Burned out-literally.

Notice anything different about our tree in this picture? Maybe click on it to get a better picture...........Yes, that's right, the top NOW has no lights after we decorated it two days ago. We came home tonight, turned it on and this is what we saw. The top line of lights are the old lights where if one burns out, the whole line is dark. We have two options now after we take off the decorations in that area. The first is to take the line off and try, one by one, to find the burned out light, replace it with a new bulb and HOPE it works because sometime even then it doesn't. The second option is buy another line of the LED lights and throw the old into the garbage. I am in favor of the second option. In fact, I have a third option, buy two more LED lines and wait for the last old line on the bottom to burn out and then out to the garbage with it, leaving an all LED lighted Christmas tree. We've been dealing with these one light burn out lines for 8 years, buying at least one new line every year and I am tired of it. Personally, I prefer the softer light of the old lights but am fed up with the burn outs.

Thanks to the husband of my sister I have a new picture of her when she was a cheerleader some years ago but never had the picture before. Thanks Jim.
 
Zauwa偶y艂e艣 co艣 innego na temat naszego drzewa na tym zdj臋ciu? Mo偶e kliknij na ni膮, aby uzyska膰 lepszy obraz ........... Tak, to prawda, g贸rna ma obecnie 偶adnych 艣wiate艂 po tym zdobione go dwa dni temu. Doszli艣my dzi艣 do domu, w艂膮czy艂 go i to, co widzieli艣my. G贸rna linia starych 艣wiat艂a s膮 艣wiat艂a, gdzie je艣li wypali, ca艂a linia jest ciemno. Mamy dwie opcje teraz po tym zdj膮膰 ozdoby w tym obszarze. Pierwszym z nich jest na lini臋 wy艂膮czy膰 i spr贸bowa膰, jeden po drugim, aby znale藕膰 艣wiat艂o wypalona, ​​wymieni膰 j膮 na now膮 偶ar贸wk臋 i mam nadziej臋, 偶e dzia艂a, bo czasami nawet to nie. Drug膮 opcj膮 jest kupi膰 inn膮 lini臋 艣wiat艂a LED i wyrzuci膰 stary do 艣mieci. Jestem zwolennikiem drugiej opcji. W rzeczywisto艣ci, mam trzeci膮 opcj臋, kupi膰 dwie kolejne linie LED i czeka膰 na ostatni starej linii na dole, aby wypali膰 a potem si臋 z nim 艣mieci, pozostawiaj膮c wszystkie LED o艣wietlone choinki. Mamy do czynienia ze 艣wiat艂em S膮 to linie wypalenia przez 8 lat, kupuj膮c co najmniej jedn膮 now膮 lini臋 ka偶dego roku i jestem zm臋czony. Osobi艣cie wol臋 bardziej mi臋kkie 艣wiat艂o starych lampek, ale jestem do艣膰 out贸w oparzeniowych.

Dzi臋ki m臋偶a mojej siostry mam nowy obraz jej, gdy by艂a cheerleaderk膮 kilka lat temu, ale nigdy nie mia艂em obraz wcze艣niej. Dzi臋ki Jim.
