What do you do for fun when the power goes out?

i usually find that the best way to spend your time enjoying boring hours is to take the mickey out of someone..usually it's my kid brother or cousin sister ... i just recollect some funny incident that leaves my brother sulking at taking cover behind some curtains .. they retaliate with great vengeance by telling the tales told by my grandmother about my misdeeds when i was their age...

cell phone to the rescue. i use my cellphone in that case but first we don't have many power cutbacks and we enjoy it ...

Hi Moneyman, we just had a power breakdown 2 days back. Fortunately it was only for 2 hours. It was dark, and I didn't have any candles in the house. I was alone, as my hubby has left for his weekly games. The only thing I could do, was play some games on my mobile phone, and then chit-chat with a friend! I don't like having no power - it was hot and there were mosquitoes! And like you said, no TV, computers,.....

Well thankfully that hasn't happened in a long time! I hate being without power, but who doesn't! As I said, it's been quite awhile now so let me think! I am usually to nervous to do much. I am always worried about food spoiling in the refrigerator and stuff like that. If it's still light out and warm out I just go outside and hang out with the neighbors. If it's at night and warm out I just stay out to keep cool. Now if it's winter and stormy and that's the reason for loss of power that's another story! Then I would probably stay in bed and curl up with the kittys or bake a cake, maybe read or just take a nap!

Guess I am lucky enough for I never encountered any power shortage in my Country if it is in term of power supply maybe because we have a lot of diesel and if it will have something wrong we have a generator.....

I prefer to go to the terrace for long walks and that is somethin I really love to do and wait for the electricity to come.Sometimes Iprefer taking my son also and would talk and sing with him so that both of us would have a good time and our bonding gets stronger. Regards

If it is not late and the children are still up then I will play a game with them . We like to play a dice game . But if the children are gone to bed then most times I will read a book until the power comes back on or until I am tired enough to go to bed . I really need to get a phone for when the power goes out as mine are all cordless and don't work , that way I would be able to use my phone and talk to friends :)

Its fun to sit with the candles on and just talking about things that have been going on lately with everyone. Make some jokes and laugh. Unless your all by you self. If its rain and lighting I like to lay on my bed and watch it. Happy Mylotting!!!!

If there's no power it's good chance to me to take book. I like to read very much. But if it's late at evening I'd rather go to bed.

i prefer to go to bed if i can't go online or watching tv cause of no power

cuss & fuss. i hate it when that happens.

Hi friend! When was staying in my hostel during college days.Whenever the power drops at night we will be howling and shouting.That was really crazy indeed.But at home whenever power goes on,I will be engaged in some discussion with my parents.Hearing to their old stories and all.Thank you for having this discussion.Happy mylotting
