Utility Bills

We always paid more than that for a one bedroom apartment, here in San Diego. Sometimes our SDG&E was $150 for a month.

No, I just don't waste electricity. I'm always hot, so I don't need heat in the winter. Drives my girlfriend crazy! The appliances are relatively new, I keep the filter in the furnace clean, and keep unused rooms closed off (to include closing the vents). Realistically, this has been a very mild winter, too.

I'm renting the place and have been in it less than a year, so SMECO doesn't have me on a balance plan. The guy who was in here before me had similar, but slightly higher, bills.

Anyway, those are my bills. It is what it is.

For me, living in SoCal was MUCH cheaper than living here. I know that is hard to believe but it is true.

When exactly did you move here and what are the dates on your last bill?

Coming Home...sort of

Seriously? Why do you care? You have nothing better to do than question my integrity over utility bills? You saw (and linked to) my first post here, so you know when I moved here. Damn, lady, find another hobby.

Nope. That was when you were asking about moving to the area, and then you mentioned in this thread you had lived here for less than a year.

I am questioning your electric bill...because I care and a lot of others on here do as well. We pay much more.

For the moment, you are my hobby.

Well, Wenchy, perhaps instead of being obsessive and antagonist you could attempt something closer to curious and inquisitive.

As I said, and as you fact checked and discovered was true, I have lived here less than a year. My first post = when I was moving here.

If you own a calender and can do simple math, you'll figure out on your own for which months I've been billed. I didn't make up my bills, my SMECO and METCO stubs and checkbook register is sitting in front of me. I know what I paid, I don't owe you and you aren't entitled to anything.

Listen, if your electric bill's too high, put on a sweater, turn off all the damn lights, and use some common sense. Another thing, you've got a family - I'm a single guy. So no doubt I use less electricity.

You know, I lurk on these boards because I find that people are just looking for something/anything to complain about, and quite a few are here to pick fights. God forbid someone use this community forum to be helpful, friendly and positive.

People like you, Wenchy, seem to forget that people who are seeking information about SOMD come here to learn. And that you should be ambassadors, not azzholes.

I feel sorry for your girlfriend and it's no wonder you are single.

Insult me and my girlfriend because I dared stand my ground with you after you picked a fight and were disrespectful to me without reason.

That's very immature, Wenchy, especially for someone who frequently chides and counsels others in the parenting forum. It's also a nasty little violation of the forum's decency rules. As a married woman and mother, I'd expect you to be a bit more savvy at resolving your disputes. However, given the nasty tone you've taken with me (not to mention the negative karma you sent), I'm not surprised.

And you, backagain39, you think it's humorous that the place you call home is portrayed as a negative environment. Well, I grew up in Maryland and have lived all over the world. This is my home, and I'm proud of it. And the people I know and love and respect don't behave or carry on like you and the others here who seek to turn every little thing into an argument. The venomous vitriol that you and others spew is shameful and sad.

My vindication is the numerous people who sent me positive karma for telling you where to stick your nasty, abusive, and obnoxious behavior. This is a public forum, not your private domain for treating others as you see fit. Frankly, you should be embarrassed; however, again based on your demonstrated lack of civility and class, that you possess the character to be shameful and embarrassed. Those are emotions and reactions reserved for people who have morals.

You want to make SOMD a better place (as so many of you complained in a recent thread)? Well, start with improving yourself. This town isn't better than the people who inhabit it. You aren't above this place, you are this place.

My comments fall on deaf ears, I'm afraid.
