Insomnia Thread...

[Jananas Bananas]

EXACTLY! That's why I am replacing mine. I have very high electric bills in December. I have all my lights on timers so they come on at dusk and go off at sunrise - so they are on all night long.

I did find some really cute solar lights this year that are red and white candy cane striped. The light part was just the regular white, but I put some red cellophane down inside so I changed them to all red. It could work with any lights too, and cellophane comes in a lot of Christmassy colors. And they don't cost me anything to have on!

It's not really a warehouse store. ABC warehouse is just the name of it. It is like a BestBuy with lesser and more expensive stuff. They do have a large number of cameras and camcorders though. It's mostly house wares and large stuff. Like washers and stuff.

My Birthday is December Eleven, this Sunday. Gonna be 16

[Jananas Bananas]

Ahhh, Sweet Sixteen!

Here's a picture for you Jordan!



He was in my bathtub last night. Kind of late in the year, but I guess the weather has brought them roaming again. Had a couple of baby June bugs too that I forgot to get a picture of for the Critters thread!

Very cool

If I had stuff like that wild around here I would need for tanks to put them all in They would all be m,y pets

I have pictures of some water falls from around here and of a dam to post. Will get them posted soon

Didn't you tell me you had a pet Scorpion? Does it glow under a black light? These brown ones do. I think that is very interesting.

Wow, cool pic Janan!


My mom's birthday is Desember 9th. We're thinking of going to the theatre to see a play.


So I've been busy all weekend but hope to have more time this week.


I like LED lights too because they last so long. I must say though that I'm disappointed in their version of white because most of them either have a blue-ish or a yellow-ish hue...never a clean, clear, and crisp white.


I really enjoy those little battery operated light sets of 20 on a string. You can put them anywhere and they have built in timers of 18 hours off and 6 hours on. They come on each night at the same time and they last about three weeks before you have to change the batteries again.


I'll have to show you guys my mini poinsettia tomorrow. Too cute.


Yes Cam, the LED church is really great and they only had one left. It even has angels at the top of the church, blowing into trumpets. I'll show you guys soon.


Hope everyone has a great sleep. G'night.

I think that is what I really like about the LED white lights, the one with the bluish cast. It's very calming to me.

Are you going to bed or are you still up?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I said g'night but I'm still up.


I have insomnia bad these days. I got a guide for my iPad so I'm reading it now...

I have been hunting your Christmas thread to post in. I noticed after I found it just now that you must have had the same idea because now it is in the "new posts"!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah, I thought it might be time to post in the Christmas thread. I saw that tree tonight but the pics didn't do it justice. It was so pretty.

My son's birthday is the 6th. We all have a bunch of birthdays right now!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It just means more birthday cake!


Check out the post in the pet thread Janan. Nice Christmad display shot, by the way. I like how you put those lights in a jar!


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Guess I'm going to hit the hay. Suddenly my eyes have gotten so heavy I can't even hold them open.

Nite Nite!

We put up the LED lights that have the bluish glow. I really like them. I would be terrified if I saw a scorpion, the first time I saw one up close was at a friends house last year. It was in her kitchen sink lol

[Jananas Bananas]

Morning Cam! They are thick as thieves here in Central Texas. The drier it is the more you will see while they hunt for water. I had them in East Texas too though I didn't see nearly as many. That is typically the kind I find. This latest one was very large for that type at just shy of 4 inches. They are usually about 2 to 2 1/2 inches. I am surprised you haven't seen them around there though!

[Willow87]

Good morning Janan. There probably are some around here but I have been fortunate not to see any lol. I did find several snakes in my yard this year but they were the harmless variety. I've also seen some very big spiders. I found a pair in one of my pots, one was all red and the other one was purple and white.

Hi you guys!


Hope you're all having a great Monday. I'm just reading that iPad guide and thinking about what to make for dinner.


Jordan, what do you do if some of your stuff you bought in the app store or from iTunes, is lost? I can't retrieve some of my movies on my iPad and some of my mom's songs are lost on her iPod. Should we contact Apple and let them know?


Did you guys see my mini poinsettia?





It's only 6" tall...





Cute as a button.


: )

[jreidsma]

What do you mean "lost"? Are the items still on your itunes account on your computer?

If you mean they just disappeared from ipad and computer then a contact from apple would be a good idea. You will be lucky if you can get a hold of them though, I never can.

That is a very cute plant

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I see that they are on my computer but I gotta get them on my iPad now too.


Thanks about the plant. It's so tiny!


Ok I have the bulbs packed up. Now I'm doing the seeds. Likely bring everything to the post office by tomorrow. What will you guts grow under the bulbs?

That little poinsettia is a cutie patootie! Adorable.
