We make sure no electrical appliances are on when they are not being used. I am trying to teach Ron my son that since very young and he is also careful about it. As for drying clothes we do not have the dryer so it is the sun and the wind to help us!!!Rimlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800381730067608251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-61018707749600026692011-11-15T19:56:54.886-08:002011-11-15T19:56:54.886-08:00I grew up in Arizona and (these days) every time I...I grew up in Arizona and (these days) every time I visit in the summer I think, why doesn't everyone have clotheslines here? I swear by the time you finish hanging up your clothes and taking a potty break, they'd be dry and ready to fold. The air sucks the moisture right out of them! LOL<br /><br />I air dry some of my clothes on a rack in my apartment due to the care instructions, but am not able to have a clothesline at my rental. Hopefully someday! I'd also really love some insulation, but the landlords seem to think that is a waste of money in CA... :P On a positive note, I only use energy efficient lightbulbs and have an energy efficient space heater. :)Rachel Hoythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565668664072704971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-53536625205968805582011-11-15T18:25:23.752-08:002011-11-15T18:25:23.752-08:00It is an absolute joy visiting your blog!

LOL!! I sound like an addict trying to justify my need for a fix. Speaking of which I was relieved that there was no mention of giving up chocolate because of all the heat it takes to produce it. I would have had to turn in my green card.
