Do you ladies hang clothes on clothes line?

We got our electric bill the other day, and I think I'll have to hang EVERYTHING now!
I always hang sheets and towels on the line, but with the new electric bill we got, because of the added air conditioning, I think I'll have to hang it all!
I did lower our thermostat by about 5degrees, and I've cut everything off that I can, but oh my the cost of electric! WHEW! Air conditioning is a must here in the south, so I'll have to use less elsewhere to not add extra expense.
We are trying to put money aside (for a new well that we are going to have to have) so I surely don't want to see that 'extra' going to the electric company!

So are you using less? share you tips!

Funny you brought that up today, Sage! I was just going over our electric bill and can't understand where all the consumption is this year over last...we have hardly had to turn on our a/c and it doesn't use that much power, and we are up about 1/3 over last June! I don't get it, I can't imagine where we have used the power...
It's just the 2 of us, hot water is gas...oh well, I'll have to look around and see what we are doing differently! We try to use less, we really do!
