And at a time when the electricity system is working to the max on go all the Xmas lights.Debstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395898347034383133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10707169.post-56201911491666186432006-12-05T14:13:00.000-05:002006-12-05T14:13:00.000-05:00dude, that blows. in 01 i lost power in my house ...dude, that blows. in 01 i lost power in my house for a week and a half after an ice storm tore up the countryside. it was over christmas too. i feel for you.<br /><br />the title of the post made me think of austin powrs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10707169.post-68930866487917335792006-12-05T10:23:00.000-05:002006-12-05T10:23:00.000-05:00that's telling her.
We lose power once or twice ...that's telling her. <br /><br />We lose power once or twice a winter due to high winds. it's usually for a few hours. But it sure makes a person realize their dependance on electricity. It's not a very secure feeling. We are very complaisant when it comes to our consumption of energy.concerned citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935396158050893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10707169.post-17841952594444855432006-12-04T13:15:00.000-05:002006-12-04T13:15:00.000-05:00Wow...

Her blog is hardly worth visiting on a one post per month basis, all posts just going back to her hurricane supplies website. I would almost just delete this entry if it weren't for the fact that it allows me to comment about it.<br /><br />No, Susan, we haven't suffered any emotional problems, nor have we succumbed to any stress. When you live in a place with lots of trees that are taller than power lines, and in that same place there is a strong chance of freezing rain throughout the winter, and those rain storms are often coupled with wind, it is no surprise that we will lose power periodically.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog, but next time, give me some content on your own blog to let me know you are a real person, rather than a piece of software conjured by a sales daemon.Phil Plasmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062925429031957360noreply@blogger.com
