Yet another major winter storm is movin' in packing that Ozarks ice that takes down the electrical lines. It's not rare that we go a week or more without power here on the Missouri Ponderosa. I am amazed your cut your bill by 27%, that's impressive.<br /><br />Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-63504724075790668362010-01-25T23:37:20.877-06:002010-01-25T23:37:20.877-06:00Way to go..I find that the cork screw type lights ...Way to go..I find that the cork screw type lights do not emit the same amount of light..maybe it is because we live further north and are darker. It seems to me that someone should be able to perfect a good energy efficient light bulb. <br />We have a outdoor wood stove for heat and hot water..we are always cozy at 72 degrees..and the furnace hardly ever runs..well when it gets below zero..:(Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-4206525822973601292010-01-25T10:38:39.221-06:002010-01-25T10:38:39.221-06:00Mornin' Berte - WOW - you did good on your ene...Mornin' Berte - WOW - you did good on your energy savings. I need to do more of that. Our bill at the farm was doubled. Since it's on a pier and beam I think it used more electricity with those freezing days trying to heat up underneath. The pipes froze despite leaving the heat on. But I left it only at about 64 degrees. Oh well. I DO need to unplug everything we're not using tho. I'm bad about leaving things plugged in. We had 70's last week, too. Sure felt springy! I got my garden tilled up this weekend so I'll be settin my onions out this week if I don't blow away... have a good one!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-66768639804783155032010-01-24T22:59:54.896-06:002010-01-24T22:59:54.896-06:00Good for you!

We've got single digits, ice, snow and biting blasting wind!

People don't quite understand electricity, meaning when plugged into outlet the electric runs from pole (source) to outlet waiting to be used, if unplugged it stops that flow. This is important to know because once the energy passes the meter and waits for use, you have already paid for it!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-63580073498558859412010-01-23T11:36:03.076-06:002010-01-23T11:36:03.076-06:00GOOD news!

I do love those corkscrew bulbs, they last forever! Can't believe it's in the 70's there!? That would be confusing to the poor plants and animals. It's only January, you could still get more snow, LOL! ;) Happy weekend!Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-32166226815959653072010-01-23T09:43:13.831-06:002010-01-23T09:43:13.831-06:00Good for you.

Isn't it exciting?

It always bothers me to wake up during the n ight and hear it running when we're all cozy in bed--We also do the same thing during the day when we're not here--I don't think the dogs mind! It's warming up here in Virginia, and I'm glad for the chance to thaw out! Enjoy your weekend!!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.com
