If the power fails in my house, I have stick up light bulbs that I can use to light up the house. These run on batteries only so you will have light if you were to lose power. They have different varieties of stick up bulbs that you can use. These lights work very well in my home. Here is the link for these stick up light bulbs. http://www.thestickupbulb.com/stickupbulb_v1_10/?tid=1156&vd=1

I used to use candles whenever I had a power outage but now I used these stick up bulbs to have light when I need it. Though sometimes the smell of the scented candles is very nice and refreshing.

I hate power outages. Luckly we hardly get them since we live in a new neigborhood where the power lines are underground. The only time that we actually get them is when there doing road and sometimes we loose power for a few min to a few hours and it usally happens during the day time. The only time we lost it at night is when I was a kid god I hated it. Plus I got really far on a game and forgot to save it lol which made me pissed. But its very boting when there are power outages not much to do except play games on your computer or read depending on how light it is.

Usually, during power outages, my sister would talk for hours through the phone. Me, I would grab the flute, read a book, or just sleep. My father would get the piano that operates by blowing through a hose. My mother would cook, after setting up the candles of course and removing the plug of our refrigerator. When we were kids, we usually play hide and seek or make shadows with our hands and the candle. Sometimes I play with the candle, practicing making the fire go out with my fingers, and of course practicing my eyesight in darkness when finding the matchbox through the darkness after the light in the candle goes out. Sometimes, when I am really really bored, I would just save my voice for screaming for joy when the electricity supply comes back.
