She should be asked to swith on Accy's Christmas lights.

Rather than some naff tribute act.

She's a true local celebrity.

Someone who doesn't moan about her lot in life, but just gets on with living, with humour and dignity, and who helps to educate others about Proteus Syndrome.

How, when you quoted me, did it change to 'Macy's Christmas lights'?

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Let her switch on the lights here first, before we send her off to represent us in New York, to turn their's on.

Perhaps your spell chacker knows something we don't, and Macy's is about to open a store on Broadway.
