Don't be so mean to me, Joan. lol
 
If I came into the bedroom one night and saw my
wife sleeping like that, I'd grab a pillow and
a spare blanket and go sleep on the couch in the
living room. :)

If it were trying to power my entire house, including the hot tub, it
wouldn't last nearly that long. I consumed 2088 kWh last month.
 
Full disclosure: like the clothes dryer, the hot tub isn't on the
generator transfer switch. If we had a prolonged winter power outage,
we'd drain the hot tub and clear the pump so it wouldn't burst.

Yikes, Cindy! I consumed 195 kWh last month.
 
I just paid the bill yesterday so I happened to have
the info right here on my desk this morning.
My bill was $32.56
 
And with many minor things turned on almost 24/7 too.
- 2 lights (led)
- 2 fans (bedroom and bathroom)
- TV and 2 clocks
- answering machine
- one computer
- fridge (naturally)
 
And many other things turned off and on as necessary.
 
Looking at my "Usage History" on the bill, my highest
usage was last July. 679 kWh.
 
That was a very hot, humid and miserable damn month
and the AC stayed on often. Early mornings were the
worst with humidy and no wind. Wearing only a t-shirt
and shorts, I would start sweating just walking from
my front door to my van - about 40 steps.

Some cats sure do. Mr.Kitty here would only eat fish
flavored food. He loved "Meow Mix" too for dried stuff.
That must have had a slight fish taste (?)

We switched to battery operated gardening tools because they are
quieter, no struggle starting, no tune ups, and no fumes in your face,
plus no fuel to buy and store. The Black and Decker string trimmer is
great, has plenty of power and we have a spare battery on charge.

In Sheldon's defense, there was a mention one time on the
national news that many truckers were refusing to deliver
goods to the New York City area as it was such a hot spot
for the virus. This was over a month ago.

The shortages lasted only a couple of days and then the truckers
resumed deliveries. The TP shortage only affected those cheap
bastards who refuse to stock up on necessaries.... a lot of people buy
TP by the single roll, that's why they're sold by the single roll...
same as a lot of women buy tampons one at a time from a machine.

Hi O, good to see you again! I love cooking, as you know. I stopped cooking a few years back when Edward was dying, I fed him invalid food and ate convenience food, I was too tired to cook. Sadly Edward died of cancer, at home, where he wanted to be. I then left France and sold the house. I live in The Cotswolds now and am back to cooking, every day and thoroughly enjoying it

I dunno, I wonder was it butter to liquid was uneven, if I knew I could stop doing it! I didn't think of using cornflour.

Hi Jill, I cannot make pastry, I have to buy it. I have tried many times, by the time I roll it out it looks like a jigsaw.
