My unemployed girlfriend was using more electricity than normal due to being home all the time. That's changing in theory. She's got a part-time job now.<br /><br />2.

I don't need one but our bird does.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-62133769602392496072012-07-17T23:04:23.667-07:002012-07-17T23:04:23.667-07:00Scott,

I am looking forward to switching to LED lighting when it comes down a bit more in price.<br /><br />That said, my electricity usage has still probably gone up over the past decade. What was saved in lighting was lost in a bigger screen TV and a bedroom air conditioner (that part actually does feel like real prosperity).Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-55764010766667832582012-07-17T22:57:37.014-07:002012-07-17T22:57:37.014-07:00Bulskyn,
