Reply #5: Agh, you just gave me a flashback!

About 15 years ago, during my ill-fated one year of teaching high school :scared: , I lived in an apartment that was 1/3 of a house--I had half the upstairs and there was an apartment below me, in half the downstairs, where the property owner's sister lived, and a family lived in both floors of the other side.

The wife was a big decorator--for ALL holidays--real craftypoo shit. And she would "distribute" what we were supposed to display on our doors (I had a door opening onto a balcony at the front of the house, which, apparently, had to be decorated too.) Every friggin' holiday...hearts, bunnies, flags... :puke:

I practically gave her an aneurysm at Christmas when I said I had bought lights for my windows. "Not...COLORED ONES, I hope?!" she gasped. Turned out that that year, she had determined our color scheme would be hot pink and cream, so all lights had to be WHITE. :eyes: (Luckily I had bought white lights--I may have been evicted if I had bought colored ones!)
