If you can afford the internet you should have no problem paying a bill. If your that far in debt cut back on some things like the interent and other things we don't need for everyday life......K

Yourself, taking time to turn off lights that are not being used and turning down the thermostat and wearing warmer clothing.Then insulation and florencent light bulbs that use a fraction of the energy over regular bulbs.

tell him your worried about the utilities being turned off and you dont wanna pay late fees and\n you can't float his half cause you are strapped for cash as well. \nmention that you know he needs money for cabo but he needs to take care of his responsibilites as well. or give him the option that if he is so strapped for money is there anything he can give you that he wants to sell and put it on craigslist.com and sell it for him and take the money for the bills. \nact like you'll work with him but by no means can he leave you strapped and sweatin' the bills while he's kickin' it in cabo. thats so selfish.!!! \n better yet let him read these answers to your question! maybe he'll then  pull his head outta his a$$. you must be firm cause he'll just walk all over you from here on out. \nif you cant talk to him write him a note and give him a couple of options as how to pay, with no option of NOT giving you the money. \nif the shoe was on the other foot he'd have no problem asking you for the money i'm sure. \ngood luck! \n**if he doesn't pay you,  I hope it rains the whole time he's in cabo or he gets montezuma's revenge, \nkarma is a bitch!!!!***

Yes it is! i had this happen to me while living in an older house. Contact your electric company asap. I didn't and was liable for the extra on the bill. They told me that whenever you notice a problem, report it soon.  You'll save money but be out of what you've already used.

I would recommend investing in some bright movement censored lights. This will alert you to any movements. For the day time use movement censors with buzzers.

Use the night mode on your camera. Or rent a light kit.

At work we just got motion sensitive switches.  If there isn't any movement for so long, the lights turn themselves off.  Saves a bunch on electricity.  Of course they automatically turn themselves back on when we walk through.

Plug all your computer equipment into a surge protective power bar...although very rare...it is known to happen\n\nBut to keep your system running should the power go out...install a generator to your power fuse panel.

fIRST, i THINK that is BS.  They cant stop youfrom making a payment.  \n\nSecond, to answer your question.  \n\nA couple of gallons of gas and a book of matches should do the trick.

Department of Water and Power?  Well if you don't pay your bills they turn it off.

change all your lightbulbs to the energy saving flourescent ones.  and try and carpool when necessary to save on gas.  Turn your thermostat down a few degrees and just be aware.
