Yeah. OTOH, people who have coped with stuff like that are much better able to live without amenities than people who’ve never done without!
Given my druthers...
I can do without a lot of things, but not my computer! Last hurricane when we really lost power, I was so miserable hubby finally hooked up the generator so i could get my fix. LOL
My computer is now one of life's necessities..I am ready for no lights.I can keep warm by the fireplace..Can preserve some frozen food for awhile.. Can't cook..but can make do for awhile ..No computer is much worse than no TV...No A/C is the very worst in our summer heat..I'm gone if it lasts too long. So far I haven't had a long outage.
My daughter's power was off for more than 2 weeks from Ike..That's why I had the great long visit from her.
