What you do during a black out (brown out)?

I just go to bed and fell asleep because I'm afraid of the dark .. haha .. I don;t want to see monsters .. haha

When there is no light, the first thing that we do is to light a few candles, we admire the fire and the movement of the flame, listen to radio and chat in family mas about the habitual thing. the flame, listen to radio and chat in

We go for a walk whenever there is a blackout...or if the invertor is working properly we just go to sleep, but first preference is always for walking or talking with my friends, i sometimes just love it when there is a blackout....i mean it gets so damn quiet during that time...

yeah, i sleep, eat , talk to my housemates and hang out in the living room, a lot actually. it's kinda thrilling to share scary stories at night when all around is dark and there's no electricity...hehe.

I sleep, play the guitar, read the news or books. If boredom can't be helped, I go to areas with electricity so I can still continue playing online games.. I am so addicted with Mu Online. ^_^

When you say blackout that means the entire place right? (city) and brown out means only a portion? Is that correct? Anyway, It's either I go to sleep or do something with my cellphone like texting, browsing the internet or playing games. Good thing I have this mobile solar charger it could charge my phone or Ipod even at night. In my location, power loss always happen and it's really sickening!

When i was younger, i thought losing electgricity was fascinating. When it stormed, I waited to see if the lights would go out. My mother would run for flashlights and candles. Now that i am older, losing electricity is not as much fun. Now I am the responsible parent. Now I run for flashlights and candles.

I don't miss out on much. Thank goodness for a car phone charger, I can charge my cell phone and get to the internet via my cell phone. As for tv no big loss there and if I really needed to see something on the tv we have a portable that hooks up to the car also. But usually I don't have to worry about this becuase I live right next to the power sub station. So in order for them to get everyone else's power back on mine has to come on first. Or if it is going to be down for a few days we always have a generator that we can hook up for the bare essentials.

It depends what time of the day the brownout occurs. If it occurs during daylight I usually go outside the house and chat with my friends. If it occurs during night I sleep or sing a song but most of the time I sleep and if the electricity is not yet back when I wake up,I would just sleep again. And sometimes I eat especially if I'm alone in the house.

Like anybody else, I also make sure that all my electronic gadgets are fully charged when long black outs occur but just in case all my gadgets' batteries drain out before the power restores, I sing my favorite songs to entertain myself. :D

I usually go and read a book or exercise and maybe a little sleep. It depends n how I feel.

I think that reading would be common thing to do during a blackout...presuming you have some form of light. I do this as well. I have to small children, so we also play board games, hide and seek, and other kid friendly activities.
