What flea said. It's like heteronormativity, but I don't know the term for religious-wise.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

OK, just logged on for the first time today. I don't feel uncomfortable with Christmas decorations in general. (I sometimes feel annoyed at them, but that's in the same way that, living around here, I sometimes feel annoyed at football -- it's something that I don't really care about, and it's impossible to avoid.) The decorations on my neighbors' houses are pretty, and that's as far as my opinion goes. The ones on my house make me uncomfortable, because it's where I live. It's the door with my mezuzah, the window with my menorah, the place where I sleep and eat and get away from the world. It is also the landlords' house, which is why I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong -- they are completely within their rights to decorate the outside of the house as they see fit. But having to live with it -- having all that stuff on the place that I usually think of as "mine," even though I realize it's technically not because I'm renting it -- does make me uncomfortable.

I was listening to the Knit 1 Geek 2 podcast and they mentioned the American-Duchess website - which I thought some buffistas may enjoy. (It's historical reproduction shows, people.)
Of course, those interested buffistas may know all about that store already.

So that's what clocked stockings are! I was picturing actual little clock faces.

Who, me? Why yes, I'm pre-ordering a pair of their reproduction button boots. And then browsing button hooks on eBay. (Button boots! Real ones, that don't zip up! Impractical, time-consuming footwear, yaaaaay!)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'd probably feel a bit more "um, really?" if she was doing this on my front porch, even if she owned the building
Even if she lived there?
The ones on my house make me uncomfortable
Is this a shared house? I mean, do they live there or just own it?

Very pretty. Sadly, they don't sell any flats.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Even if she lived there?
Yes. If I'm paying rent, I expect some say in things like religious iconography on the building I'm renting. I'd expect the owner to at least ask, whether it's Christmas decor, Jewish iconography, or Mithric dioramas.

Yes, these are shoes that I could never, ever wear.

They live there. It's two front doors going onto a shared front porch.

I figure that the outside of the house is theirs to do with what they want. They've got the decorations over the whole porch, but they only put wreaths on their door, not mine. If they'd put a wreath on my door, I probably would have talked to them about it. Stuff just on the porch, I don't think I have any say in it, but I don't think that I should have to justify my feelings if having to walk through it every day and look at it out my window makes me uncomfortable.
