I Think I'm Going To Lose My Internet Connection and Power! Help!  

Hi Lee! So far I'm still here! The blinking is getting worse
though! I have a portable game that I just took out that I
am trying to get ready just in case! I got my booklight ready
too!lol Have lots of candles ready too! Wish me luck!

I bet you're gonna miss myLot too, I know I think about it alot recently when I'm not on here, and you're a much more active member!

Don't forget to get some food ready ;)

Lee.

Hi again Lee! I just finished dinner and the lights are still
on but, I am getting calls from alot of friends in the area
who are all saying that the flickering lights are getting worse
so we are ready! The power is out all around the area that I
live in so it may just be a matter of time!

We had that storm yesterday. It yelled a lot, but left calmly. So, I'm hoping it is brief there & your power is still on. It seems to be moving fairly fast for as large as it is...so maybe the fury will be brief!!!

Hi Opal! Me again!

How did the storm go last night? Did your power stay on?

Lee.

Hey pye! The flickering is getting worse! I am getting ready to
have dinner! Hope that the power stays on, but am hearing there
are more and more outages in my area so don't know how much
longer it will be! Have my booklight ready, candles and everything
else! I hate this!

Actually, Opal, you should shut down your computer so that you won't crash your computer with a power surge or anything.

Hey Cowgirl! I have the cellphone charging as we speak and it
has been charing for almost 3 hours now! I have gas heat and
gas stove so I'm good for heat anyway, I think? I have candles
and flashlights ready! I am getting ready to serve dinner and
just keeping my fingers crossed because the flickering is getting
worse! I just had a major flicker now! Could be dark soon!

Oh yes, heh! It's 8:36 here so I wasn't really thinking of what time it is where you are. Get that dinner on the table, and I'd leave some leftovers on the counter for an hour. We always have the "open the fridge once" rule to get everything we want out right after the power goes out.

hiya ladies!

Great tips there Amber Having the landline is important and charging the mobile phone a great idea, at least if people can call for help if they need it that's half the battle. A blanket is good too, although I could think of nicer ways to keep warm... unfortunately we've been told to keep it clean

Alice!

Hi How are ya!?!

Well I think Cuddling would be considered clean, but I'm thinking your thinking something different...

Hey Oshy! I am in Southern Westchester! The lights are flickering
really seriuosly! I know that some of my friends have already
lost power and there alot of downed trees and power lines in
my area so it isn't looking good! And with this many outages
it could take awhile for Con Edison to get the power back on!
And I mean days, not hours so I am very scared! I just filled
up my freezer with food! Damn! I have gas heat and stove so
I can cook, but I would hate to lose all my food I just bought!
I love you too!

Oh that is always the way isnt it Opal?
Filling up the freezer with food right before the power goes out.
It is 4am here and the storm is wild outside but the power is good.

Hi Amber! I hate it when we lose power! It's been a long time
since the last power outage, but the lights are really flickering
and some of my friends are already without power in different
parts of my County so it isn't looking good! The flickering is
getting worse so I am as ready as I can be! The winds are very
strong and the tree limbs are breaking so who knows what will
happen next! Going to eat dinner before anything else happens!

Hey Lamby! You could have said whatever you wanted, but I am
not going to be doing anything except reading a book anyway!lol

That was why I suggested that she have a candle lit bubble bath Lamb Chop ... it doesn't get any cleaner then that!

Hey Stef! I'm not married! And roomy and I are not exactly
on, well I'll just read a book!

Yeah, sorry. lol. I thought "hubby" was just another word for special someone until I finally looked it up... That's the last time I use words that I'm unsure of the meaning. Well, I try... lol.

Hi minnie! I just feel so "powerless" (no pun intended) without
my electricity! I don't like not being able to be here and not
being able to watch tv (if I wanted to)! It's just the idea
of not having the option! So far, I'm still in the light! But,
the people around my area aren't so it could be just our luck
or just a matter of time!

Hi Lakota! I happen to love candle light! But, since I have
cats I worry about them knocking them over! So, I guess I would
just take myself into my bed and read by "booklight"!

ok

Hi Hatley! Who is the other Opal? Someone has taken my name? I
haven't seen any other Opal yet! I thought I was the one and
only! Hope I don't have a copycat now! I would like to find
out more info on this other Opal! Anyway, I am ready with my
"booklight flashlight" so if the lights do go out I will just
got to bed and read! I have just finished dinner and the dishes
are done so now I can relax! Hugs back at ya! The only Opal!
