slave2six Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have never understood the hoopla surrounding NYD. A day has passed. Whoopie. I think celebrations should be reserved for accomplishments. Birthdays, NYD, and in fact most holidays are pointless, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryG Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Wow. A lot of folks alone. Sorry to hear that, but it's understandable. I know for some people being alone is hard, especially on a night where millions are celebrating. For those people, I hope for other, better options. But some of us choose solitude. I'll thoroughly enjoy myself -- and enjoy listinging to all those other people setting off fireworks, banging pans together, and shooting guns (in a safe direction, please!).

Moderator Margee Posted December 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have had may years of wonderful New Years Eve celebrations. I don't mind being by myself tonight. I'm going to watch the movie the Professor posted last night. One last binge on junk food tonight and then my goal is to get the weight off that I gained in the last year. I want all the drunk ones to come and post tonight and give me a laugh? I'll be watching the board...... Stay safe everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith666 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Sitting in my bedroom listening to music, I hope. Unless my dad wants to drag me out and lecture me about being social and ask why I don't want to spend time with the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Christian or non-Christian, I would be celebrating New Year's Eve alone anyway. Lol I'm a quiet introverted person and I have a tendency to be shy so I don't go out much or have a large group of people to hang out with. I'm okay with it. But the last part about the guns going off--ugh. I can do without that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Ricky Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The gunfire started six minutes before midnight (not including earlier practice rounds). One person started, then everyone joined in. It sounds like I'm in the middle of Damascus. (I'm not exaggerating.) I'm laying low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro-bear Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Update since you are all dying to know: I am drunk as a lord and ignoring my equally drunk houseguests to give you this update (you are welcome). Except the college kids my niece brought who are upstairs (I'm glad I hid my prescriptions) and I think they have bee sneaking out to smoke marijuana. But they are discreet so I haven't noticed but my wife thought she smelled it. It wasn't me, either. And the high school kids daughters included are downstairs doing Wii and playing pool and I have noticed no unexplained beer loss from downstairs fridge. But I am sure to pass out before most of these folks so I'll probably miss the best part, and not just because I'm old. So now you are updated. I'll tell more if I'm able, but don't hold your breath.

Astreja Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I acquired a crockpot full of homemade eggnog this afternoon. Am making reasonable progress emptying said crockpot, but it's hard going: The recipe calls for half a dozen eggs, 2 cups of heavy cream, and 1 cup of brandy -- Upwards of 2500 calories, or tomorrow's breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus Friday's breakfast as well. Pity they haven't figured out a way to transmit the actual drinks over the Internet, because I could use a hand here. (The friend who gave Me this sumptuous liquid feast is no help -- She's safely at home with a bottle of apple cider.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duderonomy Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 No need to be coy, roy, just get yourself free. I think that was from a Paul Simon song. When I next pass by that part of the globe (Texas), I shall look down upon it and glare. (That was for exliar. My quote thingie isn't working here. Don't know why. But still...)
