We have an unlit phony tree. Had it for decades. We have 140 running feet of lights that have never ever tangled be they the outdoors one or indoors. I take them off each year with more than enough time to fold them each and zip tie each one. It all fits in the ‘light’ box for storage. Sometimes being an*l is a gift.
In Canada our Thanksgiving comes a bit earlier but between the US and Canada I mostly think about how fortunate We are. we have a nice home. Not large but all ours. We have our health again. 2020 to 2023 we really hard on my body having been cut open three times. Yes, i appreciate universal health care. That said I have contributed 10’s of thousands of dollars to it. We have food in the pantry and are able to donate money to those in need through two local organizations who are able to get most of the donations out into the streets. Our kids are hard working tax paying citizens. What more could we want? OKAY a 63 Corvette would be so cool, but unnecessary. Not sure I could get back out of one.
I have an acquaintance who has spent her whole life (50 years) observing dogs and their owners. She has kept immaculate notes on virtually every reaction a dog could have with an owner. She will tell you why your dog reacts as it does. She charges 125 dollars an hour as a professional dog psychologist. i also know it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get an appointment. She has hit her pinnacle. I believe she graduates from the PT Barnum school of flimflammery.
