Indeed, a very Happy New Year to everyone !!... ;D
We went out for a nice dinner. We're home now and staying here. As a matter of fact Doug's snoozing on the couch, the result of a great dinner and football games on TV. ;D
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
Grilled cheese and tomato soup, some month-end reports to run and some college football on the tube.....
Happy New Year folks! On to bigger and better things next year.
Dennis
Staying home! It's not worth the risk going out tonight.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! ;D
Happy newyear everyone
Ditto for us, Pauline. Exactly the same thing. Happy New Year to you all! We start moving one month from today.

Obviously stayed home. Wife and kid have been asleep for a while. I'm here watching Elvis Lives on PBS. Can't stand the crap they put on for music these days. Give me good Rock and Roll.
Out for early dinner with Miss Lucy at the Outback. Home now.... catching up on couple Scorpion episodes and watching football while reading a little Stuart Woods. In a few minutes we'll switch channels and watch the ball drop then go to bed.
I wish all you all here a very wonderful 2015! May all of you have healthy spawns and successful grow-outs!
Ron...are you doing Rosetta Stone Italian? ;)
Man, we're sure a boring bunch of old folks. I stayed home, too. Got in bed early with 6 dogs and got caught up on my New Yorker magazines. Woke up at midnight and said "White Rabbit" for good luck in the new year.
Not everyone's checked in yet.... ;D but I'll bet it'll be similar stories about just hang'n around home...

;D No. I was looking up meanings of GraphiGr8s' signature lines and stumbled across this!
It meant something to me. Several years ago, starting out in sales at the age of 29, I was in the coffee break room bemoaning the situation that I had a lot of new business going but it seemed like a bunch of it was turning to s--t. Jim said to me right then and there, if you weren't doing anything out there, you wouldn't be having these problems! I thought about it and realized it was a compliment.
I stayed in last night with the kiddos. The wife and I made it up to 11pm to see the ball drop in NYC then we hit the sack. I don't think its worth going out on New Years with all the crazies
Pizza and a movie can be a great New Years eve.... ;D

English translation: He who scrubs the head of an ass wastes his time and efforts.
I love Google!
However it doesn't always translate fully the meaning.
Heck I've forgotten most if not all my Italian since my grandparents passed.

Use the other translation...."The melody's changed but the song remains the same."
I like the first translation better. ;D

The story as I remember it was the song title was supposed to be "In The Garden of Eden" but the very drunk band member said what sounded like "Ina Gadda Da Vida".

Yep Pauline....The story goes that they were so drunk on wine at a rehearsal/taping that the line 'in the garden of eden' got slurred so badly that it came across as 'in a gadda da vida'.....they liked it so much, that they kept it the song....LOL....see 'rocky red mountain wine( rot gut)' has made a mark on history....LOL
