12/15 - Throwback Thursday!

[hyway]

All of my shrugs are as wholehearted as any shrug possibly can be.

you shrug your heart? thats cold blooded

Sometimes I wish I could shrug it off.

Yeah, sometimes if they don't connect tightly in general, it's hard. We have one that gave us a little trouble right now, because for whatever reason, it won't plug into the extension cord straight, so it sits in there at an angle. So I just balled electrical tape around it as well as I could.

Edit. Ugh. I have no brain right now.

Last weekend it was out due to rain, so I redid all connections and wrapped tape around ALL of the plugs. I even ditched one strand that was acting up no matter what.

Tonight? Same area is out again. I'm about ready to pay my contractor to switch my plug out to a normal outdoor plug without the damn gfi. Pissing me off. I don't spend 20 hours setting up lights only to have a little moisture stop them from lighting up!

That is a hell of a name, she could be either a requester or a Spanish conquistador.

Obviously, the requester is the reincarnation of Ponce de León. I'm surprised the survey wasn't about the Fountain of Youth.

Did you use electrical tape to close off any exposed female ends? Very important.

Nah, interior lights.

I don't have exterior lights on strings. Just this: https://www.amazon.com/1byone-Christmas-Projector-Landscape-Decoration/dp/B01EV4OGAU/

How do you like that? I almost couldn't do lights this year and I was thinking about it. my neighbor has one, but it didn't seem bright enough to me. I'm also worried about theft since I know at least three people who have had them stolen.

I like it! There are a lot of different models/versions out there and some are definitely brighter than others. The front of my house is small (it's a bungalow) so it covers it just fine. If I had a two story house or something, then it definitely wouldn't be bright enough. Fortunately we haven't had any thefts around here. This is the second year I've had it out and so far, so good.

Take a note of this

Sometimes I wish I could shrug it off.

Cause the turkers gonna turk, turk, turk, turk, turk
And the requersters gonna reject, reject, reject, reject, reject
Baby, I'm just gonna shrug, shrug, shrug, shrug, shrug
I shrug it off, I shrug it off

That is horrible. My gosh people will just steal anything!

I'm definitely going to consider it for next year, then, even if only to enhance whatever else is up. I just live in a small ranch-style:

The lights are sloppy this year because we were really hasty putting them up since they almost didn't happen. But if we did lights, do you think it would work in combination, or would the actual lights drown out the projector lights?

You gonna stand for this @Liz ?

My neighbor has both and the actual lights drown out the projector lights. :/ You could do actual string lights over on the side of the house with the window and door, and have the projector just on the garage!

Even babies!

shhhhhhh no one here would ever steal a baby

what the hell is all that white stuff? Did the tide come in high and bring a lot of sand with it?

Ooh, yeah! I didn't even think about that, but I like the idea a lot!

That emoji cracks me up, it looks like its concentrating SO hard on writing, trying to do a good job. And the pencil is the size of its entire body, it doesn't make any sense!

I really should get some sleep.

 

[Jaded]

I was supposed to get some >.> 'presents' <.< for you tonight but it got cancelled.
