(Email subscribers, I apologize if you’re getting this for the second time. I had a post-scheduling goof.)
So there’s this light at the bottom of the stairs, which is really just for a little hallway thing that leads to two other rooms. And my children are f o r e v e r turning on that light just to walk to one of those rooms.
Of course, they don’t remember to turn off the light.
So, I made a little sign.
And someone wrote me back.
(that little circle says, “yes.”)
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

I think you might be taking the sign and this post a little too seriously. ;) We all (the kids, Mr. FG and me) had a good laugh over the sign and over the modification. It's all in good fun, and no one here is upset about it.

These ideas sound really interesting. For our household, we have 8 people living in our home and the amount of lights on at any given time has been insane, at all hours day or night. We thought about a year ago to convert all of our light bulbs to LED lights to save money. We found that the bulbs were super expensive! We kept looking for a better deal, like really who can afford to spend $30-$80 on each light bulb. Finally we found an amazing website, which was offering a fantastic deal on LED bulbs. We changed all the bulbs in our home for under $500.00 and to date have saved so much money on our electrical bills to cover the cost of the bulbs and leave extra in our pockets. It was really worth it for us. I recently contacted the website again to ask about getting more bulbs for our friends. They said they will be reposting their LED lights again soon, but would continue to accept orders on request. So I sent them an email and they were very nice. Sent me prices right away and I will be helping my friends place their orders this week. For those people who are looking into a long term solution for saving money, I'd say check out LED lights as an option. It worked for us.

LOL! I was thinking of writing my night owl husband a check list of all the items that can be unplugged before he goes to bed. After seeing this perhaps I should reconsider.

I just had to laugh and smile. I get save the world lectures from those who drive solo, have long showers and leave things on. So thank you.
