Have you ever been hit with a memory from childhood
Have you ever been hit with a memory from childhood that seems to come at you from no where? The memory has many triggers. It can be a sight a sound or a smell. A memory can occur based on the way lights and shadows combine. Anyone of our senses can help us remember an event, person or place from the past. Some times we are trying to recall different memories and events and other times they may just see to pop into our mind.The other day I had an intense memory of my father that left me missing him so much I hurt. The strange thing is that the memory was triggered by our new instant hot water heater. I turned on the shower and steaming hot water immediately came out. This took me back to my childhood. We had to wait for close to five minutes for the water to get hot. We had an old water heater that dad kept adjusting, rather than going out and buying a new one. He would complain that we were running too much water into the septic system. When I was able to begin my shower immediately after turning on the faucet I thought of how different this was from the long waits I had as a child. My dad would have been amazed at the instant hot water heaters that are now available. When our water heater went out we decided we wanted to find as compact a tank as possible so that we would have additional space in the utility room. When we went looking for a heater the sales person told us that the instant hot water heaters did not have tanks. This was great news for us because that would free up space in the present location. The sales person was telling us that the contractors for condominiums love the instant hot water heaters because the space that the no tank system saves makes extra storage areas. The instant hot water heaters vary in size and capacity. The unit is hung on a wall. The one we purchased was three feet by three feet. We were able to mount it on the wall in the laundry room. With the capability to provide instant heated water we save on running gallons waiting for the water to get hot enough
The sales clerk assured us that the instant hot water heater had a great warranty. There are also ways to adjust the temperature of the water so that a child will not get burned. The ability to adjust the water temperature means that day care provides and day care centers can use them without fear of the children getting hurt.
