Top 10 Activities To Do When There’s A Power Outage
As a technology addict, when the power is out and electrons quit flowing, my world can lock up pretty quickly. Thanks to batteries, a short power outage goes unnoticed. However, if you live in an area beleaguered with storms, multiple car-into-a-pole vehicle accidents, or poor electrical service, you may often see a longer term power outage.
.................................................. .................................................. 1.Take a walk, bike ride, or exercise at your desk. Your neck, back, and posture will be surprised, but will thank you. A power outage is probably a sign telling you to get off your chair and out into the open. One of my favorite wellness websites, WebMD has a great article discussing various office exercises you can do. Just be careful doing these in the dark. __________________ Read full article

however that'd be stupid.. i can if necessary continue to use the computer and internet for up to as long as 48 hours with the amount of UPS juice i've got sitting at home (almost everything is ups'd..) I can extend this by using a laptop instead of a sevearly power reduced state of desktop machine....

Re: Top 10 Activities To Do When There’s A Power Outage
what happened to go work out side? ive lost power twice in the last 5 days. once last night, and once saturday.
i went out side and worked on various projects ive been putting off for quite awhile. its normally what i do when ive lost power. go out side and find work that doesnt require electricity. hell, when we lose power in winter, ill go out side and split wood by hand. it both provides something to do, and plenty of warmth.

Re: Top 10 Activities To Do When There’s A Power Outage
i've NEVER heard anyone use the term "mama" to refer to ones wife...
frankly i would expect a flying fist or foreign sharp object at ones face if anyone were to refer to their GF/Wife using that term here.
