@JaneOnceMore - yeah they should change the riddle from "the chicken or the egg" to "the friends or the dinner party."

Thanks for answering about your condo heat thing. Im still curious about what the device is and where / how they are powering it (solar?), but i found out a LOT about single vs mass billing of utilities, makes sense why it's mass.

I dont like anybody visiting me in hospital. When i was in second grade, i was in to have surgery on a burn. My godmother came to visit me and left a box of chocolates. I wasnt being fed because my surgery was the next day, so i ate a bunch of the chocolates, figuring my godmother was smart to leave me food!
