    Good thing for the heat wave here means all our jobs get pushed out, slow times for PECO employees until folks shut off their air conditioners :D

    when you are spending more than you make to go into work. With the current price of gas that's not unrealistic in our future LOL

    That wall gets hit around 72 hours a week for me. The money is still good but the mental health drain ain't worth it.

    I saw on the local news today that all electric companies across the state will be raising their rates. So buckle up.

    Good morning Pennsylvania. Thankfully it's only a high of 75 today with clouds. I'll take it. Yesterday was hot but I was also struggling with a massive migraine pretty much all day.

    The reporter had some suggestions to save energy: use a fan instead of a.c., unplug things, etc. Basically, return to the year 1900. :eek:

    Sorry folks, that's probably my fault just got central AC added to the house, so natural byproduct of that is increased energy cost.

    Yeah I’m not doing all that but I’m trying to save. They say the new rates start today in many parts of the state, depending on your utility company
    I have a few 10,000 btu window units I been mostly running one in my bedroom set warmer when I’m not home. Then turning the other one off at night and I’m not home. All that just to save some money but everything is going up except my pay. We will see how long I can put up with that.
