What type of heat source do you use in your homes?

lightningMD @lightningMD (5931) • United States 12 Feb 08

We heat with natural gas and it is so expensive. The bill runs us about 200.00 dollars every month. I'm looking for some ideas for a cheaper alternative. Just wondering what every one else is using and the costs involved.

We just borrowed this movie from the library. It was so funny. My husband and I both laughed all the way through it. Terry Bradshaw was actually pretty good in it. I could have lived without seeing his butt though.
