Your Questions About Save Energy How Would You Like It

So they are taking away our light bulbs and our US Dollars – how do you feel about it?

The light bulbs will be replaced by (of course) more expensive ones – claiming you would save money – though the energy prices will be raised and you definitely will pay more on electricity and the new bulbs (they burn out faster if you turn them on and off for like entering and leaving a room – so you need to leave them burning -actually waisting the supposedly saved energy)

The US Dollar will be replaced by the “Amero” actually making your savings be worth less and weakening your very own constitutional rights.

Are you cool with these changes heading your way?

How to use not take as much time?

This is my schedule
6:00 am – wake-up
It takes me a half an hour to get ready in the morning. How could it take me shorter time? I do my hair, brush my teeth, put clothes on, and eat breakfast like cereal.
6:45 – 2:30 bus and school
2:30 play with dogs and do homework
5:00 – 7:45 swim practice
tuesdays; glee at 8, shower at 9sh push the other nights activities back an hour for glee night.
other days; 8 pm shower
8:30 – 9sh finish homework
I sometimes eat dinner.
It takes my hair an hour and a half to dry. I don’t like blow dryers. I have to straighten it because my hair gets frizzy, and that takes 45 min-1 hr. That puts me at 10:30.
Then i get ready for bed which puts me at 11:00 when I am done.
I would like to know how I can dry my hair faster without a blow dryer, save energy during the day, not take as much time to prepare for bed and school, and what foods to eat that gives me energy.
How do you scrunch hair?
does putting my wet hair in a towel make my hair frizzy?
thanks.

POLL: Really, how many of you are for Daylight Savings and How many of you Are not?

I read stuff like it was designed to save energy but those that oppose it say it actually makes people use more energy (i.e. the A/C, gasoline cause your are up doing more for an extra hour….). Personally I hate it and wish someone would legislate to get rid of it. After all, states like Arizona don’t abide by it and they are perfectly happy!
No, I don’t like an extra hour of light when I get jet-lagged from losing an hour of sleep! I think if we move the darn time 30 minutes and leave it at that it takes care of losing or gaining x-amount of “precious” daylight… I just find it crazy and I was wondering what others thought…..Arizona doesn’t mind “losing” and hour as they don’t follow that system, why should the rest of the nation get stuck with it.

Is none of this real?

Somebody on Y/A recently said this to me:

“This world isnt real, it just SEEMS real. This is the movie that was assigned to you. You HAVE to play the role of a black woman in the 21st century, in America. You might not like it but there it is. If you reach the end of the movie without figuring out how to escape seeing the movie again, then you go back to the beginning of the movie (YOUR movie…same character, same parents, same timeframe) and start the EXACT SAME LIFE all over again.

Horrible, isn’t it? If it wasn’t for the fact that our memories of living this life before were erased by the shock of death, to KNOW our situation would drive us crazy.

Here is how you can escape. Two things you can do that you normally DON’T do. (cause if you did them, you would be psychologically advanced)

One: Try to REMEMBER YOURSELF. Try to be conscious of your surroundings with yourself in the middle of those surroundings. As often as you remember to, try to remember yourself. You might be able to do it for a minute or two before the distracting influence of life makes you “fall asleep” again. But keep trying. Your efforts of self-remembering are the ONLY THINGS that accumulate in your soul.

Two: Stop expressing negative emotions. In speech, in abrupt movements, in exasperated sighs, in dirty looks. I don’t mean analyze the emotions themself. That comes later. For now, just stop THE EXPRESSION of negative emotions. That will allow you to save energy for SELF-REMEMBERING.”
Is it true?

I sure hope it is.

I got into an argument with my mom early this morning and I just feel like i need to talk to someone?

Do not be intimidated by the length please… I really need help and it is an easy read about 2 mins to read tops…

In the recent past about a month ago I never wanted to do anything to help my mom clean up the house…
Whenever she’d ask me to do something it‘d be “Why do I have to do it” or “I’ll do it later” and the I would end up not doing it at all

But recently I went to a relative’s house who has endured recent trauma due to poor decisions made by their father and their house is now a wreck, no one wants to to laundry or wash dishes or sweep. The day before I left I decided to have the 3 of us clean up the house (my cousin’s and I) and no one wanted to do anything
I kept asking one of the cousin’s do the laundry and he said I’m going to do it I’m going to do it and the other one was stuck in the bedroom playing video games so I ended up cleaning the house by myself.

That experience made me realize what my mom was saying all along and now I knew what she felt.
So recently (for about a week and a half) I’ve been doing everything my mom asks of me washing dishes, turning of most of the lights to save energy, cleaning my room regularly, keeping the living room tidy, etc. and without complaint and without being asked… and I’ve decided not to tell my mom of my experience b/c she is the type to hold what you say against you at the worst times and so I decided to just let my actions do the talking

But this morning at 2AM my mom asks me to do a big pile of dishes and obviously at that time I’m feeling tired
She says: “I’m only asking you to do some”
I say: “Mom, it‘s 2 o clock in the morning and besides, you don’t have to do it- I’ll do it all when I wake up”
And then she goes on this rampage about saying “why did i ask you to do anything, I just asked you to do some, so ungrateful, never does anything”
And then when I tried to explain to her the logic she wouldn’t let me say anything she would tell me “Oh shut up, you‘re not doing it are you so good, then be quiet”
I mean I feel as though even with all of the effort that I am putting forth to change she doesn’t realize it or she doesn’t care. I feel like I can never tell her anything and if I do try to tell her anything that she’ll just ignore me
I don’t know what to do, I’ve decided maybe I should just keep a more distant relationship with my mom and just do whatever she says whenever she wants me to no matter how ridiculous it seems…

Home growing potatoes, are they rotten or?

On top of my garden where the potatoes lie are green plants very lush with some small flowers all over. (which someone told me to remove to save energy towards the tubers, I hope that’s ok) Someone also told me that once you see potato flowers appear that new potatoes can be dug up. So I started to dig and sure enough I saw some teeny tiny potatoes =). Then I went to the other side of the plot to see what I would have and upon digging I saw what looked like a rotten potato. How could this be…no potatoes lush plant on top but rotten underneath? Is this supposed to happen to the seed potato we started with?? I don’t think so, but it‘s my first potato planting so any advice would be lovely. I’ve grown plenty of other things just not these. Please help Thanks, V
