I thought about all you guys this evening. My family was walking around a German Christmas Market in downtown Sofia when all of the sudden The Queen of Christmas came blaring through the speakers. Mariah and her Christmas spirit will not be denied.

This is one of two reason why I put headphones in. The other is Whamageddon.

Heh-heh:

Since the death of Wham!'s George Michael on Christmas Day in 2016, the GTPlanet forums has transitioned using to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You" as an alternative challenge. This version of the game is termed "ApoCareypse", and all of the original rules apply.

I'll be picking it up this afternoon and opening it on Sunday which is my birthday, the dreaded 31 because now for sure I'm not getting any younger. If the elders were smart they would have said, "at 30 we go back to 29 not up to 31 I would feel much better about myself

Happy Birthday!

Can someone please send that OLD MAN a Rocking Chair for an extra Secret Santa gift? LOL

A few weeks ago, I informed @mikethompson that I'd be backing out of Secret Santa this year, as I'd learned that I have Hodgkin's lymphoma and was beginning chemotherapy.

I suppose that I could still have participated, but priorities shifted and my heart wasn't in it anymore (as maybe you can understand).

Well, Mike wasn't about to leave me out. He already had my address (from a previous kindness), and shipped out to my children some Canadian snacks (knowing that I'd grown up in Canada, but no longer had access to these goodies).

In corresponding about this, he said that if he could put a smile on my kids' faces during this difficult time, it was worth it to him.

Thanks, Mike. Now I have a picture to post this year, too.


@SBC, wishing you all the best, and a speedy recovery!

Holy $%@?, if I feel as bad as I do at this age. I don't know how you guys haven't turned to "dust" yet.

 

[Puffaluffaguss]

And yes, I believe compared to your generations, which discovered L.S.D. and partook in many crazy experiments and what not. My generation is highly privileged in comparison. I was born in a weird time and to some crazy Motly Crue fans who also listened to N.W.A and 2Pac. So I must say I had quite the upbringing.

Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. The catch is everything eventually kills you.

Ah, Fifties role play sex. Young people are so spoiled today. All we needed back then was a vacuum cleaner and a blindfold. Those were the days.

The wife just got home with my SS gift (aka birthday gift). I can't wait to Open it.


THANK YOU JEFF, YOUR THE MAN, "MAN"

By “we” are you referring to yourself and the vacuum?

@PipeIT i see your post was deleted. While I appreciate the humour, it is clearly not NZ.

Firstly, judge the size of the crowd gathered on either side of the parade, why would our entire nation gather to watch sheep? I mean we all own at least 5 of them anyways.

Second, I point you to the flag on the left. Circled for your viewing ease.

Thirdly, the spectator on the right. Circled for your viewing pleasure. As far as I know, Jeff Ironside has never been down under.

Stop spreading your fake news



Edit: and to rest my case, the traffic lights are on the wrong side. It took me a while to notice, but that’s cos we don’t use them. They are green all year round, except for the silly season where they flash green and red

 

[PipeIT]

Oh I guess I didn’t delete it fast enough... LOL
