Quick! Everyone get their extension cords! Whoever's closest is where we plug in!

We were without power and air conditioning for about 24hrs earlier this summer after a bad windstorm (no tornado) hit Omaha. I tried to rough it, but didnt last much more than 5 hours before I started to call hotels. (I'm a wuss!!)

If she's been dealing with this for a few days, I'm in awe!

I agree with Sandy.....does someone have her address? We could send her a pizza or pasta from Pizza Hut.

Ugh...I just made myself hungry......

I think the idea of sending her a remote pizza is great!!

I wonder if they'd deliver it with a note "Love the Neurotalk crew"?

Aw, this really sucks. I know where I live there were a couple of restaurants that didn't lose power. I was actually able to call Cassanos and get a pizza delivered. Of course, there was a two hour wait because everyone else was doing the same thing. LOL

Saying prayers that Sally gets her power restored TODAY!
