I have been lighting candles for years. My mother lit some for my siblings and I when we were sitting for exams or attending interviews all those years ago.

Some days If I have nobody on the list I just light one for myself!

I'm going to try that. I really love your habit of lighting a candle for loved ones in times of stress or need. I’m going to try that.

I did go around turning things off last night and the clocks are now all sorted.... oh except.... the one in the car is still on winter time :lol: I only remember it when I am actually on the move. One of these days I'll get to fixing it. Fireworks are illegal here, but they still get through the net.

I'm with Kenju although we don't have hurricanes it's a flat panic when a big storm rides through to get all the electrics turned off . . .I've lost a pool pump, computer, video recorder and microwave due to storm surges . . .always a candle on hand although we don't necessarily wait for an electricity outage to use them . . .I like the glow of candlelight. Glad you're services resumed without too much hassle. . . don't forget to reset your digital clocks! I always do!

The power is fully restored and I am now working on all cylinders. I also have a few pillar candles here at all times but thought the night lights were safer for my little friends. Judy

We had thunderstorms last night and the threat of a tornado (none came, thank God) and I had to turn off the computer and un-plug everything before I was done reading. Hope yours is fully restored and that you can get some rest. I keep lots of pillar candles on hand, in glass hurricanes for when there is no power. Of course, it helps that I buy them wholesale.

That's why you're in a fog today. You used up all your clear-thinking cells while you sorted out the world yesterday. I can hear your fog horn from here. I'm off to light a candle for you right now! Pity you didn't have a toyboy visit last night, what with all that romantic candlelight and time to burn! ;-) Grannymar,
