    Electricity Price Increases

    I have 2 coworkers that were complaining about their power bills last month. It was hot all month, they both live in modest sized houses. One paid over $500, the other paid over $900. I don't know how much power they used but 900 for power is crazy. I'm guessing their household income is...

    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    You Know You Are Old When

    There are many drive thru liquor stores in the town I live in. They don't hand it to you open though. With legalized gambling in many gas stations and stand-alone gambling joints, they are required to sell alcohol and let you drink while you gamble. Illinois :LOL:
