19:13:57 It appears one of the tables in my WordPress DB got corrupted last night. So my site is down until I figure out how to fix it. Not happy.
19:33:18 Restored the corrupt database table from a backup from yesterday. Site back up. Now back to wrapping presentsвЂ¦

05:33:24 .@ScottNY71 I think we’ll stop way before that. :-). We’ll let you do it though. I expect pictures. :-) in reply to ScottNY71
05:38:02 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:37:30 @abulsme Ask & ye shall receive. 3rd Christmas at this house. Started w/just house lights. More lawn stuff next year. http://t.co/cUoxMEYkkJ in reply to abulsme
05:39:27 .@ScottNY71 Looks good! Here we just have one string of lights over the garage door, two around the porch. More next year I’m sure. in reply to ScottNY71
05:41:17 .@ScottNY71 The lights over the garage are actually DJ lights like the kind they use at clubs and such though. So slightly differentвЂ¦ :-) in reply to ScottNY71
05:41:24 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:41:04 @abulsme Wife wants shed "door" to be wrapped like a present, other inside window lit up, ornaments on outdoor spruce, etc. It's hard work! in reply to abulsme
05:43:07 .@ScottNY71 I think we’re going for the вЂњdiscreetly placed so we can just leave it up all year & only turn them on at the holidayвЂќ vibe. :-) in reply to ScottNY71

05:44:16 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:43:56 @abulsme May eventually have front door and porch lit up too. All warm white LED constant on except candy cane walkway and fake in/out tree. in reply to abulsme

05:45:58 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:45:42 @abulsme Had an 8 foot inflatable Santa. Too tall for windy corner house. Tried 5' one, didn't work. Will try again next year with 4 footer. in reply to abulsme
05:47:01 .@ScottNY71 Santa has to leave to deliver the presents! Can’t just stay at one house you know! in reply to ScottNY71
05:47:30 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:47:11 @abulsme I think my wife just wants me out of the house exercising and risking my life on ladders. Daughter loves it though, so worth it. in reply to abulsme
05:48:46 .@ScottNY71 I am not fond of the ladders. Did outdoor lights this year for the first time ever because my 5 year old son requested it. :-) in reply to ScottNY71
05:54:12 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:51:37 @abulsme I don't mind sturdy ladders. Bought an extra tall one just for the spruce/roof peak. Hate flying bugs & loud noises when high up. in reply to abulsme
05:55:10 .@ScottNY71 My ladder is sturdy enough in reality. But my brain is pretty sure I’m lying to it when I tell it that. in reply to ScottNY71
05:59:02 Retweeted @ScottNY71 05:58:17 @abulsme I've learned ladders are always sturdier than our brains/balance think they are. Once you realize that, it becomes easier to climb. in reply to abulsme
05:59:42 .@ScottNY71 Yeah, yeah, I know that. Brain still not about to believe it. :-) in reply to ScottNY71
06:03:58 Retweeted @ScottNY71 06:03:24 @abulsme Never said it was an easy lesson to learn. When a roofer said I had $4k damage, I climbed the hell out of his rickety ladder to see in reply to abulsme
06:04:28 .@ScottNY71 A little motivation always helps. :-) in reply to ScottNY71
