I'm so old I Remember when:

[Rick589]

To celebrate the new year I will sleep, and wake refreshed with no memory of shenanigans.

Yep, better to wake up refreshed than to wake up with a hangover.

 

[Rick589]

New Years celebrations were something I did it my youth simply because I was following the masses. But, for decades the ‘New Year’ has been nothing more than one more tick of the second hand. Remember Y2K and how all of the hype turned to nought, it was just one more tick of the second hand after all.

Yep, better to wake up refreshed than to wake up with a hangover.

Nobody ever regretted having one too few.

Anyone remember having the circular scar on your upper arm from the smallpox vaccine( I believe it was smallpox and on the left arm)? Do you still have it? Mine vanished many years ago.

Mine is still there, but I really had to look for it.

A what now?

Here's another question. Anyone have any idea how 'Twilight Zone' marathons became a New Year's day thing?

 

[Rick589]

A what now?

When we were kids, we received the vaccination and it left a circular scar. Mine was there for quite a few years but eventually disappeared.

Made you look, didn't I?

I can’t agree, I went on a whiskey tour in Edinburgh, went with a friend who usually doesn’t drink either, so when she merrily drank, I drank too, the next morning, I had the worst hangover EVER!! My friend didn’t, she was chirpy I was supposed to meet the landlady of my daughter, so I tried to recoup as beat as I could to meet her, first asprin came back, the next one stayed where it was supposed to, so I could meet the lady halfway decent, that was the last time I drank more than 1/2 glasses of wine
