Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Cybercelt, I'm deeply sorry for blowing up at you on my blog when you were doing nothing but a kind thing in posting a comment on BYB Sunday to encourage me to BYB. I'm usually able to control myself when I'm struggling, but was in such a terrible state last week that I had lost all restraint. Even though I could pull several excuses out of my woe-is-me hat, none would justify the anger I flared at you. I was wrong and hurtful to your unsuspecting soul. Will you please forgive me???<BR/><BR/>I also apologized to you in my comments on that post you last commented on so everyone would know I was wrong and you were upright in everything. And I also did so publicly in my BYB post yesterday. But I needed to come here to do it in e-person. I'm very sorry. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for weathering my storm with grace. I admire you for that and hope no one ever again flings crap at you online like I did last week.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you in return ~Brandy Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493270477819129950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17483962.post-33096043313836505912008-01-14T11:08:00.000+05:302008-01-14T11:08:00.000+05:30Sandy: We only realise the importance of something...<B>Sandy</B>: We only realise the importance of something when we have lost it.

Computers and monitors draw power continuously through "standby" modes and over time, that power drain is quite extensive.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, much of us in North America, in 2003, went without power when a mass blackout hit. Sue and I "did without" for four days solid in the middle of the summer... the biggest complaint was the lost food from the fridge and freezer. Doing without computers and televisions and whatnot was not the worst part, oddly enough... it was actually not that bad and was a nice rest from technology.<BR/><BR/>Granted, ask me how I might have done if I had to go a month! :)DoubleDeckerBusGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031595225592063213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17483962.post-20027796249874868672008-01-13T20:17:00.000+05:302008-01-13T20:17:00.000+05:30Energy conservation, electricity most especially, ...Energy conservation, electricity most especially, is I think always in the top five priorities of any household and any company.

The refrigerator, lighting, plumbing, work itself all depend on that great resource. I am fast becoming a one-bulb woman, turning off all but necessary lights and unplugging appliances that use stand-by electricity for no good reason.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post and the good tips.SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.com
