I couldn't discern much of what he was saying as he had a bad case of laryngitis.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4">It will be nice not to have the heat on when the weather warms as it will bring down the atrocious power bill.&nbsp; We use the heat in the bedroom and kitchen only until we leave those rooms, and for a short while in the den in the mornings, and DH uses a heater bought here instead of the room heater, and the bill was $900, over $1,000 when DD and fiance were here.&nbsp; I can't even imagine what a family of more than two people using all rooms in the house would pay monthly.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4">Hoping everyone has a pleasant weekend.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sat, 22 Mar 2025 20:53:38 GMT mousiegirl 2025-03-22T20:53:38Z
