Lightbulb Not real comfortable with this site...

And its usage of a standard incandescent bulb icon. Can we get a CFL in here

But really this site is neat. It feels rather "fringy" in topics that make you think about your house in a way others just don't and yet its all about saving money

You guys rock!

With me, it's not ALL about saving money.. It's about having fun and staying warm..
Or maybe I should say staying warmer..

Today, it's been snowing outside and I'm just sitting around.. My old beat up legs are getting a chill..
Can't go for a walk, don't want to ride the recumbent exercise Bike.. Too Boring..

So, I clicked the setpoint up by 1deg C.. Yeah wasting electricity to stay a little warmer.. While I loaf..


Well, I am wearing a pair of loafers..

The site is powered by vBulletin® Version 3.8.7
I think the little post icons are default to the software but maybe they could be added to. IMHO they don't really get used too much and it doesn't really detract from the content.

I buy nothing but LEDs now.. Soon all our old powerhogs will be gone..

We got out for a walk this afternoon and we saw a pigtail CFL in a porch light fixture..
I'm going to have to try that with one of my left-over 75W CFLs..

I got rid of about 75% of my CLF stockpile during the Christmas holidays.
Believe it or not, some people have never owned a CLF!
