Hello Di,and Mari
I was at Wal-Mart the other day shoping,and many of the things that I touched gave me a static discharge. That's a sign of dry air. Humidifiers are good for that type of thing,sinuses,and skin.

I use to buy humidifiers,but they get clogged with hard water in this state,and the are hard to clean. Very hard. My brother in law taught me a better way.

My brother in Law has a big pot of water simmering on one of his stoves. That's what I need to do right now. A big pot is much easier to clean,and they last a lot longer.

I'm going in the kitchen,and fill a pot with hot water,and let it simmer. You don't want the inside atmosphere to get to damp,and you can work on the amount of simmering that suits your environments.

This is just something that I've learned,and thought that I would pass it on.

By the way. It's 1:54 AM,(12/18)and 23 degrees. BF
