Default Re:how i save heat

i have large, old windows in my house, no centrl AC or heat. i have winow Ac's in two of the rooms and several ciling fans. in the summer, i run only one window AC, depending upon which room i'm in. in the winter, i keep the termostat turned way down and pile the blankets on when i'm in bed and waer laots of layers when i'm not! plus, my heating bill has been outrageously low, prob. due to the fact that the meter readers couldn't get the termotstat! *grin* however, my mother jus had the bushes trimmed and the trimmers trimmed a nice walkway to the meter, so i'm expecting the gas bill to go way up this month! we shall see!

Well, what you don't want is an estimated bill in my town because they may charge you 500 a month for only 300 in actual useage if the reader can't make it out. So if I know it's gonna snow or get super cold, I'll call in my own reading so I don't get that estimated bill!

I live in a studio. It's so darn small that, even if I run the heat or air constantly, it's never high.

I live in Southern California. Close enough for an ocean breeze in summer, and warm sun in the winter. I have a gas fireplace in the living room I have never used.

I do wear socks in the winter because the hardwood floors and tile get cold.

Our lease is up in February here and we're looking for a place with hardwood (or fakewood...either or) and/or tile and/or laminate. NO. MORE. CARPET.

Blech.

Besides, I like to do the Risky Business slide while in socks.

Yaaaaay!!!

Laughing is good for saving money on heating! It not only warms you up but exercises your abdominals.

I'm surprised they didnt make you trim them long ago. Utility companies have a right away in order to provide service. I had a situation with a tree once and rather then move the pole they were able to cut the tree. I could have fought it but I would have been the one out of pocket.
