I once spent an entire weekend playing to beat halo 2 and only went out to grab food but when I did I was so wired the sunlight seemed to make the trees, grass and cars look negative. So predator-like. I had no life then.

Window height at boob level. Imagine an outdoor shower on a private island with no walls, curtains, trees or anything! So liberating...http://www.neckerisland.com/

Here's something that might help someone in the Gulf States here in the U.S. During Hurricanes Katrina & Rita my family got distress payments of up to $2500 to cover expenses during the evac. And we actually used the money to cover our expenses too.

While here in Houston, my neighbors woke up one morning to find out a girl living alone fell asleep in bed smoking and started a fire. Everyone in the bldg. lost everything. Renters Ins. could have helped but I doubt many had it.

For the cost of a lamp from Ikea/month one could have renters insurance.

Maggie, try a folding bike that will fold down to fit in small places. A good resource to go is:

Trying to solve a problem often means changing what's causing the problem instead of changing things to fit the problem.

I turn off the water when I shampoo, wash my body and brush my teeth then turn it back on to wash off.

sagekitten85, 0.44 cents/kWh is alot. Here in Texas my plan offers rates as low as 0.13 cents/kWH. I would shop around for providers if I were you.

If I could be a butler I would be one. Cleaning for me is an enjoyable task. It's a good thing to see and feel the results of a thorough cleaning.

Sweep every two days-All rooms, including porch & patio.

Mop once a month.

Hand wash dirty dishes, clean counters every night.

Trash round-up and out every night.

Laundry-Including bed sheets every Sunday.

Scrub sink, tub & toilet once a month.

This is just the daily chores, there's also the cleaning of the fridge, closet, cars, pantry.
