I think we all probably take it for granted most of the time. But when you don't have it for 4 days, and don't know when you'll get it back, you'll miss it like it's the love of your life. The power here went out friday morning here after this huge storm we had knocked down hundreds of trees falling on power and phone lines. We don't have phone service at all. not even cell phones work since the nearest tower has no power either. We have a generator to supply some power to the house, but it's not connected to the heater, water heater, stove or washing machines. I'm almost out of clean clothes and haven't taken a shower since thursday. Any hot food I want to eat has to be made on a hot plate and I have to drive 20 miles to get cell phone reception. Since I live out in the middle of nowhere at the end of a dirt road and the end of the phone and power grids, I don't know when I'll get any services back. In some ways in kinda fun and humorous, but I really wish I could take I could take a shower.
Update: I posted this on another site this morning. Most areas around me have power, but me being at the end of line am still without it. I'll know we're close when I see someone working on the power line down the road. The cell tower is back up now, so at least we have some type of phone service. The signal isn't very good out here, but it's better than nothing.

Ouch. That sucks.
I've gone two days without power once, but we were right in town and got our services back right away. I can't imagine what that would be like.

A massive ice storm hit southeast Arkansas back in 2000 that knocked out about 2/3 of the state's electricity. We had gas and water, but without electricity to regulate the heaters, we were still S.O.L. I looked like a grizzly by the end of that week. We had to shower with a Coleman lantern, and most of us slept together to keep warm. I worked overnight at the penitentiary at the time, so I slept alone during the day. Fortunately, we got it back on after being out for a week.
I feel for you, Cisco.

There's a crew working on the power line right now finally. And a guy from the phone company was just here to check out that problem. He said he would try to get a crew out today, or at the latest tomorrow. I'll finally be able to take a real shower with hot water!

I don't care who started what fetish; I just said German, because when I look at foreign porn, Germany has the most videos that involve urination and defecation. Vomiting on the other hand, Japan totally has the market cornered on that one.

Ok, let me clear this up. The ROMANs invented incest and orgies, not the Germans. I also offered those suggestions to YOU, Mike.  I never said, nor have I ever, boinked my family. LOL Looks like Lupin is our foreign pr0n expert. Maybe I was wrong about the Japanese inventing golden and chocolate(?) showers, that may have been the Chinese. One thing that is CERTAIN is that the Japanese invented masturbating to ginormous-breasted cartoon schoolgirls getting ass-blasted by green tentacle monsters with equally ginormous dongs. |
