, obviously, they're cool with a "newby"...and yes, we blame the poor dog for the smell pockets, although the floral scents can be pretty stifling as well. The power company has us on call block--we've had them out several times...somehow, we have a "power substation" in our attic. We've burnt out numerous appliances, a computer or two have fried, light bulbs flare up and then pop. We've had the house rewired to no avail. You can't take a photo in our house without an orb butting in somewhere. And the TV has to be on 24/7 for background noise so we can get some sleep. It's no wonder my wife stuffed this for so long. She's more accepting now and works with whatever is happening, but.... Our house is an old farmhouse that's been swallowed by the city around us, been remodeled a couple of times...we have thresholds in the middle of hallways where you can hear footsteps at night (a kid headed for the loo?) and they'll stop at the "threshold"...wife thinks we have a portal. Kids and "sensitive" neighbors either run down the hall to our room or come in the side door rather than linger in the hallway...and this is NORMAL for us!!!! Not for the faint of heart. Anyway, your description really struck a chord. Oh yes, my oldest son's new electronic dartboard is a hit with our "residents":party9:
