Re: Somebody stop me

Zem, so far I'm ok on my gas bill.  $115 for Dec compared to Dec2004 at
$103, but that's because I'm keeping the house pretty cool.  I'm afraid Jan
will be a whopper though from all the baking and I did turn the temp up a
bit a few times for my visiting sister.  I wonder what the electric bill
will be next month.  She used the electric heater a lot and never turned
lights off.  Still, that may be balanced by the fact that the cold and snow
came so early that I never got any outside Cmas lights up.
