Holy Jeebus! Sorry for the slightly off topic slant, but goodness to goofy gosh. I start foaming at the mouth when my power bill hits 100 bucks. It's usually around 50 or so. I once had a 150 some odd dollar powerbill and I was so outraged that I went down to the CPU (Commission of Public Works) and chewed somebody out in person. And I run central heat and air too.
I just don't see how people have to pay so much. I realize I might live in a slightly odd fashion, I do most of my cooking and such over a wood burning stove. I make sure to keep lights turned off when not needed. I keep 40 to 60 watt bulbs. I am down right miserly when it comes to conservation. I even have a wood burning water heater as well as electric. I run a whole farm for crying out loud on 100 bucks or so a month. How on earth do people jack up their electric bills so badly?
If the power company sent me a bill for 275 bucks I would start making heads roll. **Shudders**
Stunning.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
