Yup. I remember that. It’s happened before, and it will 100% happen again. We just got fucked because of the lack of symptoms for a few days. It really tested the individual’s capacity to sacrifice normal activity because they feel fine right now. It turned out a whole bunch of people I thought were decent folks were only decent until they were inconvenienced.

Can't be bank size. The two failed banks last week total a third of a trillion dollars which is the size of the largest failed bank (washington Mutual) in 2008. Those 3 banks massively dwarf all other failed banks where they barely rank in comparison.

4% margin of error means that potentially 7% of people still haven’t taken down their decorations

I'd love it if more people left their lights up through January. It's so dark in the winter.

That's what I did. I learned inflatables can get frozen and ripped with ice/snow. But lights look amazing in the snow, leave them up!

When I can do it without freezing my fingers off.

Cute!! It’s amazing what a little light and color can do to affect your well being :)

I'd totally leave my Halloween decorations up until the grass needed to be mowed if I could. They are fun and I like them.

I tried to link to them but automod removed it because Amazon does short links apparently. Here's a pic from my Amazon (unfortunately it doesnt show all the lights, just the shamrocks and purple flowers), and what I originally wrote:

I got them from Amazon. I don't like buying from them but I live in a place that doesn't really sell any fun stuff like that. I don't think I paid more than like $12 for any of them, but usually less than $10 (I only buy on sale).

I don't put up decorations. Problem solved.

That sounds so cute! Mine aren’t that fancy, they just have a remote that can change the color. I’d love to see pictures of yours!

This is what I do! My old office had a white light curtain behind my desk, but I moved offices last summer and couldn't do that in my new one, so I got some command hooks, lined my office shelving with them, and now have lights for every month.

Feb lights: red and pink twinkles

March lights: little green shamrocks

April lights: pink and purple flowers

Same. Everything comes down but the lights because they make me happy. I've fell back into a depressive funk at the start of this year though and didn't end up taking them down until yesterday :(

I normally take them down by Groundhog's Day though.

Its bold of you to presume they are ever coming down

Lol, I literally can’t take down the Christmas lights wrapped around our trees outside cuz the cords are buried under three feet of snow. I’ve wanted to since January.

The first day I'm not at work, it's dry outside and above freezing.

New here?
