We didn't have a choice, Mother Nature did it for us, lol. Bad ice storm here, 28 inches of snow just about 65 miles west of us. More snow and ice to come today....we were without power for a few hours, and am not so sure at this point we will keep power. In 2001 we had a storm like this and were out of power for 13 days. So we will survive, and there were a whole lot of us who turned off the power last night involunvarily, lol.

If we were home we would be participating but we will be at my nephew's wedding reception at that time. I doubt they will turn off the lights at the reception in the middle of the dance.

Lisa, I have a question about a flower called the Peace Lilly? All the leaves are turning brown on the ends. I have called the nursery three times but it does not seem to like what they are saying. I know that this does not go along with your last message but I was hoping that you had some info on them. Linda

Linda, I have a peace lilly that gets brown tips on the ends too. Unfortunately, I am not very good with indoor plants including this one. I don't think I can help you much! I just cut off the brown parts and keep it watered as well as I can remember. I know peace lilies like to be moist and in a not-too-bright window.

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

On Family Meetings and Chores

ON FAMILY MEETINGS: On Friday night we held our first-ever Zahn Family Meeting. I've always felt that families who hold family meetings are so, well, organized and democratic and all that and we've just never gotten around to them (which speaks to my lack of organization, and probably democratic-ness, too). But on Thursday, after "crabbin' out" at the kids for not helping around the house enough, I decided to call a Family Meeting for the following night. I made the announcement to all, including dear husband, that the meeting would take place at exactly 6:30 p.m. after our Previously Scheduled Family Dinner at exactly 6:00 p.m. Just trying to be organized here... I asked the family members to come up with agenda items. Mine, of course, would be the subject of chores. I also said I would give a Treasurer's Report (a.k.a. "why we haven't paid your allowance since Christmas"). So the appointed hour came and the Meeting commenced. I asked for agenda...
