With the threat of Hurricane Irene approaching I was wondering what you miss most when the power is out. What I miss the most is my microwave. The stove still works, I have propane but the fridge will be out. So need to get everything cooked as it will last longer when it is no longer frozen, and the lights will be out, need to find candle holders. But the microwave now that is used all the time in our house. Oh yes and the Computer and TV. As long as it is light out I can hand sew. Need to make sure project is ready for that phase. Also need to get some big buckets of water ready for flushing too.
The longest we have been without power from a storm is a week. I would never have made it in frontier times LOL.

I miss my AC the most. Last hurricane we were without electricity for 7 LONG days. I had a migraine every day for 7 days.......it was Sept. in Louisiana and it was HOT.....WHen it came back on I cried. Bought a generator that will run the entire house if need be after that cause I do not intend to be stuck like that again.

AC for sure and just walking into room and flipping light switch. That is just what we do dozens of times a day. We have gasoline generators to run all appliances but usually after a couple of days we are off to hotel or out of town.. DH is not the camping type and likes modern conveniences...lol it is his only shortcoming.
