Hey does any know why when our daughter uses her hair dryer the lights dim for second? I hope it does not mean we have an electrical problem.

could be the age of your house you did not state how old the house is do you have aluminum wiring? could be a breaker going out could be the gauge of wiring used 12 gauge is prefered if you have 14 gauge that could be the culprit could also be your panel box is underated for your house do you have 100 or 200 amp service these are some things to consider
