We were without power for five full days and I thought I was going to lose it! I was Mr. Bigtime Grumpy! Grrrr.

You have my deepest admiration for making it through 2 whole weeks without cracking up!

12. woo hoo, congratulations!

The most I've been out of power was a bit over a week but many of my friends were out 2 weeks for Hurricane Georges. With a storm that size, I'm not surprised at the amount of time it took. But it sure makes you appreciate the little luxuries in life.


it also made me appreciate my grill

[curse10]

[commander bunnypants]

16. Astonishing!

Did a Halliburton subsidiary have the contract? (joking - I recall hearing that they had to wait to get the downed trees taken care of before restoring lines in many places)

Welcome back to the 21st century (so you can take part in trying to prevent our all getting dragged back to the 19th.)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Welcome back!

At least you didn't need a refrigerator to enjoy your Guinness...
