Maybe the upside-down hydra trees are a Los Angeles thing.
I guess they just aren't in my neighborhood. But LA is a very big city.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
I saw the most hideous Christmas deocration EVER at TJ Maxx, I wish I'd had a camera.
Picture a fake palm tree with that garlandy fuzzy stuff. Now picture one with metallic silver palm fronds and an electric green trunk.
With twinkling lights.
Nothing was as hideous as that.
If I have a decorating pet peeve it has to be the half assed lights. The lights that are only on one branch or only go up part of the way.
Also, I'm posting this from my new laptop! He's name is McKay.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
My decorating pet peeve is people who leave the decorations up for months after the holidays. Really annoys me.

not your mom's socks.
Really annoys me.
and is devastatingly bad luck. Somewhere, I acquired the superstition that you're supposed to have your tree out of the house before New Year's. And that all of its minions are supposed to go with it.
I like lights. I hate blinky, strobe-ing, migraine inducing stuff. And roof setups that require their own power grid. Over top of a garage with a hybrid in it. Really, people.

Ha! I have this, too. I think I got it from my Dad.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy birthday, Daisy Jane!
JZ, I'm not technically around, being in Indiana for a funeral but that picture of Matilda killed me. I think Olivia wore that once. I'm thrilled she can wear it--and she looks adorable in it!
Decision-ma for you about the job stuff.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
sox is me. Blinky lights make me wanna puke, give me a headache, and go postal. Ack. Also, any decorations that make noise. That includes the buzz of an overloaded circuit or the constant drone of a generator to power too much junk. Plus I just don't get the inflatible stuff. But then again, I am a bit of a grinch when it comes to Xmas. JUST CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE PEOPLE!! Stop calling half that crap "Christian"
Oops. Sorry about the rant.

Hey. New board.
I bought pretty Winterthing lights today. Low-power, clear, totally non-blinky, inoffensive Winterthing lights. I'm excited to find a way to hang them.
