| The T.V. When you are not home do you leave the t.v. on for company? I have a huge electric bill and I think it is because at least 1 tv is left on ALL THE TIME and a small light so that he is not left in the dark while I am at work. Does this make a difference or am I complelty out of my mind |

| no you are not out of your mind !!! Hi, I leave the tv on for penny, when i am gone... Never gone for more than 4 hours. But I think it helps make her feel not so alone. And yes your electric bill probably is reflecting that. You could try a radio, it might take up alot less power.. Just a thought |

| Actually, the TV doesn't take up too much power, depends on the size and how long you leave it on for. As for the light, maybe you can try using energy saving bulbs. Maybe it's because it's still winter over where you are and you turn on the heat for most of the day???

| I think its very sweet that you are leaving those things on for him. I do the same thing, that way he can hear people and see some lights. I think its mean to leave thim home with nothing on at all.
