"RE: Earth Hour 2009 " I remember looking for all the flashlights and refilling the oil lanterns, trimming wicks, etc. from when I was a kid. Getting ready for a big storm was so exciting. If tornadoes were a possibilitiy, we even got to put blankets in the bathtub. Now? We've got buried utility lines. I haven't lost power in years.

Buggy 5089 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-09, 00:31 AM (EST) 25. "RE: Things that go" We cheated. We mostly did it, I wanted to go all the way, but certain family members griped. I turned all the lights off, but Hubby kept the TV on in the bedroom ( " This is dumb, no one else is doing this!") Kiddo turned off her lights, but was doing a craft project so she opened her closet door a crack for a sliver of light ( Hello, the closet has an automatic light, if it's open it's on, if it's on, it's on ,it doesn't matter if you didn't open the door all the way. LAUGH) I tried to convince my family that they also had to be quiet since the lights were off, it made sense to me, but that didn't work out so well. We only had one injury. Hubby complained that he twisted his ankle in the dark, but I'm not buying it. He claims he was hurt because I turned off the lights, but he tripped in the bedroom where the tv was on, and he tripped over his own shoes that he left right in the middle of the floor, so it can't possibly be an Earth Hour incident. More of a dummy incident. All in all I discovered my family is a bunch of wusses, who can't survive an hour without lights and not complain the whole time. (I would have liked it more if I could have convinced them about the " quiet time " thing.) I was digging the vibe, the whole awareness thing. We all use so much more than we need, and just turning things off more often will make such a difference. I do have to give my family some props though, they do mostly shut off things not in use, and we never have lights on in rooms we aren't using. I love my best friend, but I go crazy at her house because they NEVER turn anything off, and I walk around shutting off lights the whole time I am there. In broad daylight, all the lights in every room are on all the time, makes me nuts!   Top

"RE: Things that go" Buggy, your post made me laugh. *hugs* We were out to dinner at a restaurant. I thought the restaurant might dim the lights or use candles on the table. But I looked at my watch at 9 pm and realized that they had done nothing. Business is business, I guess. Compliments of the Agmeister   Top

Buggy 5089 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-09, 02:51 AM (EST) 27. "RE: Things that go" It's all about money for businesses, and it should be. Besides, it's what, the second year of this? It'll be more known next year, and even more the year after. I think it's such a cool thing though, just making us aware of how much we use, and how much we could save. Hey, is my favorite Valencia resturant still there? Zeko's? I loved their salads and fried zucchini.   Top

You know, the really ancient places look better *without* the lights. The darkness adds a poignancy that's missing in all the bright, flashy lights. Case in point: The Acropolis in Athens. Breathtaking. Perpetual *headbutt* compliments of Rolly.   Top

PepeLePew13 26138 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-09, 10:15 AM (EST) 32. "RE: Earth Hour 2009 " That really is a great picture of the Acropolis and I agree with you that the classic sites definitely looks more authentic and better with the lights off. I'd have liked to see what the Colosseum looked like in person with the lights off. I posted this on my blog yesterday: We discussed this in my class on Thursday and a few of the learners suggested "why not make this a monthly event, instead of an annual event?" Good point. Why does this only have to be an annual event? Why not do this on a more regular basis to keep us grounded and constantly remind us to do all of the little things to make a difference in this world? Turn the lights off when you're leaving a room, leave your car idling a little less often, make sure there's a completely full load of laundry and dishes before starting their respective machines, use the BBQ to cook 3 things instead of the oven and two burners, walk to the grocery store a block away instead of driving over there, etc etc etc. Stinky Musings <--- blog's been updated!   Top

Only a few houses on my street participated or they weren't home to begin with. My sister thought her household would never agree to it-she didn't even ask. I'll mention it directly to the kids next time.   Top

northernlights 5058 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-09, 12:59 PM (EST) 36. "RE: Earth Hour 2009 " I had a very enjoyable Earth Hour/Night. Earlier in the day I went to a bar for a Jam Session with a friend and her husband. Her hubby often gets up and sings with the band and yesterday was no exception. When we got home we had some dinner and then as Earth Hour approached we lit candles and turned off lights and pulled out the guitars. We played and sang for about 4 hours by candlelight. Almost as good as a campfire but not quite. My fingertips are throbbing this morning. It's been a long time since I've played and the fingers had gone soft. It even hurts to type!   Top

dragonflies 8051 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-09, 04:10 PM (EST) 37. "RE: Earth Hour 2009 " We participated, at the prodding of DD. She had a friend over, and they were all excited. After lighting several (ok, 35) candles, we went around the house and unplugged all the night lights, turned off all the lights and computers. We talked about what we would need to do to really eliminate all electricity, which wasn't realistic. I wanted it to be a teaching moment on how much we do rely on electricity. Then the girls played card games and a couple of other games, and ended the hour in DD's room telling stories. I read a book by candlelight. Had to find a candle holder bright enough. Never thought of the bath by candlelight, but I do that semi regularly anyway. DS grumbled about not playing on the computer, so he texted nearly the entire hour. DH even turned off our coach lights outside. We think a couple of others in our neighborhood participated, but none remembered their coach lights outside.   Top

sharnina 3083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-29-09, 05:04 PM (EST) 38. "RE: Earth Hour 2009 " LAST EDITED ON 03-29-09 AT 05:04 PM (EST) We had a lovely Earth hour. We used flash lights and our camping lantern (battery operated). First, we went to dinner and visited Build-A-Bear so we could use some coupons that were expiring soon. After we came home, the girls got ready for bed and I put on my new nightgown. We all snuggled down in the living room and the girls played with their bears. They also folded their laundry - Robin showed her bears how to fold clothes. I read for a while and DH laid on the couch and snored some. After a while I read a children's version of A Midsummer's Night Dream to the family - voices and all - and then it was time for bed. All in all, it was about an hour and forty-five minutes. DH and I watched the news for a bit and then headed of to bed. It was fun and we may do it more often than once a year. Love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. 1 Peter 4:8 (The Message) Shar's World   Top
