I offered to help out here lol...

Right on.

Bigger hammer to fix that?

Win or not I love coming here and seeing all these threads active. This is as close to social media as I get, no FB, Snapchat, Twitter or any of that other stuff for me.

I like the separate one also. It makes it easier to determine what I'm looking at and find threads that I want to participate instead of looking through a ton of them all at once.

But..but...but....but....... It's all dead according to the papers.

I won't be driving one. Had a truck up until last year now have a big SUV and my wife is STILL trying to get her even bigger SUV. Dealers are much like stores with their online shopping. It isn't yours until it's shipped lol.

Ya I have an order from BestBuy purchased within minutes of the item going up for sale that's still in Pending so none of them are a sure thing.

Put the real tree up last night. Waiting until tonight for it to fill back out from being tied up. Will turn and decorate it tonight most likely.

Had some bad luck with mine. Wanted to put it in the new case yesterday and get it ready to put up but the case is too small for the controller the switches and the plugs. Grrrrrrr

So I was wondering how other decorate their outside for the holidays. Anyone get real extravagant with the decorations? I am working on a sequenced light show. Got the last part I need for this year the other day. Now I just need to mount the computer and such inside and get it all setup to go. If anyone has any pictures or anything please post them up. If I actually get mine up this year I will take some and post them also.

I think the same, stop trying to make it the entire week just take the store openings to Friday with the sales starting on Friday. You will get people in the stores and online all the same. Many people are with family and don't want to take that time away. I know I don't.

I love the smell of a real tree We have some of those Scenticles things that hang on the fake ones but they aren't the same.

Nothing wrong with that attitude. I don't think they should get anything for free.

We started our dealing last Wednesday (day before turkey day) and are still working on it. Car we wanted turned out to already be sold, so we had to pick another car out and so forth. HOPEFULLY we can get everything worked out in the next day or so and be done with this. Nice thing is we are doing it all online so we aren't spending needless hours in the dealer with people pretending to haggle and actually probably talking about sports scores lol.

We usually have 2-4 Trees in the house (one is a small on in ours or our daughters room). All the trees have different themes. We try to buy a lot of hand made ornaments for our main tree. One year we will get to the point where it's decorated with ONLY hand made ornaments.

We went and hunted Fraser Fir's yesterday. Should be going up this afternoon or this evening at the latest. Other tree is already up and decorated. DW and DD did it last Wednesday. Started a FEW decorations outside on Saturday. Need to get my lighting system tested and setup but not sure how much time I will have for that.

That sucks but at least you had a good time and got to eat them the first time around. We have a ton of leftovers in our fridge and have been eating them all weekend. Soon I will not eat another bite of turkey for another year lol.

My wife has a cold, woke up yesterday morning not feeling well. I was telling a friend of mine earlier today that I wish I had taken today off so I could just chill out and recover from all the REALLY long days lately lol.

But gramps used to say opinions are like butt's everyone has them and most of them stink. I don't live me life or do the things I do based on others opinions as you said do what you need to do to keep her safe and the rest can take a long walk off a short pier.

I have to say this is a year where we had a pretty good balance of things bought online and in store. None of the stores where busy at all when we got to them. We actually have shopped off and on in store and online all long weekend and will continue to do so today. Still need to get our daughters 1 big gift for her.

Or they can stay all year and talk with those of us who are around here.

Bummed I didn't get to make it. Ended up out hunting Fraser Fir's to chop down and display in our living room

Eh I take all good and bad reviews with a grain of salt. Different people have different opinions on things. Our daughter wants one so we got her one. Hopefully she enjoys it.

Wow that really sucks. Did you file a report with the police in the area that they had the stuff shipped to? I'm sure it's some sort of sham address or something but might do some good if someone gets busted for it. I would love to put together a band of ninja hackers and hack the hackers and bust a huge lot of them.
