Quoting:
George Carlin indeed... (who is George Carlin)?

End Quote

George Carlin is a very funny comedian, and very vulgar.  His best-known skit is the seven words you can't say on TV (or post on this message board).  When I had HBO (premium cable channel), I always watched for his comedy specials.  The last one I remember, he came in on the back of a delivery truck--and the truck had West Virginia license (or for you, Bobo, licence) plates on it.

Quoting:
Dagwood, don't forget, its 2002, which means that its the Winter Olympics this year. If you want to watch it, that is.
End Quote

I live in Salt Lake City, so I couldn't forget the Olympics if I wanted to.  I am not looking forward to the influx of people from everywhere.  I hate traffic now, I don't want to see what it will be like.  At least I don't live or work near any of the venues.  That should help.  Hopefully.

Quoting:
I look forward to New York getting bigger and stronger and showing the cowardly terrorists that they will never win.  As everyone else, I look forward to happiness and being with friends and family.  I also look forward to falling into adolescent love - its bound to happen sooner or later (hopefully)  ;)

There are plenty of things about 2002 that I will most probably dread, but I won't bring them up right now, I'll focus on the happy stuff

Good list, Sharona.  Keep the focus on the good and most of the bad won't seem as bad.

Quoting:
I hope you feel better about things to come, JO.   :)  It's not always easy to focus on the positive, but I hope you give it a try.  :)

Especially at times like this. Positive outcomes seem so far away, at the beginning of a fresh start. I send a prayer out to all that are suffering at this time of year, with these circumstances. May God bless you all.

not on the first date? shee! I kissed on my first date!It wouldv'e been 5 years today.But she broke up with me cause she moved into a residence.Oh well,time to move on,so to speak. :D

Quoting:
Five years today? What a tragic anniversary. Well, I'm sorry for that, but as you say, time to move on.
End Quote

yes, Bobo.January 5th,1997.I took her out to a nice restaurant the on first date.Ok,Ben's Deli.Then after that other fine restaurants later on.she was bitching and moaning about he ring.and we both couldn't afford it at the time cause we both had jobs in sheltered workshops that paid crap money.And how the hell can I pay for a freakin' ring when I get paid by SSI and work in a workshop that pays $35.00 for 40 hours?? That sucks. >:(

Regular kiss on a first date is ok, French Kiss would be at least a second date (unless he didn't brush his teeth, then probably no kiss at all....ew slimy teeth...eeeewww). :-*

Quoting:
35 dollars for 40 hours? That would be illegal in this country... And, I don't understand the "pregnant dog" thing, can you explain what with it?
End Quote

pregnant dog is another word for a female dog.the curse words are changed around for yours and this web site's protection.instead of saying this word,they change to something that's more nicer to say.

Quoting:
I know, I know...a day late, a dollar short, or whatever.  Hopefully 2002 will be a year of rebuilding.  Lord knows 2001 was rough.  Everyone is still just a little on edge.  It's comforting to see people different countries chatting on this site.  That is a step in the right direction.  Also, kudos to My Sharona for keepin' the faith.  NY will get stronger and better just like the rest of the U.S.  I am just proud to be alive and well and where I want to be in life.

This is what I have experienced so far...with this year almost gone, I'd thought it might be fun to compare peoples experiences from back at the start of this year...although Mine are rather morose... ;)
Bills
Woes
Losing/Gaining weight
Sadness in Losing a friend
Relationships...Good and Bad...but still, lessons were learned...
and a very Hot/Dry Summer..for which I am NOT complaining about...
AND unfortunatley...Snowstorms and Freezing Winter weather...which I AM complaining about >:(
