HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

I'm having a quiet night and heading off to a ski resort with my daughter in the morning. :)

Happy New Year to all. We started the celebration by retiring the 2001 Honda and welcoming the 3013 model into the garage. Counting down to the New Year now.

3013 model? So it's a time machine as well as a car? Did Honda steal a Delorean? :D

Happy New Year! :P

Happy New Year, all!

I'm taking bets on how long it takes this thread to morph into a religious debate.

Are we still here? My calendar ended yesterday.

If we are, then happy new year to all, with or without calendars.

Is there much of a Mayan population in the Netherlands?

Apparently there is. And the Mayan calendar might not be wrong for 3 reasons:
1.) Hostess went bankrupt, which does mean the world will end soon.
2.) Old Spice actually carved a Mayan calendar into stone, adding some time to the hourglass. This might have actually worked.
3.) They finally got lazy and just didn't carve another calendar. It was the end of an era, regardless.

Not that I know off.

But I wasn't talking about their calendar. I was talking about the one I made in Excel, a year ago. It did let me print a new one this morning, so I suppose we are still here.

Happy new year of conspiracy theories, religious and atheist mindless indoctrination, anthropogenic and naturally caused global warming, crusade against the ACBL system and cell phone regulations, and God willing maybe some bridge as well?
