Breadboard jumpers
To anyone who does a lot of work with a breadboard you might find this to be a worth while purchase:

I usually just make my own jumpers but these are nice and at this price... well worth it. I just ordered two packs!

I have a case from Elenco that other distributors were selling for $20 and $15 and the wires are sturdier. Here are 350 wires for a little bit more (without the case):

I also found their 1660 point breadboard to be one of the cheapest I've found unless you want to get one off of ebay:

I don't know what kind of metal is in the Elenco jumper wires but they look the same color as staples; they aren't copper.
The seedstudio wires are convenient and I can live with them for now.
I did a second order at seedstudio because I like their bamboo tweezers and you can only order one at a time. I want to keep static electricity away from my projects.

Chuck,
Stainless tweezers are anti-static, we use them where I work and we deal with highly sensitive products. Meritline.com has a nice selection for cheap:

Anti-magnetic and anti-static are not the same. Plastic tweezers will build up static electricity. The reason I mention stainless, is because the wont melt or burn when you are using them close to a soldering iron.
The best remedy to stop static build up is to use lotion and keep your skin moist. Obviously a ground strap is great but if you don't have one just make sure you touch something that is grounded before touching electronic components.
If I open my computer case at home, I always make sure to touch the case frame before touching any of the boards inside.

You almost sound like a super hero - STATIC MAN!
That much static certainly does sound like a problem, however PIC microchips incorporate diode clamping within them so as to shunt voltages in excess of the their normal operating voltage to either vcc or gnd.
As Stacy mentioned, using an antistatic wrist strap is a sure fire way of riding yourself of static - or you could just touch a ground connection before touching your circuits.
