Sorry about your frustration Wilda,
#1 Rule.....Plug in and test before you put them up. If they are continuous lights then one is probably burnt out. Or it could be a blown fuse. In the plug there is a little box area to pop out. There will be alittle extra fuse that comes with the lights.

Help with stepson
by caligirl ini started this post under kids and parenting, then i realized that not nearly as many people look under there, so i put it here also.. my stepson lives with his "witness" mother.
he is early teens, and recently baptized (he tells us it is because other kids his age did it) he has heard my son talk about holidays and had no qualms accepting christmas gifts from my family last year.
i think he knows that we are fully "out", though the subject has never been discussed.

Well, I think if life would be a nightmare if he were disfellowshipped at this time, then as loving parents I would say you need to do what you have to, to protect him from disfellowshipping offenses. As much as I longed for Christmas as a kid, I understand what you want to give him. But for what ever reason he got baptized, he did and will have to live with the consequences until he can walk away. He is doing what was expected of him by two parents who brought him into this world as a JW. Things changed and all of a sudden the rules change and he is in the middle of totally oppossing sides. I'm beginning to feel sorry for this little guy. I can see why you want to bring childhood joy to his life, he needs it. But don't rock his little religious boat anymore then you need to right now. He also does not have the emotional know how to play the we're good, she's bad game (please no offense, it's normal in divorces) But since you do not have custody, can not afford to fight for custody don't put him in so much pain by seeing what he can't have, at this time (which is probably why he cries when he leaves, he is being sent back to prison). Love him, support him & assure him of your love. Scully's idea of seasonal decorations was a good comprimise and maybe you could take him to the store and let him pick out some (presents). You can be festive with out being totally obvious. Protect him from the battles he has no weapons for. Just my opinion.

Maybe.....................You're a really good driver!! Congrates! Your insurance company loves you.
I've been in a few small ones where some one else was driving. I have only been the cause of one where I skidded in the back end of a Saturn with a Cavelier. Far more damage to my car (front end was all plastic) Her car had two scratches on the bumper, but it did compress her bumper. I had plenty of room to stop but just skidded on dry road. I felt so bad for her, she was a nurse who had just worked all night with the flu and couldn't wait to get home and go to sleep.
To add to the question, do men react differant then women in a wreck? I was crying and we were hugging making sure each other was okay.

Wow............What a dilema. I totally see both sides and they weigh equally. There is alot to lose. Usually when things are so close it helps to make a list of pro's and con's. I helps you to see things a little clearer, what appears to be equal may not be so much when written side by side. When all else fails I flip a coin and stand by that decission.
Is it possible to not do things until he comes. Before he goes to your house take him out to eat or something and have a talk with him. Kids are pretty smart. Let him know your dilema in an age appropriate level. Let him see all the sides and the problems that may arise. Let him know you respect him and his beliefs and you don't want him to be in the middle or feel he has to hide anything or be interrigated (because that would cause things to be severed), or leave him with a conscience he can't live with. (May be you could have a Conscience Christmas, witnesses do it all the time, have as much Christmas as he can live with and not spill the beans. I think you said he is a dedicated baptized witness, he has much to lose also) If after hearing the different sides he wants to go for it, then you have some family fun putting Christmas together. If he can't then there will be other Christmases (I know you are excited to get on with life, but you do have much to lose right now, is it worth it? would next year be easier?)
I repeat, Wow ............What a dilema. Good Luck.

Prisca,
By the time a model gets so old if it hasn't been "pre-loved" then that model must have had some serious defects to start with. I have been told that "Factory Reconditioned" is as good as new.
