Whew, glad everything turned out ok and life is getting back to normal! But that is a good observation - wouldn't it be great if people connected like this without some sort of threat or tragedy? i found the same thing happening on a smaller level when my dad passed away. All these cousins and uncles with whom I hadn't spoken to in ages all came out of the woodwork and we vowed to stay in touch and be closer. After the funeral, it all went back to "normal."

I am guilty of the same thing. I got pwr back a couple of days ago, but just got the cable and internet back yesterday. I cannot lie, I had friends over last night just hanging out and drinking and could not wait for them to leave just so I could catch up with my friend : the TV. So sad

Nothing like a good disaster to bring people together. I can remember great block parties we had after Hurricane Opal, using up thawed food we didn't want to spoil or have to throw out. I wished that we had kept those up, even if only once a month. Tara R.'s last blog post..Sketchy drunk guys…

I am glad you got back your electricity!! I hope you do get outside more and talk to the neighbors as well. We really only have like 4 on our block....I see them quite a bit. My problem isn't TV it is the fact that I can't keep my eyes open!! stacey's last blog post..Good To be Home

Glad your live is getting back to normal. Praying you are spared IKE. (My parents have to get a new roof after Gustav, and had one tree uprooted.) jen's last blog post..Game Day (Week 2)

Happy electricity. When we lived in the city, one of my greatest pleasures was sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine and talking to neighbors who strolled past. I miss it still.

Most of my street is still either deserted, or because we have power, "bubbled" again already. I'm secretly hoping that tomorrow when the hubby and I spend what will be hours raking up tree branches that we'll finally get a chance to see our neighbors again. And I really really hope we're not doing this whole dance again in a week. You might have to talk me down off the ledge again in a few days. I do not like where Ike is headed, but I'm trying (failing!) to ignore it for the time being. (And I found these for you HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) Katie's last blog post..Hurricane Laws

Exactly the reason we don't have a tv. Everyone thinks it is because we don't like television shows, or that we are making some noble political statement. All false. It is just simply that I like it too much. Life is too short to waste time watching it go by on a couch and not out in your front yard living it. lilalia's last blog post..Grrrr!

TV!… exactly the reason I only got 2 hours of sleep last night. I caught up on Project Runway, Top Design, Raising the Bar, (the new) 90210, Chelsea Lately, Mad Men, The Closer, Architecture School… I had a marathon of tv to make up for not being able to watch any. So, so bad, but so, so good
