Today, our power went out due to some severe storms. My daughter, who is 18, asked me why the lights on the car still worked. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a power outage at my house, my 14-year-old brother was genuinely confused as to why our flashlights still worked if we had no electricity. FML
Today, I drove to a party after getting my car back from the shop. A thunderstorm started as I made my way there and upon arriving, the power went out. The guests decided to watch the storm from the front windows when someone mentioned how funny it would be if a tree fell on my car. Seconds later, one did. FML
Today, during a storm-related power failure, I jerry-rigged an inverter from my car to supply the essentials. In doing so, I managed to blow up the fridge, smoke and all. The power came back on 5 minutes later. FML
Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML
Today, I knew my wife and kid wouldn't be home until later, and I was excited to play video games and relax. The second I turned my computer on, the power went out. It came back on as my wife was pulling into the driveway. FML
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, I was at my grandparents' house, when the power went out. Even though we were supplied with candles and flashlights, we still had to stumble around in the darkness. They'd left both the candles and flashlights in the pitch black, unnavigable basement. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML

If she's that retarded she will become americas next president!

Hey now, I didn't vote for Obama, and from what I've heard, 3/4 of our military didn't vote for him either. Meaning, 1) John McCain should be president, and 2) many of the people we take advantage of (I.e. our servicemen and women), who made the United States the great country that it used to be, not only got screwed over in Iraq and Afghanistan, but here at home as well. I don't agree with the war, but I do believe that we SHOULD have a military presence in the Middle East. After all, THEY are the ones who control the price of oil, and who better to control them than men with guns pointed at the towels they wrap around their heads? Think about it.

I can take jokes just fine, however, I'm a proud American, unlike many of the people who happen to inhabit this country these days. I will stand for what my forefathers fought for and have so rigorously defended throughout the years. To me, sir, it's not a joke. It's an insult, and I will not take it lightly.

By the way, had I not used the website for entertainment purposes for the last 100+ comments, you wouldn't be reading what I've just written. Please, for the sake of the readers and for myself, let a sleeping dog lie and we can debate on an issue less important on another date. My quarrel, sir, is not with you, rather the hundreds of thousands of people who want to see harm brought to the nation which I call home, so step aside, and let me bear the cross that I know I will for these last few comments, and let me bear it with honor.

74- Not all people who "wrap towels around their head" are enemies. Think about that, bigot.

That conversation is dead and gone, my friend. I believe the moderators took care of that issue before it became a war of words. Not that I have anything against Muslims, just the ones who shoot at me and my friends.
