I try to minimize any changes in my electric bills. So I close shades and curtains to block out the sun and keep my thermostat at 77* in the summer. I run the dishwasher in the late evening and do laundry in the mornings.

I'm 86 years old and need the a/c on. Have it set so it is 78 in my apartment. Can't get out in the heat.

I keep the blinds/drapes pulled. Turn up the AC a few notches during the day while at work. Small steps to help the utility bill.

Everyone should look up operation Popeye that has to do with the weather.

Jack L

Don`t pick on Popeye, I watched him on TV every Saturday morning when I was a kid

Adam

And the point is???

Jennifer M

Thank you for a little history lesson this morning.

Jack L

I try to watch the AC usage to keep the electric bill as low as possible

No, because I have always been careful not to waste our natural resources.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.

We're headed for a train wreck.

Because Kansas is a better program. KU used to be bad but Coach Lance Leipold has made KU better.

Kansas is not even ranked.

Going to say it's about right for this point in the season. They can move up as they keep winning games.

Fat Guy Outdoors

They beat an unranked Kansas team. Take it easy, it was a great win but it was Kansas. Do that to a top 25 team now. Great game though was a great experience.

Randy Davis

The tigers are overrated as it is.

JIC CoMo

It just depends on how the other teams done in the league. That is how teams should be ranked.
