Thank the lor' my kindle and iPad are fully charged and I have beer in fridge. I have to drink it right, before it gets warm.
It's so weird, you walk in another room and still flip on the light switch. And I must say, it's getting a little stuffy in here.
So I'm reading, playing some games on my iPad and drinking. That's pretty much it. No Big Brother. Whaaaa!
Trying not to use phone cause with no wifi, battery life pretty much sucks. Adios my friends. See you when there is power. Hopefully soon!!!!

Do you know why it's out and how long it's projected to be out for? I'd definitely do a bit of reading.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you should turn your wifi off on your phone so it doesn't use up extr battery constantly searching for wifi. I think.

We had a wicked storm, there are 3 cities that I know of that are out. My girlfriend was at a hospital and that had a code black and had to take stairs to leave. I would hope the hospital has generators I have a DTE power, othat's what we have in Detroit and this great app is supposed to tell you about power outages in your area. Big surprise, the app is down! So big help that is. So I will patiently wait reading my kindle and drinking my warm beer!!!  |

My wifi is off so it's on LTE and that is more of a power hog and battery drainer. If worse comes to worse, I'll sit in the car and charge it....then run out of gas!!! |

I probably didn't explain it right, but on my iphone, I can go into settings and turn off wifi so the phone only uses the 3G. By turning off the wifi, the phone does not continuously search for a wifi signal, since I know one isn't available. Does that make sense? |

Totally makes sense, wifi off and I'm down to 49%. Yikes. I'll be sitting in my car recharging for sure if this no power keeps up.

I'm sorry. We had a bad storm blow through here a couple years ago, and were without power from Monday evening till Friday noon. And we're right in town. That really sucked! I know what you mean about flipping the light switch on - I did that for the whole 3 1/2 days. I guess we really are creatures of habit! Hope you get power back soon |
