This one is a little tricky. You might have to look closely to see what has been changed here, but once you do, you will say “Dang! That DOES look better after!” It took me a while to see it, but that could be because of my Monday morning brain, which isn’t fully functional until about Wednesday afternoon. Seriously, if you know of some all-natural remedy for sluggishness, hit me with it. And don’t say early-morning running. Nothing makes me want to get out of bed less.

November 7, 2011 at 5:23 PMIt took me a few tries to figure out what was different but it really did look better after…I just wasn’t sure why. Funny how little things can make such a big difference.

January 29, 2019 at 4:13 AMGreat tips. There’s probably hundreds of ways to save some money. My opinion would be on regular maintenance to know some parts that needs to be replaced. There are types of AC’s also that inverts power to save energy. These tips are really helpful.
