Re: Lydia and light bulbs

[Guest guest]

Hi Lydia

I too am like your husband - always turning off lights and preaching to

everyone to keep them off " they aren't free " blah blah blah.

My husband recently taught me this - at our current electric cost (.09 cents,

USD per kilowatt hour) leaving a 1000 watt bulb running for 10 hours would cost

..09 cents! (1000 watts per hour = 1kw) so 20 hours would be .18 cents, a whole

day approx .22 cents etc.

Wow! Well, depending on the size of your house and how many lights you leave

on - well it's just NOT that much.

I wonder how many hourse he runs the TELEVISION!!!!! Well that's another story

probably - takes much more electricity!!!! LOL

I would welcome any suggestions anyone has to help with SAD. I already have

it bad - only a few weeks into the dim and cold season. I try to keep busy, to

do errands etc. But sometimes I am so low I can't even go out and just feel

like sititng around the house. Help!

BTW your spelling and grammar are precious! Thanks for being a ray of light

on this board! It is really quite good.

Is it sunny in Italy right now?
