The Blinkin Lights Don't work

 


The Solar Lights mama bought for the side yard to illuminate my beautiful self in the dark, do not work.
They are now known as The Blinking %$^## lights.  

The blinking sun has shifted to the south and beams on different places, Mama is tired of trying to remember to move them, to a sunny spot and is now trying to get a full charge so she can pack them away for use if power goes out. 

The thing is, some idiot designer, put the on/off button under the little helmet which requires blinking screwing the lid off and back on to charge them. 
If she forgets to turn them off they burn all night and she is back to square one.... 
I heard her mutter the words garbage can a few times.
Can you tell how much I care????

Dear Beau, you will care... I'm still not convinced dogs can see in the dark (you probably go-by-nose, but your humans can't do that either), so unless you want to be crossing your legs all night, you care about lights. Paw smacks, your friend and feline advisor, Mr T.

Sounds terribly frustrating.

Too bad they don't work. That wouldn't work well for me having to unscrew the lid every day to turn them off.

Hello,
That is a shame they are not working. It would be nice if they put the on-off button in a convenient place. Cute photo of Beau! HUGS, have a happy day!

I often get frustrated with designers and think thoughts I should not think...

It's too bad those lights aren't working for you now, Beau. You do look like you care that those lights upset your mom.

I think I'd be muttering those same words! Our 2 front porch lights are the same way; Tom has to stand on a sturdy step stool and unscrew the top assembly ... PITA.

Where ARE you, Beau? That doesn't look like your house; and I don't remember momma and daddy buying you an aquarium.

Beau as long as you can smell where you want to go you are fine. But I hear mama's frustration

Poor Mom, hopefully she can get them charged and put away!

I can tell you don't care, Beau, but mom does. There is a lot of blankity blanks in this post. Tell mom it made me laugh out loud.

Have a woof woof day, Beau. My best to your peeps. ♥

That design sure wasn't a bright idea Beau!

Blinking lights for sure! I would be trying to return them, or trying to cut my losses by selling them on-line on Nextdoor or Craigs List, for sure. I know that's both frustrating and disappointing.

Beau! Your poor Mom! Some stuff around here must have been designed by the same engineers. We hear HBO words around here too. Mom worked in Taverns for 15 years and some of the word that come out of her mouth can curl your hair! Even our human brother blushes.

We love Brian's comment.

At least they were pretty for a while.

Are "garbage can" words anything like four letter words?
