The new changes were supposed to be done, but I ran into some HD issues, and had to rebuild the home pc, reinstall stuff, and had to buy licenses for some software we'll be running on IW, and to top it off, all my domain names were due a few days ago. Crappy timing! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, if you can help me out, it would be much appreciated. I'm now back to finalizing the new changes, and you'll see them later this Month!

Thanks guys!

I'll have to get that paypal account one of these days. Right now it's far too tricky to send money to America. :(
Sorry to hear of your obstacles. Glad to hear that the changes are close to being finished.

Yeah--btw, we got the Electric bill today. $398.00. (And this is the norm for Lakeland, FL) They locked prices (the energy company) and are losing millions, so they increased the fuel charge to the largest amount in ALL of FL--including Key West, which was the highest charged in the past.

Our Electric company IMO is corrupt as hell.

And I am a miser with energy. we have maybe 2 lights on during the day--those new bulbs. I run 2 pc's and 1 monitor, and the AC. That's it. lol

Just crazy... In Louisville, my sister is paying $169.00 this month, and she isn't a miser with energy. Same size house. INSANE! (And it's hot up there too).

<font color=skyblue>Ziroc! I am paying under $100 a month every month except for the coldest month of the year, and that never gets past $160.

Have you considered Solar Energy? Its time you fired your power company.</font>

Can't you change companies? Thats what I did a few times for lower prices. But I am the same as you, maybe 1 or 2 lights on when it's dark, an AC and 2 PC's. Usually i'm looking at $100 ish a month. You are being charged for almost 4 of my months for the same usage.

Wow. Yeah, Lakeland Electric is the only game in town, so they can bend us over all they want I guess. They also blamed prices on a generator failing and crap. I call BS!
For the Computer room, I even printed out 8x11 images of blinds on paper, put them on the back windows, then, covered it with foil. (From outside, it looks like normal blinds [img]smile.gif[/img] ) hehe it keeps stuff cooler.

Last year, I was so pissed, I force them to come out, and re-read our meter.
Hopefully, in the next few years, we'll get out of this hell hole called Florida. [img]smile.gif[/img] And back to Kentucky. (If I had lots of spare cash, I may even like Canada--I love cooler weather) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, in Texas there are tons of companies springing up. But, it was like that for awhile, with one company dominating the market. Then people started bitching, and de-regulation happend and alot of new companies came out of nowhere and all of them were competing for customers with low prices.

To put it in perspective, the last time I had my meter checked was when I got a bill of $170 and thought it an outrageous amount in comparison to my usual monthly charges. It turned out they had made a mistake.
