Well that's good.

Was it a neighborhood effect or did your own power get messed up somehow? I've experienced both, and the former is usually much worse because getting it back is totally out of our control.
The entire neighborhood got knocked out.

I once spent two days without electricity. Insanity ensued to everyone in the house except me, as I wandered in the woods because the weather was beautiful :laugh:

It wasn't long thank God. It was around an hour and a half. Of which I've been through worse.
I've been through much worse than that as well. Blackouts are truly a pain.

Yeesh. Never gone THAT long without power.

What I usually do to pass time is play some Card Games with my family or just play on one of my handheld games for a bit.

My parents also complained because we got our power back....13 hours after everyone else :urg:

Let's just say I had to move in to a friend's until they calmed down from the lack of power......What a buncha Facebook addicts!
Admittedly I'm kinda guilty of that too. No power and I can't remain calm.

I love the Internet and all but a Blackout doesn't make me freak out over it. Now if my computer got burned out from the power outage on the other hand.... (some of the older computers in my house have suffered from that before, but they were extremely old, slow, laggy and in summary, crap. Losing them in particular was not a loss for any of us).

I've had to sleep during blackouts before too. Which shouldn't seem like it would matter since it's always pitch perfect black for you to get some shut-eye, but when you have to go to the bathroom....

34 I've gone a few days without power a few years ago.. it was before I had a smart phone and the crappy AoL internet I had suffered a connection problem on my side that wasn't fixed but instead dropped..

My bathroom is so close, I don't even have that problem.

Seriously, it's literally 3 steps from my bedroom. :laugh:

I've had to sleep powerless during heat before. Not pleasant, simply put.

^My bathroom is pretty much exactly the same then, lol. I just don't like being in there when I can barely see anything.

I curl up into a ball on my couch and rock back and forth when there is a blackout. No kidding
