Also, many power companies have what they call an economy plan, which is based off an annual average of power usage at that address. Dominion here in VA has you pay for whatever you use for a year, then you can switch. The plus side is you pay the same amount every month, regardless. I suppose if you really went nuts with the power usage for a month or two they might up your price, but IDK. The down side would be if you have a couple months out of the year where you hardly use any power(fall or spring where it is just right so you don’t run the AC or furnace), you still pay the same amount(even though it might be higher).
I just started the plasma thing, in this area, it is $50 a pop, and you can do it twice in a week. Kind of wierd to me - they take out some blood, separate the plasma from all the other stuff, collect the plasma in a big bottle(I gave a liter yesterday), and pump the platelets/RBCs/everything else back into you. HRV was still green, and I did a decent cardio session this morning with no issues. You can make $400 a month if you go twice a week. Indigo funding anyone?[/quote]
You’re risking your health every time you go there. Is it really worth $50?
Risking my health how? Any side effects are short term(dizziness, fatigue, etc.). Studies have actually shown that regular donaters of blood are at reduced risk of heart disease.

Among other benefits.
I recall reading somewhere that a burst of new stem cells are generated after every time you donate blood.
lol I have no idea what she’s going to actually do, I couldn’t give less of a fuck. My guess would be she’ll just ask someone else for the money. Or not pay the bill (get an extension or something). I just thought it was an interesting question.
