After 80+ hours without power.........
I would like to state that hot showers are better then sex!!!!!!!

Also:

Dear President Obama and Congress- Please write a stimulus bill that involves fixing our infrastructure and dependence on oil and specifically earmarks the money for American Workers and American goods and resources.

One other thing-

Ahem... I told Irene to bring it on. I would just like to say.......she kicked my ass :(

The only real casualty for us was the budget!

8. Thanks :)
I now live in a 200 year old converted cotton mill. I think it could withstand a tornado :)

I'm so glad that the storm surge in NYC was not worse, but very surprised at all the flooding in VT. They've had a rough year in regard to flooding.

We really dodged a bullet this time.

9. Every one needs just one hurricane/tropical storm
experience - after that they are prepared for every other one.
Buy a solar camping shower. :grouphug:

10. I've lived in New England all my life. Unfortunately I just moved
It was very spur of the moment so I was/am starting completely over. The old residence is stocked and ready for anything.

12. Lost all my food in the fridge etc
Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 04:38 PM by Marrah_G
Then got paid and spent half of it on food/cooler/ice/candles etc, Lost 3 days work at one job and 2 at the other so this month will be pretty tough financially but we will get through.

These things are really hard when you live paycheck to paycheck.

19. Glad your power's back, and agree with your stimulus plan.
I'd add burying the lines at the same time. Fixing up the funkiest schools would be cool too.
