There is so much on there.... so much for a simple bill

Gives me a head ache just looking at your pictures...
I’m convinced they do it on purpose just so they can rob you I’m not the only one in my village was just complaining about New York State electric and gas ...It’s not so much the amount of the bill but the fact that I know that I did not draw that much ⚡

Coming up on the darkest days of the year & now that full Moon is gone. It was beautiful clear out there…stars emerging everywhere I wish I knew more constellations, but everything was visible. One thing is for sure “the spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best”
It was the shortest daylight, winter solstice. Gonna get better each day from here!

I complained to the power company one time about their billing and they said pay your bill or we will turn your power off. Ok, that settles that.

I went to the BC Utilities Commission and complained. Then found out it is the utility companies that financially support the BC Utilities Commission. Now ain't that a crock of crap.

Last month they sent me a termination notice based on an over estimated bill I was apocalyptic with them

I’m curious what everybody else pays per month for electricity ? either include lamps ...or don’t include lamps
I paid $84 bucks last month for my electric bill. My house is roughly 2500 square feet, but I have gas appliances. And I would say I use an average amount of electricity. Three tv's, a couple computers, couple phones, 150 watt mother tent, heat mat outside for the cat, bubbler for the outdoor fish pond, and the rest of the usual stuff.

I bitch about Michigan winters, but it is a cheaper state to live in. I look at the people in California and scratch my head. Don't know how they do it.

This is what I’m talking about. There’s actually no reason for these bills. I’m a single guy In a tiny home I don’t run grow lamps. I have aquarium heaters that’s it. I don’t have electric heat …they had the nerve to say maybe there’s an “electric leak” somewhere

Don't get me started. Got my electric bill and 678 bucks. The lights and such are on another bill so that just normal usage. The following month was 374. Now my normal bill for 7 years was 100-150 depending on time of year.

They say the smart meter they installed is catching everything and that's my usage. I called many many times and complained and demanded and said no way I used that much. My neighbor has a huge house hot tub gas fireplace the works and he pays 87-150. They are fucking me.

Few days later they show up and turn me off. Cost me 2100 to get turned back on. It's a goddamn monopoly. There is nothing my lawyer says I can do. Bullshit I have a solar contractor coming this Spring. Ill fix those blazing bastards.

Sort of a hot button topic with me so I feel your pain Star. When I was growing here my bills weren't that high ffs.

I think what you are feeling is what most people are feeling right now. The cost of living is killing the American people.

Short of disconnecting everything in hiding in a cave for a month I actually did do some sleuthing today to figure out what the fuck… turned off every single circuit breaker in the house, and then turned them on individually to see what was drawing. I had to go out and look at the meter each time turns out what’s spinning the dial is all the aquarium equipment ,the tank lights, air pumps, the filters and the heaters … I never gave that much thought.. another expensive hobby…fuk .. :redface:
