2016! A good year to see the back of?

[simong]

With the new year approaching it struck me, I can't remember a year where so many famous people have passed away.

From pop stars & actors to comedians, from David Bowie & lemmy to Ronnie Corbett & Victoria wood. They've all gone west. Also we've lost a few decent blends of tobacco as well. Mainly plugs such as mick mcquaid, velvan & warrior, the one I'll miss most though is highland sliced, used to love mixing that with st. Bruno. Roll on 2017!

2016 holds nothing for me to look back on fondly. Here's looking to a brighter future, I hope.

Yeah - I'm generally ok with bidding 2016 adieu.

RIP Lemmy.

Really bad year for celebs, but I say enjoy the time you have. Next year may actually be worse! 8O

I'm rarely an optimist, and when I am I'm always wrong. But damn, Duane! :rofl:

I agree with Duane, but don't want to jinx the rest of the year. It ain't over yet. As a native of Indiana, I won't be taking a deep breath and relaxing for quite a few years. I kinda know what's coming. :evil:

My best year ever. Ending on a great note. Life is good.

Yeah good year overall, except for the dollar exchange rate. Celebrity deaths don't really phase me as it isn't someone I knew personally. I've started investing in stocks and so far I'm doing quite good, there's a green gold rush happening. Hopefully it leads me to a profitable hobby as I've always really been interested in the stock market, I finally took the plunge, now it's becoming like my new hobby.

Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell. A good thing for fans: the Cubs won the World Series after 108 years.

People are excited about the new year.By the end of it they're excited about the next new year.When you're 74 you're not really excited about another year gone by.You know that you have a lot more behind you than in front of you.I just keep on smoking my pipe.

So far, the high point of the year (for some of us).
Well, here's to expecting the worst and hoping for the best ... I guess.

I'm just hoping for a great 2017
