Dear People on my friends lists...

Stop sharing all the "if you don't like this or share this you will suffer" crap. If I don't share your picture of the burned baby and a family member dies I will come and kick you butt.

It ticks me off.

Dear Progress Energy- or Duke energy now,

THANK YOU for the inconvenience of a two hour power outage during my shows and while O washing laundry I meed FOR tomorrow. YOU SUCK!!!

Signed,
Angry consumer


Ps. You charge me $45 to reconnect if my bill is late and the power is shut off, dare I ask if youre planning on paying all of these customers since you are at fault for the outage? Yeah, didnt think so 

I used to love Duke. Not so much progress. Now they are sorta the same. Wonder if Duke will suck soon. 

Haha my water bill is less than two bucks a month. But my bill is $22! All for stupid fees. 

So in NC you get a monthly water bill? Here in MI we only get a bill every 3 months.. and it's very pricey up here. for the 3 of us it's about $90 every 3 months. 

That would be nice bc there have been times that I forget the small dollar bills. $40 and below that I almost don't pay them on time. I'd love all bills to be that way! 

We pay over $45 in additional fees (not taxes) for our electric every month.

Paid $20 in fees when we had gas ( used always less than $5- only our hotwater heater was gas)

Fees annoy me... a lot! 

I agree! Our bill is $55 but we end up paying almost 80 for fees and "surcharges" 

Literally just opened this months bill. Our surcharges are based off of kwh used because we live in the "country" its for servicing our electric poles. Used a smidgen less electric this month so its less than what we had in the winter.

undefined 

Two miles down the road at our last house, no base charge or surcharges! 

Dear bed, how I have missed thee. Work is killin me as of late!
Signed,
Tired of all this work 

Congrats Allen! Go you! Arrggg... 
Thanks Vicky!

Arrgggh! 

Holy crap I dont think I've ever seen a TXU bill that was under $300. I'm a little in shock. During the summer, its not a surprise to see my parents light bill around the $400 mark.

Pricey? Are you kidding? Is this a damn joke?

$126 last month alone.

Yep. When I lived there, in an old farm house, my bill would run minimum $350, max$850 

I don't use heat in the winter unless it dips waaaay down. During the summer I have no doubt it will be closer to $350-

But at our last house which was 2300 sq feet we never had a bill over $130, and this house is a lot smaller! 

I have the equal payment plan and pay 117.95 a month for electric all 12 months... but probably will go up this year.... And water averages 68-78 a month but that includes trash pick up. 

Jacky.. you have more people in your household than I do. My Grandma said that water has gone up a lot in the last couple of years around here. She use to pay about $40 every 3 months for 4 people and now for 3 people she is also paying about $90 every 3 months.


NC must charge a lot for everything!! When we lived in a teeny tiny apartment on Shipman.. I remember our electric bill being close to $300 for an apartment that was like 600 or less sqft. 

Doesn't anyone open up their windows anymore? I open mine as long as it doesn't get higher than 85 outside. And heat goes on if its 48 or below outside. Even then I use a space heater in the living room when we hang out in there. 

we pay about $30/month for water (only, no trash/sewer). There are only 3 of us. We are in Onslow County.

We paid about $60 a month in VA, though, when we also had sewer.
We paid about $12 in VA when it was only water.

It's crazy expensive here, IMO. 

our summer normal temp is 100* Last year I tried to make it until June before I used the a/c. In may it hit 87* in the house, and we had a huge house fan (that you open the windows and it sucks the air in)

This place isn't insulated as good, I assume because it is more affected by the outside temps, and since it's smaller, you turn on the oven and it raises the temp in the house about 5 degrees. 

water is cheap though, should be it tastes like swimming pool water!

$14-20 (and I wash probably 10-14 loads of laundry a week) 

Dear Magic Bullet,

I am so glad that I got you out of one of the boxes in the basement that you had been boxed up for so long 2 weeks ago. It's nice to be able to relax and sip on a protein smoothie while the kids are sleeping and I am watching Tangled instead of being tempted to grabbing the kids ice cream out of the deep freezer.

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to make a green smoothie after I go to the produce store and pick up some kale. I have plenty of green apples that need to be used up.

-mmmmm my tummy is a happy one 

Doesn't anyone open up their windows anymore?

NO, I don't want the green pollen or the black jet fuel exhaust in my house. Bad enough I have to clean it off of everything outside.
