Electric bill

[planet planet]

Last electric bill was through the roof. I can't imagine what next month's holds in store. Arghhh...

Anyone else hit hard? I'm starting to think budget billing's the way to go.

It might be cheaper if you didn't have a tv in every room including the john.

For the record, LEROY, the monitor in our closet is only a computer monitor, not a TV. After researching the electric sucking culprits, the worst offenders are the AC and the fridge. That's where I think we're not helping ourselves, the two fridges, freezer, and Guinness kegerator.

Maybe, but that Guinness kegerator is a thing of beauty and worth every penny.

I really, really, really don't want to see our next bill...since we've had a few 100 degree days, the ACs have been working OT. I did follow the advice of the "experts" and kicked our AC up to 78 (on 100+ degree days)....wow, 78 does not feel cool at all.

September can't get here quick enough!

We always keep our AC at 78-82...once you get used to it, you get used to it.

...but the heat never bothers me that much. I was out in the yard yesterday, during peak hours, mowing and gardening.

I actually adjusted to 78....but my hubby and the dog didn't! I still look forward to September....

Freak. I guess you've got to grow up here, but I don't think I'll ever get used to the kind of oppressive heat in StL.
