Alright, be honest now.. [View all]

I've experienced this before, maybe 10 years ago...having no power for almost a

week during the winter and having acclimated to 35 - 50 degrees everyday (except at work)

Would find myself actually taking off the xtra clothing I'd been wearing and not get chilled like

you do getting used to no heat..it became really very easy to adjust..A few days ago, Evergy asked

all their customers to cut way back on electric usage..Now though they've emailed,

lifting the crisis...go back to your regular usage. I could leave the thermostat turned down,

save some $$ on propane or I could turn it back up to where it was. ..Like I did 8 years ago...

Will you?....
