Are you still short of a rudder - or has it been fixed. Only I was working in Hythe Marina a couple of weeks ago and could n't see any boats minus steering bits laid up.
This is why you have split ends using all these items especially the curling tongs which you forgot to mention - isn't doing your hair any good. If I were you let it dry naturally then you will have no problems and no stress worrying about the inverter
There is a Victorian way of curling hair that does not require power!!!!
cut a length of cloth into strips about and inch wide[still old fashioned me/forums/images/icons/wink.gif] slit it in the middle lengthwise about an inch again, divide hair up into strips and thread end though hole, then roll up. tie in when close to head, this is best done at night with damp hair. It will be curly in the morning but you may look tired as it is not very comfortable to sleep like this /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
