No good going for the sympathy vote [-(
:PAnd then she woke up… :-
Dear Santa,
Can you please give the pretentious, up their own arses, judgemental people who think making sarky comments at others makes them look clever a pair of blinkers so they can ignore the posts that so obviously offend them and allow them to concentrate on their own self-preening.
Those that have gone ahead that I miss so much already know but they’d better be planning my welcoming party for when I eventually join them…hopefully later rather than sooner!
Thank you (and please just drink the sherry in the glass and not the whole bottle this year)
xxHmmmm this “just one present” is growing… :lol:
Good heavens I thought we were poor but we usually got 5 presents each, one big one like a bike and 4 small ones, and a stocking with things like fruit and nuts in the bottom then little fun things…being a bit of a book worm I would have one or two fewer presents but a small pile of books instead.
Mind you, we never had the big pressies they have today…
Did you get a stocking too?
You’re not old enough to remember when kids only got one pressie…nor am I! :P

The infamous Y2K situation. Futurists had visions of toasters attacking their owners with weaponized toast and lawn mowers chasing after gardeners. Governments around the world feared that computers and electronic systems would read the digits “00″ as 1900, instead of 2000. There is no doubt that at least a few of the people who showed up in Times Square in New York that night were expecting to go out in a blaze of glory. Much to their dismay, the Y2K situation passed relatively harmlessly.
And if lord knows how many computer programmers hadn’t spent the 2-3 years running up to 2000 going through computer systems making the changes necessary and fully testing the systems, then many computer systems would have failed and the world might be a different place…

If you write that date in short form, it comes out 6/6/06. As you may know, the number ’666′ is referred to as the sign of the devil. Religious sects were informing everyone they could that the Antichrist was returning to Earth and that people should prepare themselves. Either the Antichrist never came, or he got stuck in traffic because Earth still stands.
There is a school of thought that the number of the beast is 616, not 666…but let’s assume that it was 666…if the Antichrist was born on 06/06/06 he (or she) would now be 5 1/2 years old…there’s time for the end of the world yet :wink:

6.) December 21/23, 2012
This is quite possibly the most famous date for the end of the world. The date was “predicted” by the Mayans as the last date on their Long Count calendar. Other events are schedule to occur in 2012, causing more hype. One event includes the sun reaching a solar maximum (it might happen in early 2013). When it does that, the magnetic poles of the Earth supposedly might reverse, causing unimaginable damage. There is also a theory that a giant solar flare will incinerate the planet and if that wasn’t enough, supervolcanoes will erupt and completely block out the sun for whatever life is left on the Earth.

We are all equal in the eyes of God…shame the same can’t be said for the eyes of the so-called men of God.
