Since Cher is off the grid and having a lot of FWP, she asked that I pass along the following to her boards: "Cher is living in the 1820’s for the week but wants to direct your attention to the boardwide discussion."
Basically, in case you've been living under a rock, there's a site-wide discussion going on right now. It's the giant ass thread pinned at the top. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I’m always a big lost with these type of things. Besides lurking on the odd thread on gd (mostly birth announcements/labour threads, I’m a sucker for squish pic and birth stories) I only go here... Plus Cher sooooo not a fwp, a week without power 😳!!!

Fwiw, guster, I don’t believe ConEd and think they’re full of shit and it could easily go through the weekend. So we have someone coming on Thursday to give us an estimate for a generator.

Man Cher that sucks. It's like you're being forced to camp and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I really hope it starts working again soon. The last time I lost power for just a few hours I felt like I was in the dark ages.

That's what I'm hearing from almost every one (local moms groups included). My bff's lines are underground and she's been out since Saturday. The estimate just keep moving 12 hours later every day. Our lines are underground too, so I always thought I was safe, but I'll be running to the grocery store with all of the others to stock up on water and anything else to get us through tomorrow's storm in case we lose power, too.

That sucks so bad Cher. I’m sorry. I hope they get it together and it stays up during this next (shit) storm.
