'morning, all

8:25 am

Judi

Off I go. See y'all tomorrow!

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

morning, bun.

8:26 am

welki

sometimes, you feel like a bun ...

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

sometimes you don't

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i am fighting with the christmas tree, which won't light.

8:28 am

welki

some good news today. my daughter (a nurse) received her vaccine today and is now vaccinating her co-workers

8:29 am

welki

is it a pre-lit tree? or did you already hang the strings of lights?

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

great news! i am weighing whether or not to go to NJ for christmas

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. something is not right, and i need to figure it out before going with tree in hand to friend's house.

8:30 am

welki

you've worked so hard to stay healthy, why would risk it with a gathering?

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

it lights in section, they all olug into one another.

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

well, acording to some others, i have not worked at all.

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

when i say i shop less, they say really? you shopped that much before?

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

there would only be 5 or 6

8:32 am

welki

your choice, and i get that you'd like to visit (i would, too), but after nine months of this b.s., i'd think twice, or three times, or more

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

probably will. just from inertia.

8:34 am

welki

we have a 'law' that prohibits all social gatherings, inside and outside. how it'll be enforced is a mystery to me, unless we're supposed to rat on our neighbors

8:35 am

welki

i watched a video of some neighbors on a caroling hay-ride - not one mask, everyone all bunched together.

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i know... haz said their regulation is no more than three households can gather. after Christmas, the stricter regulations come back.

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

well i guess they figured being outside was safe.

8:38 am

welki

sure - singing at the top of their lungs, spewing their germs all over the place. and then, they'll go to a dinner and, a month later, wonder why everyone got sick (not necessarily with covid)

8:39 am

welki

people are sick and tired. i get it, i get it. but how are we supposed to move forward

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

my fear/peeve ? going to the store and there are people outside smoking. talk about speading pathogens...

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

if i can gag on the smoke with a mask...

8:41 am

welki

so, that begs the question, what did you do at all those concerts, with all that kush being passed around?

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

*rolls eyes*

8:42 am

welki

hehehe

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

what is wrong with this site? i need tomake the font large or the stats get all wonky. refresh doesn't help

8:43 am

welki

be back later, lots to do today. (reboot and try again)

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i will leave to fight with this tree. adieu.

9:06 am

sukee

All I need now is the U word

9:06 am

sukee

And I found it, fw

9:07 am

sukee

I admit I used the list for the last 5

9:26 am

MollyL

I have learned through the years to always have a bunch of boxes of extra tree lights on hand when putting up the tree. It never fails that one, or all the strands you have won't light.

9:52 am

MLFAN17

wow

9:54 am

mael

3 left, I really don't want to list today

10:36 am

amelu0218

before I put my lights away, I "wind" them up, then plug in again to make sure that strand works... If not, I'll tape a note to check bulbs next use... I can't even tell you how many bundles of lights I have in the attic with notes attached, lol. As inexpensive as they have become, easier to just trash and buy new, one would think I'd come to my senses and trash those that don't work... I just don't like sending stuff like that to the dump... we're running out of space in that arena without adding toss/replace items...

10:43 am

MollyL

If you do a Google search on how to recycle christmas lights that don't work, you will find some options for what to do with those old strands.

10:49 am

gemini_J13

we have a place close by that recycles electronics,,, I have given them numerous Christmas tree lights

10:52 am

Gadget
