Does anyone here use solar power? Does it work okay for you?
The two relatives who dealt with solar power experienced this:
1. Not enough reliable electricity. That's in Southern California! They ended up having to get the local electric company come out and hook them up to the normal supply.
2. Allowed a "contractor" to install solar. The panels were never connected. After a few weeks, the "contractor" unceremoniously uninstalled the solar panels and was never heard of again.

Whatever you do: proceed with extreme caution. Do not sign anything that you can fully read and understand. Don't believe words like "lifetime" warranty. Don't trust anyone who wants you to sign electronically on an iPad or similar.

Mostly: don't believe the hype. We regularly experience high pressure sales people trying to get us to sign up.

Until someone I know in person can say something positive, I wouldn't touch that stuff.

Annette Author Icon - Not too long ago, I spent a "lovely" 30-45 minutes with two sales guys pitching a solar panel system. When I let them in, I told them I didn't have much to do right then and would politely listen, but wasn't likely to buy. They were armed with cool iPads filled with colorful graphs, video testimonials from 'satisfied customers', and a well-practiced patter. They were dumbfounded when, at the end of their spiel, I thanked them for the presentation and then invited them to try someone else. As they were leaving, the talkier of the two muttered, "I could have sworn I had a sale."

Yeah - nope.

I might be getting a little reckless in my old age. When I put fresh linens on the bed yesterday, I took the scissors and cut off all the tags on the pillows! I'm obviously not keeping it a secret.
My mother had a smile that could melt an iceberg. I still want to call her sometimes and just talk. It's been 17 years since she passed away, but I still do things her way and hope she would be proud.
Happy Mother's Day to everyone. We all had mothers!
