Re: First Snow

Actually I'm just being cheap this year LOL!! When my DH is working I
usually have the air on and the heat on since he works outdoors and it would
suck to have to come home to a hot house in the summer and a cold house in
the winter, but since he is on disability right now and they are talking
su;ch high increases in the gas bills I just don't want to pay a $200+ gas
bill. Not to mention the fact that my furnace and air are both about 40
years old and just wont die. Not the most energy efficient appliances. But
I'll be darned if I will replace them until they just quit working and I can
get the home warranty to cover them.
