Working two jobs can be a great thing - until it comes to tax time - Sorry to hear, Honey - I can sympathize, think I am gonna get hit because of my OT this year.

Have you plasticked in your windows? That is a huge way to cut the heating costs -

How do you do this?

dont laugh

Shrewdie there is this plastic you can buy at the store, you cut it to fit your windows and then you use a blowdryer and it suctions on to the windows or something like that and keeps cold air out, or you could be ghetto and just get some sheets of plastic and a roll of masking tape and cover all the windows, preventing a seal against any air coming thru the cracks.. basically you give up on seeing daylight again until spring hits, but it does work, i have just been lazy.. guess i better get on it.

thanks honey!

A lady in my bible study's heating bill was $700 this month!

she keeps the thermostat on 67

What the heck!

i should probably do this before M gets home because my house is a cold mess!

especially the bedroom!

Lawny while im over here sitting on my tail i need to be doing something, cause i BE DAMNED if i pay another bill like that in the upcoming months, its just ridiculous. That is a basic necessity to live, so we dont freeze to death and yet and still it is to the point where its almost unaffordable.

Lawny... Shrewdie is talking to you....LOL ( j/k)

Shrewdie as cold as it has been here, im scared to cut the heat too low because i dont want my water pipes to freeze, we have been in the negatives now for about 2 weeks with it occassionally warming up to 8 or 10 degrees so i dont want to chance it

Shrew the kind I have at my house, let me see if I can explain it...you have to lay down these strips and then you clip the plastic sheets into them, it kind of looks like a one layer zip lock bag...I also check for drafts at the doors.

Though the weather is a mess, i am determined to get to the store and get some chocolate chips and brown sugar and butter. I havent made cookies in months.

I do not know why that posted 3 times?

sorry!

[JaHoney 3]

i guess i might need to go invest in some of that stuff lawny, cause i definitely feel drafts around my doors as well, maybe i could lay towels down.. i just know i gotta do something. i noticed when i close doors in the house to the other rooms, it seems to keep the living area warmer
