This is mine today. Can you guess what I was e-mailing about?
That's right. I hurt my neck while blow drying my hair. Damn you, Shane, and your ionic ceramic hair dryer recommendation. I mean, no one hurts themselves blow drying their bangs, so it must be your fault.I am waiting for Sue from Dr. Cooper's office to call me back.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued the following guidelines, which I think you should be aware of, regarding hair dryer usage:
"Hair dryers are electrical appliances, and using them -- even under normal conditions -- requires common sense precautions, UL and the CPSC point out. In addition, the two organizations urge people to observe the following specific safety rules for hand-held hair dryers:
• First, before using a-hair dryer, read all warnings and instructions.
• Unplug when not being used.
• Don't use a hair dryer while bathing.
• Don't place or store a hair dryer where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Don't drop or put a hair dryer into water or other liquid.
• Don't reach for a hair dryer if it falls into water or other liquid; unplug it immediately, and then remove it.
• Don't block the air openings of a hair dryer Don't place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, during operation; air openings may be blocked and, also, you may create a risk of fire.
• Don't drop or insert anything into a hair dryer's openings.
• Keep air openings free of lint, hair and other matter.
• Don't use a hair dryer outdoors.
• Don't operate a hair dryer where aerosol or spray products are being used, or where oxygen is being administered.
• Don't use any attachments that aren't recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• If a hair dryer has been dropped into water or other liquid, if it doesn't work properly or if the cord, plug or other parts are damaged, discard it or take it to a service center for repairs."
I'm only raising the question as to whether or not you were fully dutiful in heeding these guidelines. And how can we know? I suspect you were using it outdoors.
