It makes me feel good to know that my posts are out there and helping people.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I&#8217;m going in a totally different direction. This post won&#8217;t help you clean your house, but it will help you lower your electricity bill. Did you know that your video game consoles are energy vampires? And not the really sexy, sweet Twilight vampires, either. These are the evil, suck your power and raise your electricity bill kind.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that your Wii, PS2, PS3 or Xbox can use as much energy as two refrigerators? Holy cow! Now I know I&#8217;m going to make sure I get after the boys to remember to turn the PS2 off when they&#8217;re done with it. Just by turning off your console after you rescue the princess (bonus points if you catch that reference), you could shave about $100 off your electricity bill in the course of a year. If you&#8217;re like me, every penny counts.<\/p>\n<p>So go ahead, rescue the princess, rock out with your guitar and race your dirt bike, but remember to turn off your system when you&#8217;re done!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcklinky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mcklinky.com\/images\/MckLinkyLogo119.gif\" width=\"119\" height=\"39\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to send a big thank you out to those of you who stopped by last week and left comments.
