Tightened all the connections in my electrical panel as suggested by another thread and all seems to be good. Thanks to all and have a very Merry Christmas.

FYI. The outlet in the bathroom is called a "GFI Outlet". GFI breakers are found in the main breaker box. They have a yellow test button. These are usually found in High-end MH's.
Yours has a 15 amp breaker that controls the GFI outlet. GFI outlets do not trip on overload. Only .5 or greater mili-amp leakage. The breaker does the overload tripping. There are 4 to 5 standard outlets downstream of the bathroom master outlet. All controlled by the bath GFI. Hope this helps you understand how they work.
