energy conservation rebates
Why do energy companies promote energy conservation and efficiency?
My gas company gave me a free energy audit of my home, and offers generous rebates to install insulation and other energy saving products. I don’t understand why they do this. If I use less gas, they make less money. Why are they doing these things?
By the way, I won’t believe any answers that say “it’s the right thing to do”, or “they want to be green”. I don’t buy that. Profit drives almost all business decisions, and this doesn’t seem profitable to me.
They have a set price they can sell their product for. They have to go through a long process to raise their prices. By keeping the volume of gas for sale down, they don’t need to expand infrastructure which costs lots of money and would necessitate a price hike.

hobby easy home
Can anyone tell me of some simple items that can be sold on the internet to generate extra money?
I sell Hot Wheels and McFarlane Figures on Ebay as a hobby, but they don’t always sell during dead times like after Christmas or when pay checks are spent. I was wondering if anyone knew of simple items to make or buy that do sell well, but don’t involve alot of overhead expenses. My ideas are quickly shot down and I am having a hard time coming up with new ones. I am not looking to get rich quick, just actually make money for the work I do. I am willing to work 10 hours a day at my job, and then come home just to box up Hot Wheels for a couple of hours and then go to the post office to mail them, if anything even sold. Days are long for me now, but I want an easier life for my wife and I later on. Help me out if you can! –Kris B.
Kris,
You sound like a smart guy. Don’t allow people to shoot down your your ideas; they are just a bunch of ‘johnny rainclouds; if you believe in it and you see it working on an auction site then do it. Stay positive, stay active and the universe will say yes.

Want a vacation from travel-related health troubles?
Try these tips:
Travel Health Tip #1:
Take regular breaks Stroll the airplane aisle or highway rest stop periodically to prevent the blood in your legs from pooling. Another good reason to get moving: Sitting in a car or plane all day can make you constipated, says Rick Kellerman, M.D., president of the American Academy of Family Physicians and chairman of family medicine at the University of Kansas at Wichita, but you can prevent that with exercise. Even moving around for just a few minutes helps.
Travel Health Tip #2:
Pack produce… and other high-fiber foods, says Dr. Kellerman. You are more likely to prevent stomachaches and other gastrointestinal problems by having family members eat the way they do at home. When you get hungry and pull off the road, head to the local grocery instead of a fast food joint.
Travel Health Tip #3:
Get your ZZZs. To head off jet lag, schedule your flight as follows: When heading east, fly early; when heading west, fly late. This long-practiced flying strategy ensures the least disruption to the bodys normal sleep-wake cycle, preserving your travel health.
Travel Health Tip #4:
Wet your whistle. On a flight, you family is in a very arid environment that dehydrates the body and dries out the tender skin and mucous membranes in the nose and throat. A good rule of thumb is to drink at least 16 ounces of water before leaving and 8 ounces of water every hour while flying, suggests G. Richard Olds, M.D., a travel disease specialist and chairman of medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Fruit juice is also a good choice; cola, tea and coffee are not (the caffeine they contain may have a diuretic effect). Are you visiting a hot climate? A sports beverage can replenish sodium and potassium that are lost in sweat.
Travel Health Tip #5:
Go the distance with germ warfare. You do not need to vacation in Mexico to experience Montezumas revenge. The farther you travel from home, even within the U.S., the more likely you are to be introduced to unfamiliar germs, says Dr. Olds, that will increasesyour chances of respiratory illness, loose stools and other germ-caused infections. So take precautions: If you are traveling across several states, pack some over-the-counter cough syrup, sore throat lozenges and an antidiarrhea medication, Dr. Olds says.
Travel Health Tip #6:
Shun the Sun Spending time outdoors at the beach, mountains or woods? Protect your families skin with a sunscreen that has a high SPF (30 and up). Apply it to exposed skin areas about half an hour before heading outside to allow the sunscreen to swing into action. And use at least two tablespoons per application. Reapply sunscreen every two hours throughout the day and immediately after you have gotten wet or have been sweating.
Follow all these tips and you will go a long way in assuring your and your families travel health, and guess what? your vacation will be made in the shade.

What was the name of that show again?
There was a children’s television program that was on a considerable amount in the 90′s. I think it was on ABC and it featured three small mice (they were puppets) that lived in a library and told you stories (at least that’s how I remember it). There was also a clock and other talking furniture. Can anyone help?
Ok update: I’ve discovered the name of the show I previously asked about. It was called Return to the Magic Library… or Bookmice. Just watching the intro got me excited. Who’d have thought there’s forums for these kind of things. One thing this forum didn’t tell me was the name of another show I’ve lost the name of. So, rather than post another question, I thought I’d just add to this one. Sneaky, huh?
Ok, the show in question (to the best of my memory) began (and ended) with a 3D sequence of the world, flat on the back of a turtle that swam through the universe. I think it was a kid’s show that aired on ABC in the 90′s. Any ideas?
That sounds a little like Bagpuss, but not sure if it is
