How many siblings do you have? What’s your birth order?
I’m number one, so yes, I am an only.
In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?
I’d rather be a passenger most of the time.
When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own?
In the event of lost power, Moo holds her flashlight so I can light the candles. Moo doesn’t let go of her flashlight when the power’s out. The Mister takes our flashlight and does manly things outside. (I dunno.) We own one flashlight. But we have them on our phones, too, so I guess we have three. I don’t know how many candles we have, more than a dozen.
List at least five of your favorite types of animals? (any animal to domestic to wild to marine life)
Ooh! FUN! Cats and dogs. Giraffes, sheep, chickadees. Fantail goldfish and manta rays and Beluga whales. Elephants, foxes, goats, red pandas, and squirrels.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
From last week I’m grateful for good friends, good food, good books, and long walks. This week is a full one: The boy one for stir-fry tonight, Taco Tuesday at our friends’ house, Thursday Moo has an art show, Sassy performs on Friday.
Cee’s Share Your World is a weekly feature and all are welcome to play along.
What’s going on in your world?

The question about candles + flashlights reminds me that we’re getting toward tornado season when power outages are a given. I’d better check our supply of both items, although now that phones have flashlights in them there’s always a light close at hand. [Or in hand, I guess.] Good safety reminder! Thank you.

Me too! I live on the side of the street that loses power less often, but it’s good to be prepared. You’re welcome, although it’s really Cee we should thank 🙂

Manly stuff LOL, like making sure there is no debris in the yard or big tree limbs hindering a pathway out of the driveway for our significant others :). Making sure nothing is hanging off the house, you know manly stuff!

Yea! Share Your World Monday. Today I am ready for it;after a couple of beers. I hope that doesn’t discount my answers.
I have 3 older and 1 younger.
I always have to drive.
Both. We have 3 flashlights and a whole bunch of candles. We are fortunate. We hardly ever have power outages. But when we do I prefer candles;so much more atmosphere than a flashlight.

For me, candles are the best part of power outages. ☺That, and the challenge to keep warm. Hanging blankets over doorways, boiling water on the stovetop, making a fire, etc. It’s like indoor camping to me, and I’m always disappointed if the power comes back too soon. I know, strange ?

With the back up battery that can charge my phone 4 times over, and the solar/crank powered emergency radio that picks up am/fm, and the NOAA AND shortwave radio stations that I can charge things with via usb, the headlamp, and the penlight that I carry on me (not to mention the floodlight that can light up a room that sits on my desk JIC,) one could argue that the “power” never really goes out by me…LOL
But yes. We go out to see that theres no downed power lines, no fires, no major debris in the driveway..and that the car isnt stuck under tree parts. 😛
And teh zombies..? I have an 8 foot privacy fence with plenty of extra wood. I can turn this place into a fortress in under an hour. LOL 😉
I have candles too..but for storms..I use them last. Good for cooking. Not much else. If I hafta use them, I usually just opt to nap instead..:P
You know how I roll. 😛 ;D

I saw this and HAD to say something. If you need to use that flash for long, or just want to conserve your battery, its sometimes better just to take a pic of a plain white piece of paper with your phone, and just use that instead of some app.
