For and from CBC: What I saved today!!!!

[Queen Victoria]

Cut up some underwear for rags.  Saved the elastic bands and such for tying things.

  All my worn-out holey socks go in the rag bag to be used as cleaning cloths.

You could use them as headbands.

Just how big do you think the Royal heads are?

Semi either has a weird idea of the size of the Royal heads, or of the size of the Royal parts that will remain unseen. (Or of the size of both, of course)

Underwear can be a very versatile fashion accessory.

Both.

They are King sized if you must know.



The parts that are unseen would make a large regal glare if exposed.

(Plus me if you get it.)

  I brought home some more old leftover coffee from work today.
  And the generic brand single-ply    I bought at PriceRite^TM really lasts!

  I am also turning off unnecessary lights and unplugging unused appliances to save on electricty!

This is simple shit that turns all us who do into rockstars.

 

BTW, there is agreat deal of controversy over unplugging charging transformers for electronic devices when not needed. 

Ask Odeon. He is a physicist and he is honest. He knows. Those things draw current, constantly.  Do not bother unplugging everything all the time, BUT, get yourself a power strip/charging staion where all that stuff plugs in and charge it once a day, then turn off the power strip. While it seems insignificant to leave it going, Billions of us all leaving them all going, constantly, are not insignificant at all.

  Thank you!  The only chargeable thing I have is my phone, though.  I'm old-fashioned!

My house is loaded with techshit.

We have three laptops, two desktops, four cellphones, three tablets (and another under the Christmas tree), two drills and a small screwdriver, a weed eater, an electronic piano, a pencil sharpener, weather monitor center, security system, camcorder and two digital still cameras all of which are battery powered and all of which need to be recharged if they are to be dependable.  SO my idea of centralizing the charging station is impractical in my home, but for most it would NOT be.

This tech shit is in addition to the normal shit:  the three HDTVs, three Bluray players, two network printers, two refrigerators and one deep freezer which all draw huge amounts of power, constantly,  in addition to the water heater, lighting (now a few extra Christmas lights as well) and the air conditioner/heater system, range, coffee pot, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, two hair dryers, four electronic toothbrushes, including a Waterpic (both kids have braces!), air purifier, multiple area fans. 

All these remain a draw on the power grid and some of them draw current constantly, such as anything computery or networky or comforty (air water, etc.).

I have a lot of work to do.

I feel positively rural compared to you. 

Electric: Central air and heat (the heater is a gas one though), gas water heater, lights, 1 desktop computer, 1 tablet, 3 TVs, 1 cell phone, land line phone with 2 phones, clothes washer and dryer (dryer uses gas), 2 clock radios, an electric weed eater, and 2 desk fans that we use occasionally.  Between gas and electric we average about $100 to $125 a month for both.

  I'm off to the bank now to deposit $200 of a $240 loan that was just repaid to me.  With the remaining $40,
   I will scoop up the best deals on household necessities at the various stores conveniently located on my bus line!
