Yeah, it totally doesn't go with the thread. I know, I couldn't find the mullet thread and mashed potato one is mainly mashed potato based.  | |

It's OK...this cannot be real. You should start a new thread.  | |

so about the tree you bleached??? sounds like the sorta thing I would do Oh dear God...One year (different from the aforementioned year ) we went to a tree farm and got a lovely real tree. It was spectacular. Got it home and I was busy tending to my son while my husband got it out of the car and into the house and stand. We filled the stand with water and so forth. I don't remember how long after, but at some point every time I'd walk into the family room I'd smell this horrid smell! For days I sniffed and sniffed trying to figure out what was quickly rotting. I figured my then 2 year old threw an apple behind the sofa and that it was decaying.
Turns out that it was the tree!  I got on my hands and knees and discovered that the tree was not taking up water properly and the water was stagnant. Stupid men...can't even cut the dumb tree properly. 
So, I didn't know what to do and I certainly wasn't going to have a smelly Christmas tree so I poured a little bleach in there thinking it would kill the stench and whatever foul stuff that was growing in there. 
I killed the tree. Within 24 hours that tree was droopy and turning brown. I even have a photo of me holding my son in front of the droopy tree!
We don't have such a good track record with live trees. | |
