The fridge was still off, as I had turned off the breaker, since the door was open. Will restart and reload it shortly and put in a bucket of the remaining ice to help it along.
It will take a day or two for my jaw muscles to relax.

HURRAH!!! I am so happy for you, Khan.

If you'd posted that on eHarmony or Craigslist then you'd have plenty of proposals to occupy your time! So I guess it's good that you have your power back on...

When I'm severely stressed I want either food or sex; I lost 80 pounds of fat after I retired (and 'destressed'). I'll leave it to someone else do the math in calorie equivalents.

So "screwing your brains out" is ok, but we must block out ass... 
Maybe the emergency kit should contain extra batteries for those personal appliances!
