Thanks for this wonderful post. I’ve only been reading for a few months. I found your post on the cost of using appliances very helpful and reassuring. I’m sure my cost may be 2 to 3 times as much, as we are all electric and paying German rates. We’re paying over $300 a month for electricity. That’s without air conditioning in the summer!!! On the flip side, evidently we’re doing WAY better than most Americans over here. Last year we were refunded about half of what we had payed in, which was based on their estimate of how much we would use! I’ve also started making stocks more and using my dehydrator, making beans, etc more, so I think we may owe a little at the end of the year, but it’s worth it! (what a run-on!) I also got rid of the microwave about 6 months ago, and rarely miss it. Not 100% convinced of the dangers, but figure better safe than sorry, and the monster was taking up WAY too much of my limited countertop! Now, I’m really wanting a toaster oven so that I can heat leftovers and not warm up my conventional oven. Not sure how much difference it would make though…and I’d have to concede some of my countertop again!!

Also, thanks for pointing out Catholic Relief Services! I hadn’t donated yet, because I wasn’t sure who would use my money most wisely. I trust CRS not to waste it!

In church on Sunday we were encouraged to donate blood. The local blood banks will need extra to help cover other areas of our country that are sending their blood out to Haiti. Just another way to bless others when we are so far away.
