She seems to be my biggest fan. :o)<BR/><BR/>Mojo: Yes, he was going for overkill.<BR/><BR/>Llama: If you recall, I lived in Utah for 8 years and never once used tinfoil.<BR/><BR/>Shankar: I guess it's like a thermos. Keeps hot stuff hot and cold food cold. I don't know...I'm a recreation management major!<BR/><BR/>Beth: Plus you can use any leftover "fabric" to cook burritos.<BR/><BR/>Craze: Idaho is much colder than Texas (where I grew up). It makes more sense to use tinfoil - I guess - in Idaho.Charlotta-lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694362692847403727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-89206567605176339612008-01-30T11:46:00.000-05:002008-01-30T11:46:00.000-05:00LOL!!

Really, how does that work?! I've even looked it up on Wikipedia, and I still don't get it.

Living in a warm climate affords you that luxury. In colder areas, window plastic (different than aluminum, and decidedly less trashy looking, but still kind of goofy) can cut your heating bill* down in a huge way.<BR/><BR/>*Heating bill is an invoice that a company sends you so you can pay them for the cost of the energy you've consumed keeping your home warm. Just thought I'd explain in case you've forgotten, not having lived in cold areas for quite a while now.The Dally Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440560395767533380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-48479209543262954112008-01-30T08:41:00.000-05:002008-01-30T08:41:00.000-05:00Very White-trashy.
