as they count down from 5, at 3 theres just some white flashing lights all over the tree then at 1 they stop, and 0 all the color LEDs come on and then a second later the big star lights up. it'll stay lit until jan 7th I think. I don't think it ever turns off from now until that day.

My fingers are itching and it is so hard to keep from rubbing them. I had to dig up this little spot in one of the tortoises pens and never thought about bringing my gloves with me. As I was moving the dirt around, I realized the weed plant I had in my hand to toss in the garbage was a stinging nettle. The entire area was actually filled with them. Well they let me know how happy they were with being killed off, by stinging me.
I think im pretty much immune to them now....
When i was a wee boy....I fell into a field full of them face first i was 10 i fell off a wall......then i got stung all over the face,legs,hands and then i rolled and got them on my back......
Now i pick them up bare-handed and i get stings but it does not bother me in the slightest i forget about it.....
Get a Dock leaf! ! !
Morning TFO 1st December!
Chocolate=eaten
Decorations up today!
mum starts tree at 10am and finishes messing with it at 10pm takes it down and puts it back up x10 times! Our decorations are black and silver this year!
My things of ebay are due today!
Good Morning TFO!!!
Ty, I wish Josh could be immune, but the only immunity he has found is to leave those areas for Mom to do (or atleast the thick areas of nettles). For me with the poison ivy, I still manage to end up with the juice on my hands and then I must rub my face accidentally to get hair out of my eyes, and thus spread it to the face. Then I end up with my eyes at times almost to the point of being swollen shut.
So Ty, you guys get new decorations each year to make it a certain color pattern?

Good morning/afternoon/evening!
I don't think we have stinging nettles in our yard, and I am glad of it after hearing your experiences!
Ty, your Xmas tree sounds beautiful. We just use the same old decorations every year.
We are having clear weather for several days! Not warm enough for the torts (40's), but nice to be out in.

Thankyou.....
I'm sure your ponies will appreciate that....is it for your benefit or for theres!
Theirs, obviously! Duhhh... Ponies love getting all christmassy
Whew! Did I ever escape the big one!!
During the night I woke up to a terrible wind blowing outside. Terrible, awful, tree-limb breaking wind! I couldn't sleep, so I got up and read some of the threads here, then went back to bed. When I woke up this a.m. the power was out. Thank goodness it wasn't really that cold, but the wind was blowing like crazy. I had visions of calling my son-in-law to come help me round up all the tortoises and bring them inside by the wood stove. Then I thought, "no, you'll be doing it by yourself because when the power is out your cordless phone doesn't work." But because it really wasn't all that cold, I just let it be.
It came back on about a half hour ago.
Can you imagine those LARGE tortoises in front of my wood stove? In the first place, how would I even get the Aldabrans over their fence to bring them inside?
I've lived here for around 15 years. And in that time the power has gone off occasionally, but never for any length of time. I think the longest was about 6 hours. So I really don't think it would be worthwhile to buy a generator (can't afford it anyway). But I AM going to look into seeing if I can change out my solar system to the kind that still works when the power is out. I may be able to add that onto my existing loan.

So Ty is a lounge what would be equal to our front rooms? Where the couches and such are. Or is this a room for the TV watching? Which you can watch a TV in the front room too.
Steph so do you make all the decorations for the stables out of things the ponies can eat?

I can imagine,
Yes a lounge/Living room is the same as a front room with a Tv jacqui!
Yvonne, i was speaking to someone on facebook and they was saying that too.....you in california?
Jacqui said:
No. I use normal decorations around the outside of my little courtyard/stables. Where ponies can't reach them unless supervised. (Although ponies tend to be sensible anyway and not actually eat them!) and then sometimes I'll put carrots and apples and edible pony things on a string and hang them around, it's a bit like a game for them then too
A christmas treat game! They enjoy it and it only happens at christmas.
You meen the ponies do that to you blind fold you then whip you till you reach the carrot!
Whip=Tinsil!
