    Thumbs down Electric bill went up $10!

    So, I definitely need to do extra work!!!!! There will be no air conditioning turned on until everyone learns to turn off radios, etc. when NOT using them!!!!!!!!

    My FIL keeps turning on all of the fans and then walking away, same with the radio in the garage! Then he complains because he's hot, well, too bad!

    There, I'm done!

    Go get em! LOL, my hubby is used to me following him around, cocking an eyebrow and and turning things off! Lights in the barn, radios in the shop, you name it, he leaves it on, lol.

    This summer is gonna be fun, he insists his cows have to have a big ol fan going 24/7, heck, they have a GREAT breeze going through their barn all summer, if I don't need a fan then the COWS don't need a fan!

    OMG, ROFL, frugalfarmwife! Every time I see a cow I'll be wondering if they have a fan back at the barn!

    First test was today - 91degrees! I turned on two ceiling fans and told them to deal with it!

    Mine went up $20. It's frustrating, but everyone needs a good challenge, I guess.

    LOL, well know that the mama here will be turning that fan off daily during the week, lol! Bliz and Lois do NOT need it! They're spoiled enough!

    And you go, thos ceiling fans should do the job just fine! Hmmm, you know we should put collection boxes next to the switches!

    91 degrees and fans? Man, you are stronger than I am. I would relent if only because I didnt want to be hot, sticky, and sweaty! LOL
