Long time ago - Had often wondered that too when doing price comps for remodeling projects. Seemed that the only advantage was the offer of a tax rebate / credit. The forms were hard to decipher to get the credit. Sadly, I bought several (crappy) appliances over the years because they had the ES sticker but never saw the actual savings on the usage. With all of this now coming out in the open, I understand why. |
Vicious Deplorable dollop You ain't seen nothing yet! User ID: 74796535 United States 05/01/2017 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

Wondering Mind User ID: 73265267 United States 05/02/2017 02:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I probably never would have either. The only thing in the last year that I was glad to see available was metal half folding box springs. Those things give you more options in room designs and narrow hallways. I have energy star labels on things I have bought and installed and have not noticed any difference in energy consumption or costs from them either. I hate those water saver toilets, nasty dry half bowls from low water filling, just forces more cleaners and cleaning due to them, ugly toilets. Wastes time, human energy and money, it takes more water to keep them clean then the older ones we had. Got rid of them all. The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds. |
