We are the absolute dregs!
What a pathetic bunch of losers we are, spending our time on New Year's Eve posting to a notary public Internet board. Boy, do we need to get a life.
On the other hand, I think I'd rather be home alone on New Year's than out with my B&TEW. At least I don't call myself names -- except maybe loser, and absolute dregs, and....okay, okay, the truth is, I'd really like to be out somewhere tonight with a blonde bomshell: full red lips, ivory teeth flashing through the smiles she is bestowing on me, bosom ajiggle when she issues that tinkling laugh, my arm around a tiny waist that tops enticingly flared hips and long killer legs, a breathy voice gravid with promise.....MiGawd! I think I need help bad!

Maureen inquires:
***Have you ever thought of writing Romance novels?***
Yes, but I think I have had my fill of that sort of writing. I paid my way through law school writing murder stories for pulp detective magazines. I guess, if you really want to strettttttch it, a couple of my stories could be considered romances. "A Dum Dum Bullet for Diana" and "Women and Whiskey Were the Death of Georgia's One-Legged Lover" come to mind. Whaddya think?

I think Robert C. Ruark wrote "The Honey Badger" was a foreshadowing of your BT&EW fifty years ago.
It's time for you to write the real story.

Sorry folks...but I just don't think that the holidays are a reason to be bothered if we spend them alone. Hallmark card commercials are the reason we think we are missing out.
In fact, Miss Dog and I got in bed early to watch television and I went to sleep around 8 pm last night. Miss Dog, of course, got up to patrol about that time. She's just now getting back to sleep after her night's work.
My mother probably did not sleep a wink last night because she called around 9 pm and I was sound asleep...did not hear the phone ring. I never called her back and I am waiting until at least 9 am before I do. I am sure she watched the clock turn to midnight and slept little because I did not call her back. She still thinks I am 25 and probably worried all night because she figured I had gone out and torn up Hurricane Harry's with the rest of the "kids" my age.
I can just imagine... About right now she may be sitting in her chair, dressed in her Sunday best with her little purse in her lap waiting for me to call her from jail because she just knows I must have been out, gotten arrested for disorderly conduct and that she'll have to go and explain to the officer that I really am a good "kid."  LOL Not that it ever happened, but mothers have huge imaginations.
Holidays spent on the road and trying to recreate holiday scenes of perfection are what stress me.
And, if I am a loser because I enjoy visiting with people that share my interests, then I am the happiest loser in the world. And, a well rested one this morning, as well.
You guys satisfy a need for me to communicate with people that understand my work in a way that my daily life friends do not--and don't want to! Believe me, my daily life people love me a lot more for not pressing them with notary details and minutia about my job that they don't understand and don't care to understand.
I am thankful for every single one of you and wish us all a VERY PROSPEROUS 2005.

I also had a great night sitting at home. I got to watch my young niece while my brother & his wife went parting. We watched scary movies (her favorite). She was asleep when the ball fell with her I-pod earphones plastered to her head. The only downfall was the store near me was out of eggnog.
HAPPY NEW YEAR YA ALL

Well, Lawrence, it's time to find a new store and never go there again.

Re: Not so dreggy
I must say that staying at home on New Year's Eve is kind of like my "anti-establishment" streak which includes the following:
I've never had coffee
I never have, and will never watch Dances with Wolves
Usually, I use New Year's Eve to watch movies that I've been meaning to watch all year, but last night I watched the Law & Order SVU marathon on USA.

Re: Not so dreggy
I have been pondering your post all day. It's driving me crazy that you won't drink coffee or watch that movie. I am trying to come to terms with it.
Maybe if you'd just watch the Seinfeld DVDs that came out this year I could cope with it.

Hi Brenda,
Oh I LOVE Seinfeld! Money is very tight right now, so the Seinfeld DVDs are on hold, but I watch the show every chance I get.
I'm a Star Trek fan if that's any consolation, as well.....and I do drink tea. LOL!
