My wife complains about this too. She says it's what keeps her up. Can't stop thinking. Ever. About everything. Everything in life that's worrying her, all the time, or random things. All night. All day.
I have the opposite problem lately. I sit and try to think of stuff, and I just sit on the initial concept forever and nothing comes. I can't remember when this started, but it sure sucks.
"The fan in me made it very hard to give their PC port a 6/10 in my official review. It hurts to critique the things we love, even if we all know how lousy Yes Men are."
6/10 is a harsh critique? Isn't 6/10 above average?
Given what we seem to have for neighbors around here, last year when I went out and bought a propane stove at Cabela's ahead of the second power outage, I also bought a 26" machete.
Two weeks without power last year have removed my sense of humor about hurricanes. We're still catching up on the financial costs of those storms at my house.
Really hoping my abused generator starts up tonight when I test it.
My toddler has mild autism (though her symptoms seem to abate more and more as she gets older), and having to completely overhaul her routine in an extended power outage is a painful thing.
We have camping gear, so a power outage isn't as horrible for us as it is for a lot of people. I try to keep a decent supply of shelf-stable goods around, and the stove is on gas. I prepare by freezing water in any open freezer space (in containers of course) and filling containers with drinking water (in case the water supply is contaminated or you are on a well that has an electric pump).
Of course, we also don't have kids, and the whole disruption of the autistic routine thing seems like one of the most legit worries about a power outage I have seen. I mean, other than people whose life support depends on power, that's pretty high up there. People who were pissed because their power was out for a week and their food spoiled after the last time... maybe this time they will actually heed the warnings and prepare!
Serious question: Why is it always milk, bread, and eggs? Esp considering 2 of those things will spoil quickly? Why not canned food and juice boxes? And candy? *-*

But it's still stuck in my head.
Thanks, Obama.
So according to the Beaufort scale he can kill it before it reaches 30 mph.
I realized that the Pacific Northwest has little to no chance of getting hurricanes due to geographic location. I'm totally ok with this.
Yeah, we have volcanoes, some floods, and the occasional storm, but East coast can keep their hurricanes.

The longest power outage I've ever dealt with was the great northeast outage back in 2003.
