Energy Bills are going Up! - 10/20/11 08:56 AM
What a great post.  These are some easy ways to save money on your energy costs.  We also installed a programmable thermostat so we aren't paying to heat our house when no one is here.  And, we purchased fluorescent bulbs.  We noticed a huge difference in our energy bills. 
If you live in an area where electric has been deregulated you have the right to choose your electricity provider.  We switched our provider and our electric bill has dropped again.  If you would like more information about switching check with your local provider if this is available in your area and … (0 comments)

Toxic Mold? Chemical Burn? Don't Let This Be YOU! - 10/20/11 08:21 AM
