Oh no! :bugeye: I hope you aren't getting what I had (and still have). I have all the tummy remedies you could possibly need here, so I'll just zap them over to your hard drive if you need them.

Time to start inviting the party people!

I found this dude outside my lab -->

The other side of his sign read "Will measure magnetoresistance for booze" (in very small font size). Naturally, I had to take him up on that.

Wow, I can't believe you're still going! I'm imagining the crowd next door must look a bit like that. :bugeye: I guess I'm not going to get to sleep TOO early tonight.

Don't you just think it's common courtesy that if you're going to throw an obnoxiously loud party, you should invite the neighbors?

You mean, the crowd in the threads above and below? :biggrin:

You don't want to meet my neighbours. Nobody wants to. Case closed. :smile:

You need some de-carbonated real Coke. I hope you're not catching something.

I wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year. :approve: :smile:

Well, looks like I'm in for the night too - which is kinda odd, because I was pretty sure I had a party to go to...
 
  • #50
BAH HUMBUG..

I don't want to hear about this party stuff. I am at work after a 11 day shutdown, we startup on New Years Eve :cry: I am not sure who makes these scheduals but they sux!

You all go ahead and party... Don't mind me.


To make matters even more :cry: I spend the afternoon mounting a Samsung 42" Plasma HD TV on my bedroom wall. Then after getting a brief glimpse of the beautiful pic I head out for work. :cry: :cry:

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and thanks for being my online friends in the past and hopefully the future...

And we were counting on new pictures of you with your pants down to liven up the evening! :frown: Everyone around here is just too sick to go out and have much fun. I don't think my stomach could handle any alcohol tonight after the week I've had, and my friend is on medication, so she can't drink, so we have plenty of designated drivers and no drinkers.

3 hours away from New Years for me. If I don't post tomorrow, somebody call for help!

Wow, I just turned on Dick Clark's countdown, and I hadn't realized how affected his speech has become! Is that from whatever it was that kept him from appearing on the show last year?

Less than one minute!
