Happy New Year Wish for all my FReeper friends
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S.
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May New Year’s Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts for charity.
May you remember to say “I love you” at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God’s love in every sunset, every flower’s unfolding petals, every baby’s smile, every lover’s kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
Happy New Year Lainie!
2008 was a good year for me, despite all the bad news. I quit one job (after a nice end of year bonus) and start a new job next Monday with a hefty raise! I sure hope 2009 is not nearly as bad as people predict... but it seems the chickens really are coming home to roost this time. I guess its best to rip off the band aid now and suffer the pain than keep putting it off.
Mmm pecan pie. I haven’t had that in ages!
Me neither...can you even BUY it out here????
GOD BLESS THE USA!
That is so incredibly sweet. Happy New Year to you and yours, too.
Happy New Year, folks. And now off to the land of Nod (I am a real party guy!)
Yay for you! I’m glad to hear that. I really hope it all works out.
Happy New Year everyone. Let’s make the best out of 2009...even though we all know it’s going to be a tough (four) year.
Happy New Year lainie and thank you for starting such a lovely thread......
Charles Barkley, DUI in Arizona;
Matt Dillon for driving 106 MPH in Vermont; and Doug Wilson (of TV's 'Trading Spaces' and 'Moving Up') for DUI, failure to yield, suspended license and open alcohol transport, in Illinois.
Their 2009s are not off to the greatest starts...
I expect the worst from Obama, but I do have hope (for change)!
Not Sir Charles! That’s turrbil!
Happy New Year All!
I just got back from a John Starnes concert (before all the drunks got on the road).
Pecan pie is soooooo easy to make....mail me if you want the recipe.
I predict things will get better....everywhere! Too much negative stuff going on out there!
Happy New Year fellow Freepers!!! Having pizza and a movie....PARTY HARDY!! LOL Expect to feel pretty good tomorrow!!
Here’s hoping 2009 sucks less than 2008.
Over one million babies were snuffed out before they could even take their first breath during 2008 and there will be another million in 2009. Happy new year my bodingus. There is nothing “happy” about it.
