Alright ladies, let's get this going. New board, same old shit.

[bliz1712]

I HATE Sam Smith and his songs. They make me want to stab myself in the eye. I change the channel immediately.

Also, although I don't agree with what TB did, I don't like moving over here. I'm a creature of habit and hate changing something that is this important in my life

WHAT? You don't like Sam Smith? He could sing to me every day. KDWB must be driving you nuts then.

And agree to your second point. Neither place feels like home right now and I don't like it. However, I will go wherever my laides go.

While I am not a fan of putting up Christmas lights before Thanksgiving, I really wish that more people would keep them up on the exterior of their homes until at least the end of January (maybe even longer). Living in a cold, dark by 4:45pm place the lights add some "brightness" and "happiness" (at least to me) to an otherwise dreary, bleak, cold, and miserable time of year.

I still listen to them, but only the morning show.  And they talk enough that they don't play a lot of songs.  When their show is done I play a replay show of a NY station and then listen to the replay of their morning show.  I tend to like to listen to more talk when I'm working.  Otherwise I'd sing at my desk!

Well you will love our house since ours are still up. But with Andrew in the hospital we didn't have time to take them down. And now it's just too cold...

Agreed. Riley loved looking at all the lights on the way home and now there are barely any left. It's supposed to be warm this weekend so we'll be taking ours down too.

Nooo I love him! Partly because he's out and proud. You're all shocked. 

[xanthepants]

Although I hate change as well, I think this new format looks more legit on my work computer so I don't look like I'm surfing all the time. HA! But I'm annoyed that I have to learn how to do a bunch of things over again.
Who is Sam Smith?

[jennmm]

Not sure about this new board thing. We shall see.

I take it you don't listen to KDWB then?

We moved the tree lights to D's room. Happy, bright nightlight!

Oh NOOOO!!  Get those suckers down after New Years!

[junkytrunk]

We actually saw a few lights on last night and M said "ooooh" as we drove by them. I would love it if it were socially acceptable to keep them running all year long. They are pretty to look at. Only problem is our electric bill nearly doubles each December because we go a little nuts with the lights. ?

Ha!  I should mention that we don't even put any up...I just like looking at everyone else's lights

[pegleg715]

I agree about the Christmas lights. They're more of a winter thing anyway. I say through January is good. Ours are still up and will probably stay up year round (only on from dec 1-jan31).

This might be a confession. But I had to google Sam smith.

[lainikins]

Our Christmas lights are still up. It is too cold to take them down. We have stopped turning them on though. I have no idea who Sam Smith is or what KDWB is.

[somethingcleverer]

Our neighborhood seems to decorate for every holiday. Heart lights will be up soon and St Patrick's day is huge around here. It's not as many as Christmas lights but enough to be festive.

KDWB is a local radio station, so you aren't out of the loop not knowing what it is.  Summergirl and xanthe and us are in the same area so we recognize it.

Joey LOVES seeing all the lights, she gets excited whenever we pass a house with them on and yells out "Ooh, Pretty Christmas!"  or "Big Christmas Tree Mommy!"  I think it's adorable, and would be fine with them staying up until the end of the month... otherwise our dark drive home is a mess of "light on mommy, too dark, light on!!!!"  Which I can only take so much of.

Yes! This looks more similar to our software at work color-wise. Minus the occasional siggy, it looks super legit.


I googled Sam Smith and think he looks like a wanna-be vampire.

Other than the occasional siggy it looks like my HR reporting software.  Now I don't have to furiously Alt + Tab anytime someone pops into my office

[ladyofshallott86]

Though I generally dislike change I, finding myself liking this new board much better for many reasons. Also I'm thoroughly sick of tb's shit. I actually hope we stay over here.

[cbear]

I kind of like this too. I was having to sign in/out all the freaking time on TB, the siggys were a PIA and i could never get a gif to work!

However, End of the day I'm fine with either-- but I do think we should decide which one to be using so there's no back and forth..

[jfresh]

I also really like it here. It's easier to move around the site and the app is nice. In a few weeks we'll all be ocmpletely used to the format.

I agree, after the minor changes to TB a while back people hated them, but we all got used to it. I'd be happy if we all just chose one place to live, and I'm fine with it being here.
