Spinoff: What would you do if power was out for major length of time?

Extended stay hotel.

Crank the generator and buy a couple of cases of beer. Then drive around until I saw power company crew. Give them the beer and my address.

It worked after hurricane Ivan.

Think about why people before the Industrial Age has so many kids.

Our internet was out last week. My girlfriend and I had to sit and talk the whole night. We went to bed at like 8 pm.

I lost power for 3 weeks from one in Houston in like 2009.I was in high school at the time and worked at a sports shop at the mall, so I just worked from open to close, racked up $ and savored the AC. No one was shopping so I just got to chill and watch ESPN.

Lost power for 2 weeks during Issac in BR. Just got really drunk the whole time.

No gas cooktop or grills/smokers/propane burners? Might be time to get your husband to do some shopping.

Would be boring and suck.

I was in orange beach during Katrina and had no power for 8 days (condo on perdido beach blvd). It sucked. Miserably hot, bored, went to bed early but that was miserable too with the heat index in the 90s every day.

I drove to different restaurants in gulf shores and foley at 11am or so for lunch every day and just hung out for 3 or 4 hours, ordering and eating two or 3 meals, sometimes taking one back home if I was too stuffed after eating two meals.

We had no power for 3 days after Irene in South Georgia.

We ate a lot of fast food. Because somehow, the Hardee’s two miles away had power.

The cable and internet was out for longer.

Judging from past experience, ask my yankee neighbors what time they wanted me to turn it off. Their little darling couldn't sleep with the noise.

I'd probably fish a little more
