[LSK]

And welcome to DU

[KitchenWitch]

8. Welcome to DU!

[Louis Cipher]

17. It's the same old me.

Well, new me, I just changed the spelling in my username. I'm gonna let that other account go dead.

[KitchenWitch]

20. I figured as much

:hi:

[Louis Cipher]

24. Good to see you too!

:hi:

[Shine]

2. that is so weird

[KitchenWitch]

16. "Maintenance"

:eyes:

[Shine]

28. that's fucked up, if ya ask me.

i've never heard of such a thing. :eyes:

oh well, have fun at the beach. it should be gorgeous tomorrow, all up and down the coast.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. Why?

Do you need help with your bill?

[KitchenWitch]

9. No, planned outage

electrical maintenance is their excuse.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Ahh...They need an excuse to raise your rates.

That sucks!

[KitchenWitch]

25. Ain't it the truth!

I am thinking, within the next couple of years, that we might go partially solar. May as well capitalize on the weather here.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. Sounds like an excellent idea to me...

It'll raise the value of your home.

[EFerrari]

5. What's going on, sweetie?

[KitchenWitch]

12. Just SoCal Edison being service oriented!

:P

[EFerrari]

32. I had them during the rolling Enron brown outs.

May all their grammas all go on strike.

[KitchenWitch]

34. no kidding

Not a monopoly, my ass.

[Jamastiene]

6. What's up?

Why? :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

13. See above

"planned maintenance"

[SeattleGirl]

10. Why?

Everything okay?

[KitchenWitch]

14. Everything is hunky dory!

They are taking the whole neighborhood down for maintenance.

[wildhorses]

11. what for and for how long?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

15. They say 8 hours (8AM-4PM)

I am hoping it is shorter.

[BrotherBuzz]

18. Tomorrow is Beach Day, or have you forgotten?

;)

[KitchenWitch]

21. Yes, definitely beach day!

We are doing Disney on Friday since she is off school that day.

[UrbScotty]

19. Look at it this way: You'll use less energy, save $$, and make Gore happy (nt)

[KitchenWitch]

23. There is that

But we will be eating dinner out tomorrow night (electric stove) and that won't make my pocketbook happy.

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Make sure your cell phone is charged

and if you have a corded phone, too, it will work while the power is off.

Hang in there and Welcome to Sunny California! Where things are done no matter what you want :hi:

Are you going to the beach for the day?

PS Glad to read the positive update on your mom :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

29. Corded phone - check

Cellphone charged - at least for now - But I do have a car charger for that if need be.

My mom is doing really well. And my dad is not so incoherent now too.

After my daughter gets out of school we are going to the beach. May not be very warm but at least it will be something to do other than waiting for the power to come back up.

[Whoa_Nelly]

35. Daughter, sand toys, some munchy goodies and drinks

and sunscreen, of course... :D

You two will ahve fun!

Am going to the Central Coast for July 4th. Want to borrow a friend's metal detector...something have always wanted to give a try.

[KitchenWitch]

36. You will have fun, it is gorgeous up there.

[Whoa_Nelly]

37. Yup! Friend and I have a condo for $55 a night

at Pismo Beach! We're going there for 4 days, then up to Monterey for a couple of days :woohoo:

[VenusRising]

27. Just in case you need entertainment...

[KitchenWitch]

31. I may use some of those!

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

33. I've done this one many times.

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.


I'm weird. :crazy:

[huskerlaw]

38. Ugh, wtf?

I've never heard of such a thing.

One more reason to be glad I have LADWP instead of SoCalEd!
