traipsing thru the treetops
Do you hang lights on the clover? Seems like it would be rather smallish.
Now that I'm home and have a real keyboard...fully edited, hopefully to your satisfaction @BCClone !

I miss the smell of a real tree as well. We switched over because of all the cats. Had to stop using icicles too. Glitter poop is strangely colorful, but you haven't lived until you have chased a cat around the house that has half of a strand of icicle hanging out of his butt...

C’mon KC, I was picturing you with a big planter of clover with lights and bulbs hanging on theM.

I miss having a real Xmas tree.. Loved the smell, and the nostalgia. Hated the dropped needles. Wife insisted we get an artificial one about 7 years ago.

My mom switched to a artificial tree a few yrs back, then she wanted to go back to a real one. Dad left the artificial fully assembled (put a bag over it to keep it dust free) and in the corner of the basement that way when she changes her mind again he wont have to buy a new artificial tree. (hopefully)

Overwhelmed right now. Anxiety and depression at all time high since my daughter moved back in with us. Need something to lighten my mood.

In the time honored tradition of CF the answer for this is hooker and blow. JK hope you and your famoily get doing better.

Verizon raised my monthly bill 5 bucks a phone. I’m supposed to have a locked in price but apparently they decided it wasn’t anymore so it went up.

A couple of years ago I bounced over to a cut rate carrier. They use the Verizon network

My bill after the phone is paid off and I get rid of the insurance will be about $50 unlimited

Maybe there's an opportunity to move from Verizon with your phone and jump on with one of the cheap guys

That sounds pretty reasonable considering.

You mining bitcoin or day trading over there?!?
Would be nice. Me, my wife, and 3 kids. Business expense, just incase I can’t be reached for an alarm call they van get my kids.

I don’t have a hotspot or data watch myself.

No, I'm a quiet guy and I can only handle socializing for so long. Not everything and everyone needs to be talked about. My aunt is like that. She could have a one sided conversation with you for 8 hours. At holidays, the time between her deciding to go home and actually going home is 2-3 hours.

Unofficial introvert here.

I can socialize up to a point and then it's time to get away from human contact to recharge.

I have family that are opposite; at gatherings they just need to keep going and going with getting together even if it's 4-5 days in a row where I'm done after about 1 or 2 days.

The three day rule for visits applies no matter who or where it is. If it's summer I can go for 4-5 days so long as I can get out for a solo day trip fishing or something similar.

I have a friend who had a mental health mess. He would call me daily since I was the only one who would listen. He didn’t talk, and I’m one who doesn’t talk if I don’t think there is anything worth to talk about or will lose interest in 2-3 minutes. So most days I had to ask him about the lunch he packed. It was a struggle
