i am not an A/C fan, even thou i live in sunny hot orlando, but i would never ever do this. i already know for fact how this works. yrs ago DH allowed his father to move in w/ us because he could not care for himself and his dad paid the electric bill. well his dad promptly signed up for this 'energy saving' program and the A/C was off from 8am-6pm...well since i worked 5 days a week on 12 hr schedules & i was gone 15 hrs a day LOL but it took forever for our townhouse to get anywhere near 80 at night. it would have been even worse if i was not working outside in the blazing fl sun all day and 80 was long sleeve temps to me lol. here we are in the mid 90's from may thru nov so it can get quite hot in a house w/o A/C by 9 am for most people. we do the averaging program and save $$ on it. dh pays utilities and is lucky i'm comfy at 80-82 during the day w/ ceiling fans running and 74-75 at night :-) he was miserable at our old house w/ that energy program his dad did. atleast i know we'll never do that in this house. i don't believe it saves you much $$ when your A/C has to run extra hard trying to cool down a hot house in the evenings, not to mention the wear on the A/C ~ liz

'Tain't just numbers/quantity ... ... but also *quality* that counts! Some oldsters, suffering serious restrictions of life, especially if it involves serious and unremitting pain, or lack of mental capacity, etc. ... ... ... have indicated that they'd prefer to move through into another dimension of life. But most aren't of any mindset to hasten the day by their own hand. ole joyful ... thankful to be enjoying minimal restrictions in life
