One summer evening of 2009 we experienced a severe thunderstorm and lightning hit very close to our home. The next morning we discovered it affected our T.V. and Garage Door Opener. The Garage Door Opener was recoverable but the T.V. was not. Strange thing was, our DVD player and Radio were plugged into the same outlet but, they were not affected by the lightning hit.
We have NOT missed the T.V. at all!
Since then, we have cut back on our electric use, cut back on our cable bill just to the internet and played more games together as a family. If we wanted to watch a movie we would get out our portable DVD player. Seeing we had over 400 movies at home there was not reason to go to the movies. Saving more money!
Not having a T.V. to watch has not hurt us at all.
In fact the has encouraged us to shut off the AC for most of the day and it shows on our electric bill. Saving more money!
We already have meals that are made of fresh produce from the store and from fresh greens from our garden pots at home. Keeping the critters out is a job in it’s self. But having 3 small dogs, helps keep the Rabbits and Armadillos out as much as they can. We were taught a trick of putting deodorant soap shavings around the perimeter of our yard and it also helps keep critters out of the yard.
