49. If something isn't being used, I unplug it. |

Extremely good advice.
Those little "AC/DC Converter-Transformers" - as long as they are plugged in they are drawing current.
ELECTRIC BLANKETS AND ELECTRIC HEATING PADS - EVEN IF TURNED "OFF" - THEY ARE DRAWING CURRENT - AND IF YOU LEAVE IT UNDER A SPREAD OR COMFORTER WHEN YOU LEAVE IN THE MORNING - THE HEATING FROM THAT LITTLE BIT OF CURRENT LEAKAGE CAN START A FIRE (PER MY NEIGHBOR THE FIRE BATTALION CHIEF)
