    YES I have electricity again!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This post has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but im SO happy I had to share!!!! Our power was out from the storms almost 6 hours tonight--- when it finally came back on!!!!!!! I've never been so happy to see the lights go on!!!!!!! We spent some of the time at mother-in-law's house (my mom lives down the street and didnt have electricity either, lol), but we had to come home to sleep--- I was ranting and raving about how the power was never ever going to come back on and i'd never sleep again and it was so hot I thought I was going to die, when POP goes the power!! It came back on just before i started crying! lol.... okay so again, sorry this had no meaning whatsoever but I just had to be excited somewhere and this seemed like a good place

    I've been in that situation before.... in the hours that we had black-out my flatmate and myself learnt how to play a card game.. bridge or something.. Yes we had THAT much time to actually learn how to play something we didn't know how to play!! We should've done a fake money poker game or something....

    How about this for making you appreciate the good things: have your hot water system die. Having cold showers when you wanted (at least) luke warm ones for over a week!!! Not fun.

    OMG Honey that SUCKS that your power was out for that long. Ours went out for almost 4 hours the other night and it was hell, but it was back on before I went to sleep thank god. I hope this cooler weather last's because it's so nice.

    Ugh...during the last big storm we had (where the trees were ripped from the ground a couple weeks ago)...our power was out from 9pm until 10am. That truly sucked. The only good thing about it was that it was cool out...and we have a walk-out basement so we slept down there. I would NOT want to be in a 3rd floor apt during that time.

    I'm so glad that you got your power back!!!

    Thanks ladies--- if anyones power ever goes out and mines on, feel free to come here, lol! I honestly, couldnt handle it anymore!! Is it cooler out tonight? i refuse to leave the air conditioned house, lol!

    and VG-- that storm where the trees were ripped from the ground, flooded our basement!! Luckily this one didnt, considering the fact that with the power out the ejector pump was off too!!

    ^ That's why we're buying a generator. That way, if the power ever goes out again, we can hook up the fridge and the sump pump.

    When I lived in Chicago, the power in our apartment building went out for TWO DAYS once! The elevator didn't work, so I had to walk up the stairs to my fifth floor apartment. I had to throw away most of the crap in the fridge and freezer. I quickly ate whatever I could. I had a regular job at the time and was making just over minimum wage, plus I had JUST gone grocery shopping. So yeah, that was a lot of money down the drain. I had to have my mom give me a wake up phone call so I could get up and go to work since my alarm clock didn't work. I took a shower, but I couldn't blow dry my hair or use my curling iron. It was a nightmare and I was so glad when the power finally came back on.

    I live so far out in the country that my power typically goes out at least once a month. This week's storm only caused a 'short' seven hour power outage. Earlier this year my power was out for 2 1/2 days. Since I don't have city water or natural gas available, no power means no water and no heat either. But a couple of years back I had the opportunity to get a good deal on a 3500 watt Honda generator ... which has been a fantastic gadget to have around when the power outages last longer than a couple of hours. It's already paid for itself by preventing the frozen food in my chest freezer from spoiling. And on the 'priceless' side, it's worth whatever it costs to be able to run my well pump to take a shower and flush the toilet !

    well, we dont live in a house, but I definitely want to get a generator when we have a house... the neighbors down the street have one but its so loud and obnoxious! But it could come in handy im sure
