Merry Happy! I posted a few days ago asking for help with a prelit tree that had entire portions not lighting up, or flickering like crazy. It was a crack tree situation and I could not find anything helpful on my own and you wonderful people came together and saved Christmas/ yamainwitch-mas. I was literally ready to just throw it out and have a festivus pole. You guys are the absolute best. A thousand thank yous! Sorry I don't have a crack tree before picture for you, I was too embarrassed lol. Lemmy is the best 🤩✨
Edit: here's the link to the og post for those who did not see my desperate plea for help lol

Imma ride this high through the New Year! Special thanks to die444die! You literally walked me through how to do this, there's no way I could have done it with out you 🤩🤗 and Aevironis you helped me source the perfect lights which made the swap ✨flawless✨. Ahhh I'm just over the moon happy right now 🥰💖🥳
Every piece of this advice is absolutely brilliant and thoughtful. I'm really glad that you took the time to type it up. I think the diarrhea joke is hilarious and it would totally break the ice with me. It's a hell of a first impression and it would definitely live in my head for a long time. The only thing I would add besides knowing your audience is that you can't say the wrong thing to the right person that kind of takes some of the pressure off of you and in my experience I've found that to be very true.
