We had a pre-lit tree where 2/3rds stopped working... we just wrapped more lights on to it
Same thing happened to ours. I was too lazy to unwrap the dead ones and replace with new so I gave it away and bought a new tree. Just set up the new one and turned it on....it started to rotate. I didn't know that I bought a rotating tree. That would explain the funky plug in the oversized base (has a collar that permits rotation without wrapping up the cord). At least you can still have it lit without the rotation.

I hate having sensitive skin...the bandaids needed to protect the 2nd degree burns are leaving a nice rash of their own. Damn adhesive chemicals...even the sensitive variety.

My wife has this issue too. Can you completely wrap the wound with gauze and then use the white medical tape over the gauze without it touching you skin?

Or use something like this?

Have you tried paper bandage tape? My MIL has sensitive skin and the paper tape works for her.

adhesive = no go and that require a lot of guaze since it is my forearm

And, how did you get 2nd degree burns?


baking last week. oven door closed on a tray of cookies I was taking out. mr snick took the oven racks out so we could get the jelly cleaned up before burning/stinking the place up. He put them on the sink behind me and I didn't look when i put my arm on the edge of the counter to stand up...brushed up against the right out of the oven racks.

The Christmas drama has already begun. My sister and her family are traveling here today. They were supposed to drop their stuff at my parent's house, then head over to my house for dinner with the whole family. They got a late start, so that plan has been scrapped. That would normally be a normal change in plans, but emotions are already running high.

My mom is pissed that my sister isn't staying longer than a few days, so them getting a late start has her all pissy. My dad acts like a jerk around the holidays. My BIL can't stand my parents, so he's always starting shit. My grandma has dementia, so she's like a toddler. I think my sister, grandpa, and I are the only sane ones, and I think we'll be taking care of that with alcohol for much of the week.
