Heh...when I was little, we'd always want Mom and Dad to wake us up at midnight so we could listen to the radio when the ball dropped.

One year, apparently Mom got me up and I cheered with them and everything and they put me to bed. I didn't recall any of it in the morning - I was *furious* as only a hotheaded six or seven year old could be because they'd rung in the New Year without me. Guess I was sleep walking...

I still don't do late nights very well! Your girls have things rignt. ;-)

yeah, that's one!

I'm sure they'll be much better dates than my cat, although my cat will be awake at midnight.

Taskman isn't a virus - it's a Windows process.

Do you have any antivirus software at all? If not (or even as a backup), try going to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and running that scan...it works pretty well. Might not hurt to do it in safe mode with networking, so files aren't in use.

They hit it like clockwork at 9.

Last year, I just watched movies with a friend since we didn't have anywhere to go. Her then 3-year-old managed to stay up until 9 pm, and we counted down to ring in the new year. Celebrated with a little grape juice, and then she went to bed. I didn't make it to midnight, though. I ended up driving home shortly after our little celebration. LOL!

Those are all spyware detection tools, not antivirus software.

I'd give the Trend Micro scan a shot. Because it runs via the browser, it often works when other programs won't.

I may give them skating till 11ish, and some coke to keep them up, but they will be cranky the next day. I also do not want to screw up their training schedule because they have a big meet next weekend, and they want to try for the pool record in a couple events. They aren't that close, but I'll never tell them.

We all end up in the same year, whether we sleep into it or stay up past our bedtime!

You have to wonder what people who lived before normal calendars would think of crazy parties revolving around a single moment in time. ;-)

Stupid stunt I pulled one New Year's Eve night:

Every New Years, we would go to my Aunt and Uncle's to celebrate. They lived about 35-40 minutes away if you took the express way. Well, I was 16 at the time and was a fairly new driver, and that night I couldn't go because I had to work (I had a job at a grocery store).

I decided rather than going home like I was supposed to, I would pull a surprise and drive all the 35 minutes to get to my Aunt and Uncle's. Thing is, I wasn't entirely sure how to get there in the first place. I just had a pretty good idea. I thought maybe I'd get there in time before the party ended.

So I got off of work a little after 10 and decided to just do it. And there I went.

After about an hour's drive of wrong turns, guessing, and trial-by-error, I made it. And the party had long since been over. And Mom and Dad had called, with no answer, and gone straight home to find that I wasn't there was no sign of me at all.

So my Aunt and Uncle nearly passed out when I got to their house, and I had to call my Mom and Dad and tell them where I was...I had been missing for an hour. They were worried to death.

Dad didn't want me driving by myself at night anymore and wanted me to just spend the night, but I managed to talk him into coming and getting me and driving behind me in his car.

Somehow we got home before midnight and I still had time to watch Dick Clark for a little while. My Dad hated driving that route...and that night, he had to drive it four times in just a few hours!

What a night that was.

Hi Scott and everyone,

No big plans this weekend. Moving is you or helping someone else? We shall do what we can to continue the trouble you got into for FReeping instead of helping out!
