Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm in a spot. It’s been three years, but I’m finally in the position to take the entire family on vacation. It’s going to be great to see the kids cut loose at Disney, and we’re all very much looking forward to it. My wife and I, however, are at odds on one topic. I want one day to just roam off on my own and do my own thing. She’s getting hurt because she thinks I need a vacation away from her. It’s not just her…it’s everyone. I just want a night away to go do my own thing and “just be” all by myself. Is that so wrong? ThanksBillJamie's response - Well, I don't think it's wrong. We all need alone time, and I get it.

Data shows that heating bills should be cheaper this winter

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:12:33 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Most Americans could have cheaper heating bills this winter.Recent data from the Energy Information Administration shows natural gas and electricity prices are set to decline. The agency predicts the cost of heating a home with natural gas is likely to drop by about 21% from last year. That could save the average household about $160 over the winter. Shrewsbury, Missouri bookkeeper sentenced for embezzling $849,000 About 46% of U.S. homes use natural gas. Wholesale natural gas prices have fallen because gas supply is outpacing demand. Last year, they were high because the U.S. was sending a lot of it to Europe to replace Russian gas.Meanwhile, the cost of electricity will drop by 1% nationally. Propane should see a decline of 3%. and heating oil costs are set to rise by about 8% because there's now a shortage, but it's mostly used in the northeast.
