I see you live in Maine. Pretty lucky to live in California. Personally, I don't see the need to turn on the heater. Just put on a few extra layers and snuggle in blankets. The coldest it gets it around 30 in the very dead of winter. But others don't feel that way in the house. Summer on...

So, how does everyone save electricity? I just changed all the lights to CFLs, plan on buying LED Christmas lights, turnoff everylight and appliance that is not in use - getting a little tired off having to do this for other people - and put my TV/entertainment system and...

The Founding Fathers were children of the Enlightenment. Then shouldn't we be an enlightened country?

Thanks For some reason, I can't get links up on this forum.

There has recently been a pet food recall. Here is a link with a list of items recalled www.hsus.org/pets/pet_food_safety_center/recalled_pet_food_and_treats.html

Sports drink or whatever. okiegirl1 I am worried about you. Please, try to get some source of potassium.

It is not just getting enough water. It is about getting enough electrolytes aka salts. I experienced similiar symptoms when I ran. Use to see it all the time in other athletes. Muscle cramps and headaches are the first sign of trouble. Ice tea that has caffeine and a sudden switch to high...

Sounds like you are severely dehydrated. What you are feeling is not normal. If you continue to feel this bad or worse, stop your new diet and seek medical attention. When you want to restart the diet, work with a dietician. A sudden change in diet is very hard on the body. It can be...

Diets don't work for me either. Something about counting calories and excluding things from my diet really makes me crazy. I end up sabotaging myself in no time. Including physical activity in my daily tasks seem to work. Biking to work and store. Using a push instead of power mower...

I was using teachers as an example. There are many others that waste energy. As for other countries, it is the developed and the quickly developing countries that use the most energy. US is about 5% of the world pop. and uses 25% of the world's energy. It is the per capita usage that is...

I am not talking so much insulation or skylights. They are great but the upfront cost is prohibitive to most school districts. I was thinking more on the lines of making sure everyone turns off lights. Most teachers leave their lights on when out to lunch and after they leave for the day...

True, we are probably the exception. That's why education is so important. If more studies and articles were posted about how much conservation saves, more people would start to think in that direction. Heck, if the media took conservation more seriously it would go a long way. But I do...

Like your new icon FarmerChick. Personally, it is easier for me to put my computer and entertainment system on a powerstrip, change lights to CFLs, bike or walk instead of driving (live in a city), combine trips when using a car, use a crockpot instead of oven, etc. Instead of, putting in...

Never said you couldn't or shouldn't post how you feel about the healthcare bill. It's a free country and you can do what you want. I was pointing out the inconsistency of your title and your post. Healthcare is obviously a debate that insights peoples strongest passions.

If you don't want to start an arguement don't post politically charged statements like this one.

As I was listening to the fan of the computer in this class I was subbing, I started to think about energy saving. Wouldn't it be better for people to turn off their compiters and lights for school districts to save money instead of laying off teachers? Of course, I started to think about...

I should retract some of that statement. It was really another movie by the same name. (Really should fully read and think before I post.) Still, with the crap Hollywood has been pumping out, it probably will be bad.

Well, there is no coyotes around here. She even gets to sleep inside with her flockmates in a giant crate. Yes, they are spoiled. Hope they live forever. She was always bosy and independent. Also doesn't actual attack. Just walks up to another animals, whines - sounds like an opera...

She is either a Golden Comet/Gold Star or a Rhode Island Red. I got all my chickens out of a bin that said red pullets at the feed store. They said RIR. I just go with that. Ethel rules the roost and is the queen of the pets. What she says goes. Everyone, even our cats and dog, make way...
