So, How Was It?

Happy New Year!

Did you drink? Did mischievous things? Fell asleep early and forgot it was New Year’s Eve?

BTW, Do any of you still use wall calendars?

  1. Every year my wife’s daughter gives us a wall calendar with pictures of her children at Christmas. All important stuff goes on it, and my wife has saved every one.

    Went to bed at 10:30, was awakened by assholes blowing up mortar fireworks at 12:20. Still 19 days of hell with the stinkin’ Democrats in charge.

  2. I still use calendars.
    About every two or three months I realize the month has changed and flip them to correct month so obviously I have them but seldom use them.

  3. Watched “The Blues Brothers” with my son, d-i-l and grandkids. Got in bed and checked my blogs until 11:40. Fell asleep so soundly did not hear the midnight fire works and I live a half block in from the lake in Chicago. 2025 is going to be great.

  4. I drank two beers.
    No mischief.
    I tried to stay awake but was in bed at 11:30.
    I usually get a classic car calendar from my wife but didn’t get one for this year (yet). She keeps a calendar on the counter in the kitchen where all important info is recorded.

  5. I’m putting up my new 2025 dad joke wall calendar this morning. I was in bed before 9 last night, it’s been a while since I’ve stayed up late to ring in the new year. Happy new year and a better year in 2025 everyone, our 4-year nightmare under biden is almost over in 20 days. WOO HOO!

  6. Disappointed they did not have the NA hazy IPA I discovered this summer, but enjoyed the NA Guinness stout; nothing mischievous; stayed up; and yes! wall calendars. I like (and need) the visual even though I use the phone/computer calendar to keep all the appointments.

    Happy New Year 🎉

  7. No to drinking, I’m primary caregiver for my 87yo mom and have to be available 24/7.

    The statute of limitations has run out on my mischievous side.

    What is this thing called sleep?

    Yes, two calendars. One on the frig for household chores and one on the rolltop desk for all things medical.

    Happy New Year!

  8. Yes, always have a wall calendar. My office is hung-ho on using the Google calendar, forcing us all to detail every moment of our lives. I hate it. Have noticed many times the boss has to send email apologies over something he forgot to send because he’s obsessed with this Google shit.

    Give me a wall calendar and a marker and I’m 10x more organized than he could be.

  9. Finally realized why this Christmas seemed so different than years past when I put “A Christmas Story” in the DVD player. It’s just not Christmas around here without Ralphie. Made it all the way to the Bupus Hounds making off with the turkey, then woke up to Geoff C. snoring away through “Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra, Ra Ra Ra Ra!”

    Went to bed at about 11:00 as the revelers were tuning up for the main fireworks events.

    Happy New Year, 2025! It’s gonna be lit!

  10. NYE..Not feeling well, took NyQuil and woke up on the bathroom floor.
    Does that count as drinking?
    My calendar is on the fridge.
    All important information goes on that..and in my phone calendar, and in a passport TN that I carry in my purse.
    I’m scatter brained, I need reminders everywhere. Now ask me if I routinely check the reminders 😁

  11. I like New Year’s at work for a little while as a lot of our labeling and recordkeeping has Julian instead of Gregorian dating, which is the last digit of the year followed by a 3 digit day from 1 to 365, so this is day “5001” in Julian.

    Its real simple to reconcile the Julian and Gregorian days then, at least for the first month…

  12. My office is hung-ho on using the Google calendar, forcing us all to detail every moment of our lives. I hate it. Have noticed many times the boss has to send email apologies over something he forgot to send because he’s obsessed with this Google shit.

    When you don’t have the ability (or have lost it) to lead or manage, there’s always Google…

  13. Welcome to one of my favorite sports. Gluttony!
    Dinner at home for two:
    Couple of pounds of clams in red sauce,
    Six small lobster tails,
    Couple pounds of filets.

    Burp… In bed way before midnight.

    Calendar on the fridge downstairs and one on the wall upstairs next to my desk.

    “How do you remember all those anniversaries and other dates?”
    First job when hanging up the calendar upstairs is transferring all the notes on the dates and adding a year.

  14. Have a wall calendar from the Church donated by the local Funeral home. Have a desk calendar from the Audubon society and presented one to my retired Pastor . Gave our present Pastor the jokey bird desktop calendar ‘EFFIN Birds 😉

    HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! Am praying that this year is so much better than last year … there’s always Hope!!

  15. Toasted the New Year in with sparkling cider with the kids and grandkids.
    I get a Thoughts of Dog desk calendar every year, and I used to always get an Ansel Adams wall calendar for the kitchen, but now I just get one with big spaces for writing in appointments. 😛🥳

  16. Did the grocery shopping early to pick up the makings for some spiced up stuffed cabbage for New Years Day. Played a lot of “Battle Brothers” and finally made it to a good point to stop at around 9:00 PM. Read a little bit of “The Fall of Hyperion” and turned the lights out to listen to some “Sammartini Late Symphonies.” I like a nice quiet New Year’s Eve.

  17. I watched disaster movies all night. Ate an apple for desert about 5:30 and around midnight heard my rural neighbors shooting target practice (we all have little ranges on our properties). Went to bed about 12:30.

    Yes, I have a small wall calendar next to my computer. Have special days marked (birthdays, etc) and doctor appointments. Oh, and on 11-5-24, I marked “Trump WON!” in red ink!

    Ditto. The wife’s had the cold for going on 4 weeks. She rarely gets sick. Things got bad enough I took her to a Doc in The Box on Sunday and they prescribed her a couple meds. She seems to be slowly on the mend. I’d suggest doing the same.
