Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights.
Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL lights, just the fake led
lights. I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot,
and Target. All I could find was the fake led lights.

So, I bought a set of led lights strings with C7 led lights. 50
lights on a string, total wattage of 3.7 watts. They say these are
much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. But, I have seen that
you get what you pay for. These lights are dull and weak looking.

Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside Christmas
lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?

Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when some kid
in Nigeria is starving .

The ONLY reason some kid in Nigeria is starving is because its moron
mommy didn't have the sense to keep her legs closed.

I'm not a big fan of the behavior of some of our African cousins but I'd
like to point out that mommy was probably forcibly raped.

TDD

There is another kind of rape?

Um, drunk, intimidation, hostage syndrome, too young to understand or
mentally impaired come to mind. It's wrong anyway one looks at it,
especially if it involves children.

...sleep, drugs, or other physical impairment.

I don't understand any adult who
would harm a child in any way although children are a good source of
high quality protein, the toes are the crunchy part. :-)

...and I thought you liked finger food.

My friend GB has a granddaughter who had her first birthday September
11, I don't believe I'll forget her birthday. I've known the munchkin's
mother since she was a little girl and I used to chase her around
threatening to unscrew her bellybutton so her behind would fall off.
Little kids are fun to terrorize. :-)

I do the same with little ones. The other thing that they like is being
picked up "by their ears" (they bend their forearms over yours).

I had a four year old buddy I did that with, I would clamp my hands over
his ears and he would hook his hands over my forearms and I
would pick him up.

It's less obvious when they use their forearms rather than hands.

His psychotic aunt saw this and ran to the
grandmother jabbering that I was picking up the kid by his ears.

Probably a Democrat.

I
adore little kids and it's unfortunate that there are filthy minded
people out there who think the worst when I tell them that I love
little children. :-)

I'd be the last one to think that you were a priest. ;-)

My older brother attended a seminary where he studied to become a
priest. Puberty changed his mind, hormones are stronger than God. :-)
