Happy New Year, Everyone.  What is your resolution for the new year???  Mine is getting everything unpack and put away from my move in June of 2007.

When my wife and I were first married, she would ask every year what resolution I was going to make for the new year.  After a few years of trying to come up with something that I could possibly keep, I gave up.  That year my resolution was------------I was never going to make a New Year resolution again!  And that is the only resolution I have kept.  Happy New Year!!!!  larryj

I Figure if I don't make a resolution then I will NOT break it.
so what you see is what you get.

Me.....!!!! AS IS.

Happy New Year to all who participate in the forum. I have certainly enjoyed your company these past months, and am looking forward to ought 8!    I especially enjoy the history items that all of you buffs have posted! Keep 'em coming! This is not my original home, but it is nice to know about where I live. I appreciate all the gaming, and the sharp folks who participate in that, and the current events also. It is nice to know that I am not the only person with opinions that are unpopular with the media. I miss Kermit! Does anyone know what has become of him? Waldo, I especially enjoyed your article on railroads in the Flint Hills paper. Diane, I love your humor and your fantastic intelligence! it is a pleasure to read your posts. Judy, I hope your health improves, and you are able to move freely. Jo, you should be ashamed griping about the humidity! LOL!  I envy you, I bet the birds are fantastic!

Well all, I have a load of laundry to fold, then I'll break out the chip and dip in preparation. I have many blessings to be thankful for this past year, the most recent is the near recovery for hubby. He was dangerously ill, but is getting better all the time. And the last great blessing; we have a small Italian Greyhound along with six other dogs. He is especially close to me, so you can imagine how broken hearted I was last night when he didn't come in with the others from the last potty break. He is very shy, and wouldn't take up with anyone so I imagined the worst. I walked and drove the streets till four this morning, and didn't go to bed till after five. I didn't find him along the road or evidence of coyotes, but I thought that was what had happened to him. I got up this morning and started looking again, just no sign at all. It was close to noon when I gave up and went home. I pulled into the yard just in time to see hubby come to the front door, and there was Onie, coming around the side of the house! Tickled to death to be home. I bawled and bawled; the other dogs were all over him, and was he happy to be home. He was cold and filthy dirty, and hungry; a little chapped where his hair is thin, but I don't think there will be any lasting problems. Haven't a clue where he'd been or what had happened, I just thank God he's home safe.

SOOOOOOOO-----HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

Thank God your baby is home!!  It is such a helpless feeling when you can't find them.  When I came through town in October I stopped at your house and knocked at the door.  (I wanted to see if you had any antiques or old photos, I remembered seeing a sign in your yard one time), anyway, there was no answer but all the dogs were barking.  I got such a kick out of looking up and seeing a couple of little dogs looking down at me.  I assume they were on a stair case. Anyway, Happy New Year to All!

I'm so sorry I missed you Roma. Next time call me first and I will make sure I'm there. In October I was probably in Kansas City with Ted. That is when he was having such a hard time. I spent many days sitting in intensive care and many nights waiting beside the phone, just in case. Kansas City isn't the best place to be by yourself, however I stayed in a little hostel run by this couple that cater to folks who are using K.U. Med Center, or have folks in there. They fixed me up with a one bedroom apartment with all the ammenities, coffee, ice, candy, books, puzzles. Just like home, or a close facsimile. God bless, give your babies a pat from me and I wish you a special Happy New Year!

Let me be the first to officially wish everyone a happy January 1, 2008, from here on the east coast.

Happy New Year from Greenwood County.

And, Happy New Year from Escondido!  It is now 12:20 a.m., 1/1/2008!  We had a nice evening of playing cards with our daughter and son-in-law.  (We're "wild and crazy folks!")

"there was Onie, coming around the side of the house!"
What a true blessing that your "Onie" found his way home!  I love stories with happy endings!

My hope for all of us is to stay healthy in 2008!
