Today, my power finally came back on. I excitedly went and spent $100 to refill my fridge, only to come back home and discover the power is out again, and might not be back on for another three days. FML

eggmarie tells us more.

Going to answer major questions here: I'm a college kid. I live alone and have a small fridge. I shop at Walmart with coupons and that's how I managed to fill my fridge on $100. I have AEP and the power was on for a bit before it went back off (not enough time for the fridge to get cold again) so I assumed I was okay. Apparently it was a "test run" I borrowed coolers from family and got some ice. I just moved here a few weeks ago and haven't met many new people so I'm stuck at my house. Thank you for the well wishes and crossing my fingers that it's back sooner than anticipated!

34, that comment brightened my night. Which is more than I can say about AEP...

FMLs have taught me that when the power goes off, you do not do the following: A) buy $100 worth of food because your power will likely go off when you come back home B) have a feast with your neighbors using up all your food to prevent spoiling, because the power is likely to come back on while you're doing this. Or you can start a feast with the $100 worth of food to turn the power back on, and then cancel the feast and store your food! Twisted logic.

Im from ohio and was affected by the same storms a and got mine back a week ago

Invest in a generator, and some fuel.

OP is from Ohio, like I am, where we've been dealing with power being off & on, after a big storm the end of June with hurricane like winds... OP did the wrong thing tho, should have waited until power was back on for a couple of days... smh
