Merry New Year to You, Too!

Couldn't have said it better, i've thought about going out alone tonight repeatedly but i'd just rather slowly drink the warm jack daniels apple punch *takes another sip* and watch tv, play poker or in my case completely gut the house and spring clean early well its better than doing my cat on a hot tin roof dance debating with myself if i should go into Douglas or just goto bed and say fuck 2015, its amazing how much house work i've been doing lately ;) Happy New Year i'm hoping 2016 is sexual rollercoaster of enlightenment for everyone

Into the last 12 hour of 2015, all the best to all Hubsters for 2016.

So what you waiting for ... Ready any time alone horny with Mr President
Details of meeting on comment please I can drive wherever you are

Heyyy sexxxy......Happy New year.......;o)img src="imagesadultemoticons029.gif"

Japan does fireworks all year round, but the passing of the old year and arrival of the new is marked by quiet reflection, and personally I think that's more appropriate. I think wild celebrations should be for things achieved or accomplished, and none of us know what the new year will hold for us, so I think reflecting on what has passed, while having cautious optimism and hope for the future is a better New Year philosophy.

Like Debs, I lost my Mum in 2014 and my Dad will never get over it. He is very isolated up in the north, and it is for his sake mainly that I keep returning to my native Cumbria. My parents had what epitomized the "ideal" marriage, and I couldn't have hoped for a better upbringing. However, over the last 18 months I've been wondering whether it really *Is* such an ideal situation for the lives of two people to revolve exclusively around each other for so many decades. I think there has to be another way, and perhaps that's why I've been using sites like this. Of course my parents are from a different generation and they didn't know any other way. Naturally I owe them a huge debt of gratitude for my life, but I don't think I can live my own in the same way they lived theirs. These days we have the opportunity to keep looking outwards rather than constantly looking inwards towards domestic bliss. Some may still prefer the latter, but I always feel motivated to think about what may be waiting just over the next horizon, and I suppose New Year is a time when that feeling is especially appropriate.

I've just got back from a party and will have to do the usual stunt of going back to collect the car later...I never learn ! Loads of my very favorite and dearest ladies on here and to each and every one I wish you all your heart desires for the coming year ( that goes for the fellows too )
I have just given my body a serious talking-to and told it to do it's best to get me through 2016 ! We shall see !

EG,
This whole period is over hyped and leads to far too many expectations.
I took the opportunity to party, not to celebrate the new year but to celebrate a friend's birthday..
It was a milestone year for him so unbeknown to everyone invited, we had a surprise birthday party.
Party games and party foods, yep even the cheese and pineapple hedgehog, but a little more up market and imaginative.
An excuse for a party, yep maybe but no one even considered the year that was other than a pause to watch the fireworks at midnight then back to silly party games.

Happy new year to you all but all it really means is you have to buy a new calendar...

Sue,
Yes it is another use for a pineapple,
But just keep to what nature intended for it...
A french maids outfit, lace top stockings and high heels, a little black moustache and bend over!!
By the way, how is Chris's German accent...oh schnitz!!!

Deb, forgot to ask about your lurgy..
I do hope its not man fl,u cos like, that is really serious... Albatross flu just pales into insignificance compared to homofluenza, which the only known cure are tickets to the next footy match or an invite to the local with yer mates...
Anyway, i hope you are feeling better now and rest assured that what you have is just a runny nose...

Meantime do a good chocolate porter..
and they are a London brewery, can't beat a bit of Thames water...yummy.

Deb,
As much as "suff of tha walta" is renowned for its ruffians, bear bating and ladies of ill repute,
Those days are now long gone, and it is possible to travel in relative safety on the other side, albeit rather slowly cos i think the road planners were on lsd...Elephant and castle, need i say more!
Howere Suechris does raise a good point, no south of the water would have one vital benefit...
The thames would become the Great Britsh channel and France would be a hundred miles away.

Suechris,
When you say "Gods own country" do you mean Hemel Hemstead?

Mr C,
I would reserve the water from Bekton Sewage works for making the whiskey....
The thought of having piped to the tap in my house has always left a bad taste in my mouth.

Hey Fetchy, I'm with you re the parties lol, Like some others on here when my ma passed 12 yrs ago I gave up on Xmas, she loved it so much I couldn't bear it without her, and I feel for those on their own at this time of year, but to me New Years Eve is a celebration of the year to come, whatever hopes , dreams or aspirations you may have, its nice to look forward with optimism and hope than look back with regrets. A new year, a new dawn, a new day...but then again I've always been a optimist......Anyway hope you all enjoyed your NYE no matter how you spent it

wots with the blanked out bits in my post? years and may have...wots wrong with them pmsl

ha ha they did it again

Married 50 yrs soon, found my soulmate, my friend, my lover, my protector, couldn't have wished for better, so the guy whose name i cant recall saying he couldn't live as his parents did.....thats because you haven't found what they did...yet.

what is wrong with this damn site lol......fifty years and the guy whose name etc

lol I give up

Hey Cockney,
Its gotta be checked by the Blog Fairy.
The *** will go as soon as shes had a read.

Cockney---7 years ago, we were sitting around watching my mom die of cancer; she was diagnosed in October. She died on the 15th of January....long enough to see us through the holidays but not long enough to see her last gandson born, as she promised. Christmas has never been the same, as you said.

I never thought I'd be all that affected by my parents' death...after all, I'd seen quite a few friends die, as well as family members, and it was sad, and life changing, as most deaths are, but my mom gone was the end of the world to me.

I cried on my Merry Fucking Christmas. New years time is not, for me, a time of reflection (I reserve that for my birthday in June) but just another eveningday to be with friends if that's the way it happens.

Yea, I was online here at midnight on New Year's Eve. Seems most of us there at the time were either home sick or just living out yet another night. Friends we may not all be, but it's nice to know there's someone out there at any time of day or year. :)

I spent NYE trying not to fall asleep on the sofa. I was knackered and seriously contemplated going to bed by 11.30pm. But I felt I just had to stay up until midnight so I continued watching Elementary. Then just before midnight, all these darn fireworks started going off so I couldn't hear the tv!

As for resolutions, well, not making any this year. I know what I want to achieve and making a ny resolution isn't going to make anything magically happen.

Happy new year to everyone and a big hug to everyone who needs one. x

Nothing wrong with that EG to be fair you can be surrounded by people and still feel alone and sometimes the best company can be your own. I hope you enjoyed your evening and your new year brings you every happiness xx

Sass, your quite right, I am indeed very lucky (and so is he lol) to have had the pleasure of being married to the same wonderful guy for so long...and they said it would never last lol, seriously though, when the dream ends as it will eventually I just hope I'm not the one left behind...selfish indeed, but after so long I cant envisage a life without him.

welcumdistraction...thanks for that,....newbie to the blogs as it shows lol

EG, my ma died in october... exactly one week short of of a year since she was diagnosed with cancer,so that christmas was the worst I had ever spent, trying to be jolly for the kids and grand kids, doing the usual stuff but inside feeling dead, not just because she had gone but reflecting on the year spent looking after her till she died at home with us, the suffering she endured, the pain of seeing her fade away, my big strong ma who solved all our problems one way or another, was always there when needed, the biggest loss I have ever felt , so I can sympathise with you. Its been 12 years now and still every day I think of her.
That NYE wasnt spent partying or drinking, it was the saddest one I have ever had. NYE has always been the best night of the year for me for the reasons I said earlier, a time to look forward with hope, a new beginning. I dont do reflecting back.....regrets? well just a few, but then again too few to mention as ole blue eyes said..I just look forward... I am not one for sitting still and letting the world go by, I like to think there will be adventures anew, new places to see, people to meet, I am forever a optimist.
If I were on my own no doubt I would have been in the chat room too, its a good place to cheer up in if nothing else (most of the time lol) with the banter, wit and jokes. I hope this year will be a good one for everyone, that their wishes may come true and they find peace and happiness.

I know the feeling. I have my go around a lot but still spend loads of time walking alone. Lucky I like my own company. Lol
