| Lanterns or Flashlights? | | When out camping do you use a lantern(propane, camp fuel, batteries) or do you use flashlights? We use flashlights but have thought of getting a propane lantern. | |
| | earthquake hits Baja, Ca. | | http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_baja_earthquakePraying for the west coast.
I just saw this when I signed out of yahoo tonight and it reminded me of a post I have been meaning to start. Though I live in Ohio, I recently heard that we are on a fault ourselves and that we can experience an earthquake as well.
But, because we don't experience them like California does, we are not taught on what to do when an earthquake hits.
So how does one prepare themselves for an earthquake and what does one do when one strikes? | |

| Flashlight Kitty! | | So, I have three cats. Only two of them seem to be falling for my trick. I had a flashlight the other day, trying to find something, and Toby ended up trying to catch it, the same way cats try to catch the laser lights. Anyways...so, now it's become a daily game for them. Even our oldest who is really not all that playful lately, got into the game. For awhile, when they tried to get it, I turned it off, so they'd think they got the little "bug" or whatever it was, they thought it was, but then it'd just come back later. Let me tell you, those cats went NUTS (even though they're both sick, they were both playing their hearts out with it) over it, but then I tried to get our baby cat (he is not a kitten, but he is the "baby" of the group to me) to play with it and he looked at me like "How dumb do you think I am?" lol. He would NOT even try to catch it. He was just like, "Okay mom, that's cool, you have a light. What am I supposed to do with that?"[em]lol[/em] | |
| | What you use when light goes off? | | What u use when light goes off, In the earlier days people including myself used candles but now almost every home has better options like Gensets or Inverters. I think the best option is Inverter as it never make sound and create pollution whereas Gensets create both. | |

| | What Do You Keep ON Hand For Power Outages? | | We have been having a lot of power outages over the last year. More than double what we had the entire year before. It seems that the outages occur at night when it is dark. We keep flashlights on every nightstand in the house. We keep candles in every room as well as a candle lighter. What do you keep on hand to give you light in case of a power outage? | |

| What do you do when the electicity goes out? | | I just hate it when the electricity goes of because of storm, etc.[em]angry[/em]I find that there is[b]nothing[/b] to do. Maybe I am so wrapped up in technology that I've forgotten what it is like without the TV, internet, lights, air conditioning, etc. Our power went out about a week ago and it was only for about an hour but I was going stir crazy.[em]blink[/em] I lit a candle and just kind of looked around, found a big flashlight and then sat back down like a dummy. I talked to my dogs and petted them and they were loving that! lol I tried to figure out something to do in the dark, but there wasn't much to do at all.. and besides it was getting stuffy in the house without A/C and the fans circulating the air. I was so glad when the power came back on and I could get on with my day!So what do you do?

| | Anyone terrified of the dark like me.. | | Does anyone know how to stop being scared of the dark, I'm deathly scared of the dark.. I guess i am scared of people coming out from the dark or something and what people can do to me in the dark cause if there is no light no one can see whats happening to you in the dark... I'm mostly scared of the outside dark but i still get scared inside in the dark. | |

| Do You Keep? | | Do you keep a flashlight or lantern close by while in your house during stormy weather? We have so many storms during the spring and summer months that I feel safer keeping a flashlight and lantern near by in case the power goes out, especially at night. I also have a battery operated television so I can get the local news and weather. | |
| | high school fights | | The high school here is full of problems a few months ago thaher was a fight between to 16 year olds over a pack of cigarettes one boy brought a flashlight to school and beat this other kid with it and ended up hitting the teacher trying to stop it the boy who got hit had cuts and bruses all over his arms an face and the teacher had a few cuts and bruses as well. the boy who started it got taken into custody and the other was taken to the nurse or something.
