Previously Unlikely Additions to my Resume II

I have a couple more new skills to add!

Roofing- I can deshingle and reshingle, all the while dancing a jig singing a jingle

3-inch long green love
five eyed friend teaching life's ways

Today I found Jesus dead. He's been living in my room for 12 days. There were a couple days when I didn't see him, but he was usually out and about— easy to spot on my headboard enjoying my wine. I watched him eat a moth, crawl up a mirror and the wall, groom himself and fly. He was an amazing creature to observe.

The United Kingdom is planning to provide households with free "real-time" energy monitors upon request. They hope "real-time monitors" will help cut greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of energy wasted by appliances being left on standby.

Energy conscious consumers have the potential to save up to 7%, as studies have shown, just by knowing how turning things on and off affects their consumption.
