Amazing!

$45.48; that was our savings this month off of our electric bill!
I want to know how we did it…
But bills tell no lies or truths.
What it does tell is this last year for this time we used 1005 Kilowatts, and this year we only used 984 Kilowatts in the same time period of 29 service days, got that?

Now you must know by now that we have a very tiny home, since I know I have told you all many times before and last month our bill was $144.47 and this month it is only $98.89, but not really since our electric service amount was only $90.09, including a $5.90 customer charge, duh, yep I am a customer and the fuel was actually only $37.95, that’s OK I am one with that, but this one I don’t get at all the non-fuel charge of $46.24, huh? OK FPL, and not to mention, but I will be paying my Storm charge of 61 cents that I think should be switched with my non-fuel charge really, Gross receipts tax of $2.33 and let us not forget our franchise charge of $5.86, didn’t know I was a franchise holder hmmm, bringing us to the original total I mentioned of $98.89! TA DA!

Since we all know now what we are actually paying for, not really but I take it if I don’t pay this bill like all the others that I have been paying earlier than usual than when due; that we will have no TV, no lights, no washing machine or dryer, no microwave, stove etc…
And we must pay this along with my monthly drawer full on the first of each and every month, although this one is never due until the middle or beyond like this one is really due on the 17th of next month so there you go folks, aren’t I oh so good?

I know that is one commonality amongst us all if we reside under any roof we must all have bills to pay for said roofs, right?
Yesiree-bob, I suspect, another Tobism and you can bet we do.

When we discuss things that make us relatable to one another in this world it appears that we have people out there who will subscribe to that way of thinking or not…
Occasionally we hit a homerun in that arena and have people who come out of the walls; figuratively that is, with yeah you’re right or boy that is so true!

Unfortunately, we long winded writers and speakers don’t always find the right knee jerk reactions that we are looking for using that method.

Talking to people is a crap shoot not unlike raising children.
Listening is also hard to do when you have so much bursting within you to say when you may have been stifled for way too long.
That’s my problem mostly these days, listening.
Never was very good at it but now I am so much worse.
Try as I might it is like I am afraid that there might not be another living human being to speak to and so I must get all my information out in one sitting!

Today my neighbor stopped by from across the canal, and like usual I talked her head off. This time at least I did serve homemade peanut butter cookies and tea.
Talk about long winded that was an understatement but that’s my MO I’m afraid since I was this big (my hand is about two and half feet from the floor, if you were wondering).
That would make me I suppose around the age of two when I gave the expression ‘motor mouth’ its true meaning so I was told.

On that joyful TMI I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!

Which way will the war go?
