We had no power in our home.
That's called living deep in the country.
Smallest gust of wind and the power lines are out for a week. (ノT＿T)ノ︵┻━┻
No no, there was actually no power at all. Like no power lines and we had lanterns. Lol
We also had lanterns and candles and shit, because the power was just that unstable and unreliable. 90% of the time we were ruffing it like the Amish; pumping our own water, shitting in the woods, the works. At one point we lost power for an entire year because of some sort of tragedy I can't remember the details of, and after nagging him that entire time, finally my step-father was like "fuck this shit, we're getting a generator". That was ~7-10 years worth of my child hood. 😅 The fucking bees & snakes and shit too. (⊙_◎) Just that dirt poor deep country side experience.
Damn, sounds like my life. Bet it made you a tough mother fucker, didn't it? I personally I appreciate the shit I went through now. I can basically live anywhere with no issue. Life is hardly ever "tough" for me anymore. Lol.
You bet, I still got scars on my hands from hauling water & chopping fire word. Shit, one time I got bit by a non deadly venomous snake when I was ~7, boy did that ever hurt like hell. Had to get a rabies shot after handling some raccoons when I was about 12 too, I'm sure you know all about that shot. Got a bunch of burns from the furnace and sparks jumping from camp fires. Hauling coal is one hell of a chore too. 😅 And so much more. Life in the city is childs play in comparison, all you gotta do is avoid trouble best you can and you'll be fine.
Man, this is awesome to read. I'm going down the memory lane because of this. 😂
