(I kid). Last year I did have an overwhelming electric bill of $800. well that could not have been right. I called them right away. Turns out the meter had been misread. Now with a digital thermostat and adjusting the temps to the degree we brought it down to below $200. The penny idea made me laugh, but I think you're all right.

Verdict: Just another dumbass (and his brother) seeking 15 minutes of fame.]]>3/15/2009 11:01:51 AM2009-03-15T11:01:51+01:00
