Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve!

Good morning and good for you, Dale.....
Morning Mad
Electric service is also not a right. Ponder if you were told your power
would be out for 14 days.
Offering to pay for it?
You wanna teach an 87 year-old how to use one?
What an EASY solution!!! I'll jump right on that!
...
But I see no comment about the 14-day time frame for repair. That MUST be
completely acceptable, since no mention of it was made.
Not acceptable in my book. But maybe it IS a reality due to this nasty storm.

I didn't say, at all, that you have to be happy about it nor complacent for that matter.
But reality bites.
As to the other stuff...have a nice day, Bear.
That is completely unacceptable. There should be Priority repairs for folks like your dad. Hope you get some answers regarding the pacemaker. Go get 'em GrizzlyBear!!!!
Bear my husbands life depends on the oxygen concentrator and during an outage we have no "special treatment" for getting the power back on quicker then anyone else either. There is no Priorities List for that any longer here. I was told to get a generator for outages.

Yup,it was told to me they used to give medical priority but they don't do that anymore.Wow
So I had to buy a generator cuz with hurricanes and bad storms here I have in previous years been with no power for 2 weeks at a time
I'm sorry. That's just WRONG!!! They should supply a small generator to you! And anyone else who has a medical dependency on such things!
well when you think about it, it would be kinda unrealistic to expect the "priority people" treatment. My power company is excellent, (a Co-Op, and also cheapest on around the state) they cover a vast amount of area. So just consider when people who are medically needing of power compared to those who aren't. These people are scattered all over the place.They aren't all together on one road or supply line. So if you think about how the power company would have to travel to each individual section to start the power back on they'd be zig zagging all over the country for one or two homes emergencies. It doesn't make sense really to do that. Instead they use the zones with the most population hooked up to them and turn them back on and move to the next area. It's much more efficient to restore power the way they do it now.I'm sorry. That's just WRONG!!! They should supply a small generator to you! And anyone else who has a medical dependency on such things!
If one ever finds themselves in a situation of medically dependent on electric, the first thing to do is prepare for ones own safety first cuz things/nature happens. Think ahead 
I suppose if you can afford it then it's best to be independent.Yup,it was told to me they used to give medical priority but they don't do that anymore.
Not easy if one lives in an apartment. How does one go about it?
That's a tough one.
When I had an apartment I lost a lot of salt-water aquarium stuff due to a 3 (or 4) day power outage. Just had no way to run the stuff. Now, backup power supplies are cheaper, but even then I don't know if I could have done it.
Besides, I was hardly ever there anyway (always at GF's or something).

Use to be back in da old days that every one always helped a neighbor out no matter what the problem was. Now a days if there's no profit in it for them they could care less about you. It's so sad how people are anymore
