Remember when people would look askance if you left your Christmas lights up all year?
The day is rapidly approaching when not only will you be able to leave them up, but no one will so much as bat an eye if you leave 'em lit, too. -"BB"-

What is the store? My POSSLQ works on making Christmas gifts all year long. Fabric and Craft Stores push this stuff and 'crafty' customers want it now. snailgate.

I had to look up POSSLQ* there, SG. I had an idea what the POS bit stood for, and I thought that maybe the LQ bit was a relative of LGBTQ, but that assumption gave no usable context to the rest of your post.

I can't let the board ignore that I am an old fart. POSSLQ was a term from perhaps 40 years ago used by a federal agency. Snailgate

Pronounced "POSS-el-cue", similar to 'barbecue'.
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands and crystal brooks
With silken lines, and silver hooks.
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
If you would be my POSSLQ.
You live with me, and I with you,
And you will be my POSSLQ.
I'll be your friend and so much more;
That's what a POSSLQ is for.
And everything we will confess;
Yes, even to the IRS.
Some day on what we both may earn,
Perhaps we'll file a joint return.
You'll share my pad, my taxes, joint;
You'll share my life - up to a point!
And that you'll be so glad to do,
Because you'll be my POSSLQ. ............... Charles Osgood
I'm pretty sure that it was an option on the 1980 census for the 'marital status' question. One must admit, it sounds better than 'shacked up' or 'living in sin'. -"BB"-
