Thinking

Well I have been sitting around thinking around here.  There has been very hot weather all over the place this week.  I will get a spray bottle ready for the windows here this afternoon if and when the power goes out around here.  One of the things I have learned is to spray down the window coverings for to stay cooler around here.  Even the news said that run a fan to help move the air around, keep heat sources like T.V.'s and computers away from the thermastats becuase they are heat sources.  During the day all week long you are lucky if mine are going at all.  With a small space you put things where you have to to make space.  So with the windows blocked up and rooms blocked off that are not being used during the day it also helps along with fans going to cut the costs of the power bill during the summer.  Another thing is do not run the dryer nor oven from about 9am untill it starts getting dark if you have to run them.  Around here I have had lines up outside for 17 pluss years and nobody has said a word about it.  I get all of the laundery out on the lines and it also helps on cutting the costs.  Some folks that are around here that I like here in Sabre Park ask why I do things the way I do them and I told them it was a game to save money in my place.  Just like the people nextdoor here.  I told them fans, block up the windows, and start hanging the laundery out on the lines I do not mind.  They have totally ignored me and thier power bill is 400 a month at thier place in the summer time.  I am thankfull that I do not have that bill around my place at all.  Some things I do not get in what some folks do around here at all.  With some they turn off the A/C unit all day no matter in how hot it is outside and they have pets in the place also.  Around here I keep the air on when it gets to bad out.  Also there's a few other things that I do also around here and some folks think I am wierd for it all.  Just like when the computer is not on during the day except the weekends around here.  I keep it off from about 9am untill about 4pm and it depends on the day if it is off longer than that.  Pluss not only that I am doing housework between the times when everything is off also.  Part of it is yes I am kind of a housewife in a way and I still work around here eather way.  Some folks do not know how to cook or bake around here at all.  So I do get some perks from that.  I have even told the one neighbor if you want to learn how to cook and bake get over here and learn.  With myself cooking I always look for an easy way of doing things.  Like with bacon it is eather the oven or in the deep fryer.  I also love the simple easy recipies for the can.  Then you get some that can cook and does not care what it looks like nor tastes like.  No wander some of the children begged me to cook for them.  We all still laugh about it today.  I have found out also that the simple things are better for the place.  This is why there is alot of pasta's, rice, and flour around my place.  Lastnight when I had the TLC channel on some of the folks scare me for cooking.  I can only imagine in what some folks do around thier place.  Anyway lastnight I had a couple of children show up at my place wanting me to cook and I told them no and go home to eat.  Some folks need to get thier heads out of thier toushes and not serve just PB&J sandwiches all of the time for all 3 meals in thier place or take out.  Last week I was sitting at the table thinking and watching the big trucks go by at Walmart and the people across the street 3 loaves of bread and 6 jars of peanut butter was bought at the store and the only thing that was walking into the household over there.  All I could do was shake my head.  At least pick up soup and a few other things for the children.  With here I found out soup and a few other things go along way with children.  And some parents wander why I turn thier children away from a meal.  Well they do not buy the groceries for my place nor feed thier children.  I got to thinking of it yesterday also that I have not seen a bottle of laundery deturgant go into the place niether.  And CPS here in NY State has dropped the ball all the way around for the ones across the street also.  Well I refuse to call after 2 years of being ignored from everyone on what has gone on.
