W/o electricity for 8 hours - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LaverneShirley · 07-20-2001, 11:40 AM

Anyone ever been w/o electricity from 5 pm to 12:50 am? Not fun. Not fun at all. Yesterday was just a bad day. First I had to get up early to go to my great-grandmother's funeral. Then I had to go to this dinner at church. Then I went shopping, which was fun. I got my friend's b-day present, and I got myself a CD and 4 t-shirts... I think that everytime I go shopping for someone else I end up spending more on myself. But the store was having a huge sale so I got 4 shirts for $40. Anyway, then my sister and I got home and attempted to open the garage...that didn't work. So first I missed Bosom Buddies 'cause it's on at 1:30 and gertting up early made me think it was a Sunday so I didn't set my VCR and missed it while I was at the dinner. Then I missed Happy Days 'cause the electric was out. Grr. This made me a very cranky person. So I was without TV, music (no batteries for headphones), and computer. And without AIR CONDITIONING. OMG! I couldn't even go swimming 'cause I don't swim if the filter's not on. nAnyway, around 11:30 my sister, dad, and I went to my grandparents (they're in KY for the burial) 'cause their electricity was on. About quarter til 1 my mom called saying the electric was back on. I was mad 'cause I couldn't even bring Guys and DOlls to my grandparents house 'cause it was in my VCR! I just did NOT have a good day. I was so bored and hot and I needed LIGHTS.... Ugh.

By any chance, do you live in California ?

Anyway, too bad about your power being out. I can't stand being without electricity.

Actually, I live in California, and I've never even had to go through 8 hours of no electricity.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jay Harrington is all mine! I don't care what you guys say, cuz he's mine! Not yours! AHAHAHAHAAAA!

Teddy: Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Jinny: Look, you know who I am, OK? You know who my family is. Why the hell do you even wanna be with me at all?
Teddy: Because, I love you.

Jinny: What was she expecting? The welcome wagon?

Jinny: Basically, people are who people are. Your born, you die pretty much the same person. All the rest is just window dressing.

Check out my Nancy McKeon Supersite!

Teddy: Be honest with me, not my parents!
Jinny: All right, fine. You want honesty? Why don't you let me tell you a little bit about my family? See, I never really had a birthday party unless you wanna count my 15th, when my father showed up for cake, plastered in his underwear! Oh, yeah, by the way, my mom couldn't make it that year either because, well, sadly, six months earlier she blew her brains out!!!!!
Teddy: Jinny, my God.
Jinny: As for my brother, uh yeah, John... see, he just doesn't like you unless your American, white, and straight! and for me, a few weeks ago when I had that nut case after me... yeah, I had to make a little list, of all the guys that I've slept with in the last two years. I couldn't remember some of their names.
Teddy:Stop! What are you...
Jinny: Ya know what? This is who I am, THIS IS MY FAMILY!!!! Come on, it's your turn. You go ahead, flash that all-American, prep school, choir boy smile and you tell me that it doesn't matter! *long pause* Yeah... Thats what I thought.

8 hours is pretty long, I've gone without power even longer than that. About 6 years ago, we had this really bad bad t-storm around 6:30am. It knocked out the power from 6:30am Saturday morning to 4am Sunday morning and It only got hotter outside. I couldn't swim either because we were in the process of putting in a new liner in the pool. Plus, I was getting over an ear infection and heat exhaustion, I almost passed out in the hospital while visiting a friend. I'm glad I didn't have to stay overnight. I hate Hospitals.

Another time, we had this freak October snowstorm that knocked out our power from Sunday to Thursday.
