Nope, older Gold Key Scooby Doo? Happy B'day, amigo! (thumbs u Happy Birthday! Doing anything special today?

I caught that too. Thought it was great. That's Episode 9.

I so wanna do this.

I've got some vintage ones for the 50's/60's. The colors blow modern bulbs away and they get hot. I mean molten lead hot. I remember my Dad's. Big screw in bulbs. Those are the kind that triple your electric bill. I grew up with these in the 70s. When I see lights like these, it's Christmas for me. They don't make them like that anymore. Yeah, those are the ones that would give you 3rd degree burn if you came in contact with them. They also give off a smell when they are lit. When I smell that combined with pine tree smell, it instantly transports me back to the early-mid 70's Yeah, the sense of smell is a strong memory trigger.

Dad had both. The ones with the powder and the ones with peeling paint on the outside.

Hey Pov, Just wanted to say that you do a great job here. (thumbs u I'm sure most would agree. Thanks for all your hard work.

Yeah, those are the ones that would give you 3rd degree burn if you came in contact with them. Those are the ones! They really put out the light. Nothing looks better around the perimeter of the roof. I must say, I'm a little tired of those all-white draping ones that are supposed to look like icicles or something. I like different colors. I also really like these for inside. I don't have one, but I remember them from my childhood.

It's horrible. I can't even process it.

Bought some multicolored LED Christmas lights. 4.5 Watts per string of 60, and they last almost forever. I think the lights are my favorite part of Christmas.

I know. Work deadlines, card mailing, present buying and wrapping, crowds, traffic, bad weather, stress, grumpy people. I wouldn't be surprised if a hundred years from now the CDC moves Christmas to the summer. It's a recipe for getting sick.

CG is so funny. 12 Birthday threads yesterday, 7 today, 8 tomorrow, etc. And of course the more popular threads don't go away in 24 hours, they hang around for days and sometimes weeks. With all the stickies, Page 1 only has room for 25 threads. No one reads Page 2, so CG has basically turned into the Birthday forum. Yet, this is what the majority seems to want. Oh well.

It's mayhem in CG right now. I necro'd a few birthday threads last night, then lizards2 did it, then Blowie did it with other threads, then Greggy started bumping all his birthday threads, now the mods are deleting some of Greggy's birthday threads.... Fun has returned to CG.

I had no idea people felt so strongly about them. We almost had a tar and feathering yesterday.

Blowie!

Cerberus! Exactly!

I don't dislike them. It's just that they get out of hand at times. It will get worse as we get more boardies every year.
