I am happy with Georgia’s non-stick flurries and gone by the next day snow apocalypses. lol Let us bow our head and say a little prayer for our fellow Southerners who didn't make it to the store for extra bread and milk. May God have mercy on them as they ride out the big storm.

November 21, 20223 yr 🤣 @Boo I haven’t been caught without bread and milk yet! Full tank of gas too! Preparedness! BaHaHaHa @jillar I loved it when school was cancelled because of snow. It was a very rare occurrence growing up though and we always had to make the day/days up at the end of the school year. 😬Now they are figured into the schedule ahead of time. However that works. Must be some of that new Math. 🧐
November 21, 20223 yr Oh !!!.... The whole of the UK...would come to a stand still with that flurry....😀
November 21, 20223 yr Wee Teddy just got neutered, pic below today and two months ago when angel got dressed. Guys hold your breath but one of teddy's balls was in his abdomen hence he has to wear the lady jacket lol
November 24, 20223 yr So, I didn't violate my own rule about no Christmas decorations going up until after Thanksgiving. I simply got out in front of things a little bit. Tested all the lights and went ahead and hung them up today. Pulled out the other outside decorations and have them laid out in the garage. I brought down the storage containers with all of the inside decorations in them. We'll take an early morning trip to the Christmas Tree farm on Friday morning and set the whole thing in motion. Operation Winter Wonderland is a go.
November 25, 20223 yr Author Take tsk tsk....wots the point of rules if ya just gunna break em. No Christmas music tol 1 Dec....I'm itching

Then hung the lights up. Did not light them up on the house until this evening. The potential for the lights to be decorative was there, but not fulfilled until the time was right. "A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish."

It could be argued that you made a rule not to put up any Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. Therefore lit up or not they were put up and that is clearly a violation of your own rule. Furthermore, as to whether an unlit light is a decoration it would depend on if its seasonal or not right? So......😂😂 Edited November 26, 20223 yr by jillar

November 28, 20223 yr Author Um...so I'm supposed to be making chrissy presents for the kids teachers but NOPE...I'm debating if I do a poll about did Boo break his own rule on chrissy decos OR do I do a poll about when one should set up chrissy decos?.... when should they he taken down??? So in my family the tree should stay up until the epiphany BUT if you don't get it down by then it has to stay up all year or its bad luck.

You'll only wear yourself out trying. The folks that matter will understand if you sit one out from time-to-time. The folks who want to work you like a farm mule...f**k 'em, you don't need a lot of people like that in your life.
November 29, 20223 yr Boo says it well Sweetheart....your no good if you burn yourself out .... Saying No can be the hardest thing sometimes ....❤
