Again, more booze threads. ;-)

If the world comes to an end I think I'd rather be doing something a little more ah, physical. Can't say more than that without risking the wrath of the moderators.

Gonna have to find me a young man first, tho . . .

Oh, kb........
I an no longer young.......
But......

PICK ME....PICK ME.... PICK ME.....

Just saying....I am content with Lori...

But........as the saying goes......
I've always loved you.......

It's been Dec 21st in parts of Asia for over 12 hrs. I'm still curious to know if this thing has a time zone preference.

The winters solstice is not as most people think the shortest day, but the longest night.. which would be the night of the 21'st-22nd. And I am afraid that is as accurate as the 5,000+ year old rock goes.

The world can't come to an end, as I ordered some books of Anne McCaffery to close out some unfinished series. If it does end, I hope to meet her at the rainbow bridge.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

Yep, the spellings wrong, it's close though, it's spelled: baktuns, I had to add mayan to bocktoons to get baktuns...

kenzieB - You've already incurred the wrath of this moderator - you are in the wrong country otherwise we could find out if your definition of "more physical" was similar to mine....

OK on several websites I have looked the precise time of the winter solstice is 11:12 am UTC so as I type this there is still one hour and eleven minutes to go. Plenty of time for doing er whatever.....

I just bet all those people in that French village are feeling a bit silly :-)


Especially if they're jumping up and down, cheering and clapping. Thinking that they're the only ones left!

Until one of them gets a text msg from a buddy a few towns away asking how much of a idiot they feel right about now.

I know that movie so well I was able to follow that scene even with the computer muted. Trust Mark to pick out the one scene that was filmed in Milwaukee.

(Does admitting that make kb less likely to pick me?) (Notwithstanding that the solstice has passed...)
