There should have been a "lol" or some variation thereof included in that, but I was falling asleep at my keyboard (at WORK no less) when I typed it.

I think you're being robbed on that Public Purpose Program Charge. And that Nuclear Decomissioning Charge -- since when did YOU start decomissioning nukes?

hey! everyone has a hobby.

this is when all-inclusive apartments become totally worth it. i don't pay heat/electricity/anything.

I would totally pay $300 to have air conditioning right now. I'm dying without it.

...and, IAWTP.

oh, and I would pay it again.

it's been HOT as fuck, and it's not even september.

Yeah, I am seriously thinking about finding a place with air conditioning over the next few months. It's not bad here most of the year, but every summer seems more and more unbearable.

Nope. We keep it at 77 during the day, 76 at night. It goes up to 85 in the daytime. All on timers.

Our bill is usually half that. I need to run around with the kill-a-watt thing and see. When I play sexbox going with receiver, big screen, etc., it can get up to 500-600 watts I've noticed.

Maybe we just have a really shitty, inefficient heat pump.

100% over baseline huh? You should look to see if your neighbors have an extension cord running to your house. If it's buzzing, don't touch it. :)

yeah, i dunno wtf. when i hear of friends with $60 bills, i'm like HOW?!?

We do have 3 tivos. Those with the cable box run about 70-90 watts, and that's constant + the server (70 watts or so idle).

SCE is way more than DWP, but still!

SWEET JEEBUS ON A STICK! all mf my utility bills barely equal that much.

Along with our massive supplies of fresh water, bills like these are precisely the reason Canadians fear an American annexation.

you have fresh water?!

wanna be our (California) new water bitch? Colorado's been whining.

David, how am I supposed to stalk you when you blank out your address? Duh :=D

jesus. thank god for all utilities included with rent!

OMG! and i have had my air conditioner on for 7 days-straight!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I'm almost half of your bill... and I thought I had it bad. Then again, you're a rich boy :-P

well it is half my bill. My roommate pays half. :-P
