    DH and FIL are out fishing on the Gulf right now, I guess it would be too mean for DH to leave FIL out on one of the oyster bars? Where exactly is that island!!!!!

    What a shame that your FIL isnlt listening. Can your dh talk to him about chipping in for the bill since he apparently does not want to conserve? Maybe if your hubby puts a price tag on it he will start to watch what he uses and shut things off as needed.

    That would be so annoying to have a family member making the bill higher. So sorry.

    I will switch bills with you. Ours was $393.XX. It has to be frustrating knowing your FIL isn't trying to help conserve. Hopefully your DH can talk to him and make him understand.
