Having a great Christmas. Spent time with people we never see for Christmas. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

Merry Christmas all

I’ve read an article on Big Lots yesterday. I think their issue is their stores are old and run down (on a lot like Kmart during their demise) and their prices have gone up a lot. Two things that don’t make for a good discount shopping experience.

Dog probably thinks it’s a replacement lol

I don’t fully know why but it’s been a weird Christmas season for me. I just can’t really get into it this year. Which is very unusual for me. I have nothing wrapped, still have some presents to buy. Will most likely end up finishing those this weekend and try to get things wrapped up.

Don’t tempt them or they may start the day after Christmas.

Congratulations to both of you

We mostly decorated our main tree last night. Trying to figure out what box the angle is still packed in so I can get that out.

They say Challenge Accepted

Have you tried those candle warmer things? Supposedly a safer alternative for traditional candles than lighting them. We use Wax Melts.

Very nice. So festive. Ya dogs can be weird about the strangest things

So let’s see some more Christmas decorations. We have almost nothing done at our house right now. Between moving, somewhat unpacking and our daughter’s massive play schedule (she has roles in 3 different plays) coupled with company in town for her opening night of A Christmas Carol it’s been so hectic. We are hoping to get some stuff up outside tonight. I had to replace the GFCI out front Saturday because we had no power. So I’m excited to see what all of you have done.

Most of the time now you set them side by side. You will take a picture of a special screen on the new one from the old one and then it will transfer everything over. Apple has made it very simple nowadays.

Oh no so sorry to hear about that. Praying for a speedy recovery for both of you.

I don’t think Walmart had one last year. Not a fan of their new style with a ton of vendors I won’t order from. If I want an Amazon experience I’ll shop on Amazon.

Nah I’ll screw that up for a month or so

Can’t believe the year is almost over.

Kohls in the same parking lot as Target seemed to be pretty busy. I avoid them though so I’m not sure how busy they actually were. Home Depot across the street looked busy. We didn’t go by Lowe’s as we already got what we wanted there. Was going to go to BJs but the one thing I wanted from them (Ring Spotlight Cam with Solar Panel was sold out online and in our store.

It’s possible the deals are different in different states. This happens with like Krogers often.

We didn’t go out till 8am, no lines and didn’t really want anything so I guess we got more than we wanted. Target, Walmart local Antique store. Everything else is online.

Happy thanksgiving all

Mine says upcoming payment $19.99 on 07/19/25. Will see if they actually do it or not.

We have some gifts purchased, some on order, some in cart waiting to be ordered. Ordered a Dyson Air Wrap for my wife yesterday, ordered a couple things to go along with it. Will be ordering some things for family out of town soon and will get that sent out in the next couple of weeks.

No they are cloud based. One region goes down that traffic is instantly rerouted to another region. That said data centers have massive power generation systems that can last days to weeks generating more than enough power to keep the DC online.

Only issue I've really had in the last years was our 75" TCL that died. Wasn't really it's fault though bad storms caused electrical issues while we were out of town. Took out the controller boards. Will replace them at some point. Went and got the Hisense (3rd one we have now). All have been excellent TV's the oldest one we have is like 4 years old and works like new still, outlasted our LG that died after 3 years lol.
