My mother, she has those power strips all over her house. She unplugs other things {microwave, toaster, etc.} and even the stove!!! {the clock, light, whatever}.

I have told the kids that all of their chargers constantly use juice {the ones left plugged in for phones, games} and all of the freakin' t.v.s etc. do also.

Lights. We have a light over our garage, it is one of those that turn on on their own {maybe flourescent, hologen? not sure}. We also had one in our back yard but when they put up rain gutters we had to take it down.

I have heard those big lights use up a lot of energy. But, unfortunately, this court has no lighting and none of the other neighbors use any lights. If we don't burn it, the court is pitch black. The city doesn't even keep the lights going. We've always kept lights going for family members coming and going.

This is all killing me.
They make compact flourescent flood lights, see if they will fit in the existing outdoor fixture.
